Feelings of hurt, depression, and despair
Thoughts of suicide
Feeling no one cares
These feelings come and go,
But never quite fade
It's still a daily struggle
That I fight most every day
Will I overcome them
Or someday be consumed
These are questions I ponder all of the time
Do I have the strength to pick myself up again the next time that I fall
Or will I crash, burn, and hit the wall
Am I strong enough to fight the devil till the end
Or will I simply give up to defeat
Just let myself crumble at my own feet
Do I have another get up and go
Can I handle the next awful blow
Will I lie down and crumble and fade away
Do I have the strength to stay in the game
Is my faith strong enough
Am I really that tough
I write down my feelings
I write what's in my heart
Sometimes it's all that I do so that I don't fall apart
My self esteem was almost shot
Yet I've always known in my heart that not all is lost
For someone has come and showed me the light
Helped me through my days and nights
