Holding On While Letting Go

Spectrum

Spectrum

I try to control it, I really do,

but sometimes they're too strong and they come through.

It's a challenge for sure, one like never before,

one that strikes deeper down, right into my core.

All that is within me tries to make it stop,

but it overwhelms and my power starts to drop.

What can I do?

This emotional spectrum is taking control,

taking over my mind, myself as a whole.

I'm stuck in a world where there is no end

to the rips in my heart that I cannot mend.

From rage to will, compassion to fear,

nothing I have will this battlefield clear.

Hope, greed, and love join in the fight

and I feel this will not be resolved tonight.

But what can I do?

Clearly I cannot solve this on my own.

I must call for aid instead of waiting alone.

And this, my dear friends, is where you come in,

for I know with you this battle we'll win.

Without you, I've no leg to stand on

no support for when all my hope is gone.

With you, the spectrum balances out.

My hope is restored, I no longer doubt.

Concluding, I say that I need all of you

to help me stand up and keep making it through.
