My body is finally exhausted
But my thoughts just won't let go,
I've had it up to HERE with life
But you've been there too, I know.
As the world spins on it's axis
I feel I'm going the other way,
Everything is whirling, twirling
I can't stand it another day.
I wish I could just lie still awhile
Some quiet respite to find,
Forget all the many cares
That now occupy my mind.
I imagine there are many others
That have the same problems that I do
But it's so hard to think of those
As it's happening to you.
I'm feeling purely selfish
Wallowing in self-pity,
So many out there down-on-luck
Think I'm sitting pretty.
And maybe from the outside
There's not much wrong to see
But they dont know what's going on
Deep in the heart and soul of me.
I hope life has a flip-side
For this part has grown old,
I want to feel love and warmth
Instead of dreariness and cold.
I need help to pick up the pieces
Of my tattered heart
And bind them tightly back together
So they'll never again be torn apart.
