Sinking Feeling

Time's passage slows, returns to right
As I awake from my darkest night
I pull away from my tormented sleep
I resist the urge I have to weep

I try to pull myself together
I tell myself I have to weather
Each of the wounds it is I feel
And yet still all seems so unreal.

I cannot shake this sinking feeling
And as my hope is quickly stealing
Further it goes, to never return
The tears spill forth, my eyes do burn

More often than ever I cannot cope
Always struggling up this slope
Each new trauma throws me back
And my will, it's beginning to crack
