Bewildered

Confusion has set in
light, becoming dim
what path lies ahead

Mist
fear
pain

Images returning
too agonizing
stay away!

Just let me be
leave me
once more

So weak
unable to accept
what is to come

Slipping
grasping
falling

Focus on today
this hour
this moment

This place I revisit
uncomfortable
unsure

Drifting
fasting
sluggish

Rest
brings renewal
briefly

My eyes
closing now
to awaken once more

Reality reminds me
the struggles within
awaiting release

relief

comfort

will return

but when...

Just Let Me Be

Weary, oh so weary
no strength left within me
I have no fight left
it has stolen my life force
Just let me be....

No light, close the drapes
turn off the phones
I'm sorry I cannot talk to you
please understand
Just let me be....

As I hide here, my own little world
depression is taking over
so strong, I cannot overcome it
for now, I must ride this out
Just let me be....

This too shall pass
or atleast, I tell myself this line
every second is eternity
let me sleep now
Just let me be....

There are no coping skills
for such an overwhelming state
I can barely raise my head
let alone try to raise my own spirits
Just let me be....

As I sleep, my dreams are restless
dreaming of the abuse of the past
dreaming of the nightmares of today
and yet, this is all I want right now, sleep
Just let me be....

Could you possibly understand
what this horrible world is like?
my doubts are many, 'tis true
but maybe these words will help you
because all I really want right now
is for you to
Just let me be....

Fear for Tomorrow

Oh how wretched is my soul
such termoil, such pain
have mercy on me....

What hideous thoughts
creeping into this mind
confusion leads to madness
followed by the PIT
oh the depth and darkness
of that PIT
have mercy on me....

Bitterness that I harbor
evil prevails
hatred of what my life
used to be
rage that boils
into a volcanic eruption
have mercy on me...

Ghostly and ghoulish images
never to forget
revenge, 'tis so sweet
yes, revenge
pour out those years
of pent up anger
have mercy on me...

Grateful
that today I have control
fear then emerges
for what tomorrow holds
have mercy on me...

Darkness

Darkness around me, on all sides
so overwhelming, I cannot breathe
stillness...evil lurks here
it wants to steal my soul
it wants to end my existance

Such pain is so difficult to bare
so unfair, UNFAIR!
these images appear in my head
images of sharp steel
must end this pain

UNFAIR, I SCREAM!
why is MY life this way?
I did not ask for or want this
but here it is, within me, part of me
forever lurking in my shadows

Evil, the best word I can use
no good can come of this
only pain, only despair, only
lonliness
everyone I love leaves me
they do not, cannot understand

Emptiness, why am I here?
why do I exist?
why am I so ill?
no cure....
no hope....

Help me, please
help me to get out of this hole
to get me out from under this rock
help me to see light
Darkness....

Dreams

They are always there
I know they are there
my eyes are closed
yet I still see

I don't want to look
it is too frightening
I try to turn away
this is agony

There she is, taunting me
evil across her face
a smile of demented satisfaction
she has hurt me, yet again

There he is, watching
knowing he has done his part
he lets her finish me off
no conscience, no remorse

How does such evil prevail
how do they sleep at night
is this their ultimate goal in life
to have pleasure in causing pain

These are the parents
that God has given to me
I cannot see the reason
I cannot see the end

Only God can see
how this tragedy is played out
my faith seems so weak
where must I go from here

Now, I must rest
allow my heart to heal
please take them from my mind
take these images, I pray
