Emotion
Leo
Exhausted I sit, no lay, in a heap.
Wondering where to find the strength
To stand up and put my feet below me
And walk to the end of the day.
Then rage takes over pushes and me up.
Running with the reins and dragging me on.
There’s no escape there’s no way out,
But fighting, and wounding, and damage.
Guilt is a creep, one that finds its way in,
And eats through everything it sees.
It kills a heart and a mind and a soul,
And leaves in its wake a gaping hole.
To fill in the hole, I distract my mind,
From sad, from mad, from all.
We hide in the hole till the world’s gone by,
Not knowing how to build a wall.
There’s no easy way to find that place,
The one that puts a smile on my face.
Happy is a place I cannot find
Within my heart, within my mind.
So exhausted I sit, no lay in a heap.
Wondering where to find the strength,
To stand up and put my feet below me,
When all I want to do is sleep.
