Ragdoll Lament

by Just Lucy   Jan 18, 2008


Nothing but bad news all week
Nothing but excuses that I now need to keep
Have to have something to look forward to
Have to have that light to follow.

Have to hold my head up high
Have to try to stay strong, look up to the sky
Have to smile so I don't falter and cry
Have to sadly say goodbye

Have to stay standing.. up, straight and tall.
Have to not worry, have to try not to fall
Have to look Happy, Cant look destroyed
Have to pretend my life's like it was before.

But I cant keep up with this charade
I feel like all that I am; is going to cascade
I feel like I'm alone hurt, in despair
This time I cant see that light to follow.

This time I'm lost and imploding with fear
This time its just me, no family near
This time I'm hiding, neath the depths of the ocean
This time its too much, Ive fallen over the edge.

A heart wrenching fall as I scream for my life
The rocks on the walls are as sharp as a knife
And as I bounce from rock to rock I know,
These wounds I now hold, will never let me go.
