I hope that others feel the same... [bodytext] => Misery washes around my dark heart
Maybe it will take it away
To another, better place
...somewhere..

The tide washes over me
Who will be there to hold my hand
When it pulls me under

I want a better life to live
Though it will only be a lie

Now I want it take me away
To some place new
Without repent and anguish
Will there be one existing just for me?
Theres no sense soothing this yearning anymore
The longing, that one dream
It breaks me apart like little sticks

I stand here
As the day light falls on the side
Where the sea meets the land
Its shores are reason and desire

The tide alone is so merciless
And a being pushes me to go
Nothing remains for me here

As the Tide comes over me

Misery washes around my dark heart
Maybe it will take it away
To another, better place

The tide washes over me
Who will be there to hold my hand
When it pulls me under

I want a better life to live
Though it will only be a lie

Now I want it take me away
To some place new
Without repent and anguish
Will there be one existing just for me?
Theres no sense soothing this yearning anymore
The longing, that one dream
It breaks me apart like little sticks

I stand here
As the day light falls on the side
Where the sea meets the land
Its shores are reason and desire

The tide alone is so merciless
And a being pushes me to go
Nothing remains for me here
...forever..

Excellent write, you definately portray the yearning, longing and confusion that you feel.

This shows deep emotion, and I became absorbed in your personal struggle. It touches right to the heart, but even though it seems pessimistic, there is an underlying stress on hope...like your image of tides and the shore...the sea washes everything clean. Nicely done.
