THE LAST STRAW






THE LAST STRAW




HELP! I`m  drowning in my own sorrow and despair
I`m so alone, it seems no one is ever there,
I pick up the `phone, then think, who is there is call?
I stop and wonder, there`s no one, so my tears fall.


Is there anybody out there with whom I can share
My toils and troubles which seems beyond compare?
My saddened heart is heavy and swings like a brick
I have a gut wrenching feeling which makes me feel sick.


I never knew one person could cry so many tears
I try, but rhyme nor reason cannot stop my fears
I am so despondent, it seems beyond belief
I am past caring, now I only seek relief.


The heartache, hurt, desperation, with no cure
Makes life seems to be nothing but a chore.
I want the terrible loneliness inside to cease,
I want to sink into a sleep where I find peace.


Take me in your arms Lord and cradle me tight,
I will nestle there safely and not put up a fight,
Take the pain of my heartache which is too much to bear
Lift me high and take me home `cause I know you care.


I hear the Lord`s voice say, "You cannot return yet"
"For you will live by the rules that I have set",
"I will hold your hand and comfort you, be strong",
"For you know what you do is very very wrong".


Jolt – Bang – Bright lights and men in white coats are there,
Saying, "Welcome back, How do you feel?", I just stare,
"You will be alright now, but don`t try it again,
You`ll go to the grave soon enough, stay and fight your pain".


I pull myself up and dust myself down,
I try every day not to wear a frown,
Thank you Lord for my second chance at Life,
I will face everything, but turn my back on strife.
