To Myself



You've been lost for far to long,
Inside a sea of misery and dispare,
Grey clouds overhead sing a horrific song,
And from what I've seen no one is there.

A fountain of tears have fallen from your eye's,
Landing so gracefully into your lap,
As you remember all your failed try's,
And try to make up for all you lack.

A thousand memories flood your mind,
So you try harder to push them away,
You ask yourself why life has been so unkind,
And be to make it threw another day.

Still I ask you to hold tight dear girl,
There is a light shining from the darkness,
keep moving forward give it another whirl,
Soon you'll see an end to all your madness.
