TO THE POINT OF DEATH

The struggles of life 

Has overwhelmed me 

My heart is burdened 

By the thoughts of what 

Might of been 

Each day I face an uphill fight 

I wonder endlessly in the daytime 

And is depressed at night 

A call for help echoes unheard 

Hope for tomorrow 

Seems absurd 

I pray to the faceless one 

Seeking just a little relief 

From nights fearful claws

And day's scorching sun 

Still I feel the agony of pain 

My tears like a fountain 

Cannot not be restrained 

Life has beaten me down to the ground 

And my smile is turned upside down 

I have no strength to rise again 

So for the rest of my days 

I must endure the pain
