I wake up each day,
Eat out o' a bowl in which pain and sadness is served,
I am forced to ingest this choking meal for nothing can I say,
Happiness is but a temporary companion the hard way have I learned.
For unto her heart and her being did I cleave,
Like a suckling to its mothers breast,
Till one day happiness flapped it's wings in readiness for flight and decided it was time to leave,
Leaving me at the mercy of the vulture that is sadness all alone in my once safe nest.
My eyes flooded with tears,
He touched my tears with His staff and bloody red did they become as the Nile,
For how long shall I wait till this pain from my heart clears?
Though a lad of youthful pearance sadness has made me like the old and I am senile.
You whom are my gift looketh upon this demon called sadness as it torments me,
If thou cannot deliver me with love from this corpsen shell called depression then whom shall I trust?
I have become of no substance flowing directionless like the waters of the sea,
For alone in this world I am and I am lost.
