Burning Questions
~ Another day drones on-buzzing away in my ear.
I feel the pain. I feel the fear.
The fear you instilled. The pain.
I seem to always lose and yet you seem to benefit, seem to gain.
As I get one step ahead; I believe I'm going in the right direction.
But it seems the world rallies against me,
now courts want to take action.
I feel the heat, I feel the walls closing in.
If I keep getting pushed back to start, how do I continue to begin again?
Where do I find the strength?
Where do I find the courage?
How do I continue to smile when there is no end?
A windy road stretching for miles and miles?
Uphill and overlooking a cliff.
Rocks and mud. I feel the quicksand.
I am sinking fast and I reach for your grasp.
Are you strong enough to pull me? Save me from instant death?
If you leave, do I really have nothing left?
I feel the emptiness.
It's so cold.
I need my warmth baby.
When did I lose my ability to be bold?
Did I lose my self-confidence along the way?
Will I find it in this mess of a life?
Will I see the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow?
Will I ever feel the bright sun shiney day?~
