feeling blue today
Thinking of things that make no sense
and why in my mind they stay

A few years have past
since the time I was born
Birth I was given
then my life apart was torn

My feelings are mixed
and confused I am today
The only thing I think of
is to take my life away

Because of my confusion
my mind is truly not so clear
My thoughts and reactions
act upon things I hear

I often look around me
seeing nothing but sorrow and pain
I think of my future
and think I have nothing to gain

The loneliness has come over me
making me feel the way I do
Feeling there is no other way
and with this I must go through

Just for a second
Only closing my eyes
Letting myself hear my thoughts
That jails me behind this disguise

Taking a deep breath
I try to relax my soul
Thinking of one last thing
that could give me a new goal

My mind knows only depression
It sees no other way to go
It only wants me to end things
but that truly isn’t so

Behind this fate of sadness
there is a place for me
I just need to find it
instead of taking the life of me

I can find strength and courage
something that is deep inside of me
I can change a fatal moment
that would only make me a memory

To live and learn
finding pleasures not yet known
It can take me places
finding bad feelings I have outgrown

Because I hesitated
and didn’t take my life away
I broke through the confusion
allowing me to live another day

Breaking The Confusion In Taking My Life Away

Looking out my window

Thinking of things that make no sense
and why in my mind they stay

and confused I am today
The only thing I think of

This is really good Waynester. You manage to keep every line just flowing and carrying into the next. The hope now apparent, after the growing disappointment you would have been experiencing before, outweighs that massive hooded shroud, keeping you from seeing better days. Not only does it outweigh it, but it breaks the knot tied around your collar, and yanks the hooded shroud off, and in the process, jerks your head upward and back to see the world, and not just the miserable floor you've known.

Great write. :)
