Life has taken its toll on me.

I've rebuilt my life twice and it's once again been pulled away from me.

I'm fearful of the future I can not see.

I was sick once before, but now its happened once more.

I've lost the place, I called my home.

I'm fearful of the future I can not see.

I hate asking for a helping hand.

Yet, here I stand with my hand out, feeling bad.

I'm fearful of the future I can not see.

I've lived my life with good and grace.

But now I'm fearful that hate has taken its place.

I'm fearful of the future I can not see.

I'm trying to rise a third time from the ashes on top of me.

I want to defeat tit one last time.

I'm fearful of the future I can not see.

I hate not knowing where I stand.

Is this now who I am?

I'm fearful of the future I can not see.

Beat, broken and swallowed whole.

What else am I to know?

I'm fearful of the future I can not see.
