Crashing Down
‘I hate my life’ my reaction to each new day.
And nothing will make this feeling go away.
Every minute, I struggle to see it through.
I accept this, my depression is nothing new.
Lovers, I have none, time is not on my side.
Tears, I have plenty, though all of them I hide.
Some of my very best friends, I no longer see.
The reason why, that’s still a mystery to me?
The new life I built for myself, was complete.
But then it all came crashing down to my feet.
I turned things around, had something to live for.
Now, I have to pick up the pieces once more.
Is that possible for a second time, I don’t think so?
Not when with each passing day, I feel this low.
The answers, I have none, to help with the pain.
Tomorrow morning, my feelings will be the same
