feeling numb

feeling numb and blue:
trying hard to thine own self stay true:
i know that brighter days are ahead:
but right now i feel heavy as lead:
am just trying to breathe and survive through my day:
am trying my best to cope and say to myself come what may:
i know that im headed for a great fall:
right now im standing against the wall:
i want this all done and gone:
i feel where im at that i just dont belong:
my best that i could do just was not good enough:
so im taking it kinda rough:
i think to myself i really did and am still doing my best to raise every kid of seven of mine:
i try my best to not give up and keep on a trying:
from a--through z--with all these kids i have delt with it all:
i just feel so low right now as im standing against the wall:

i dont here much praise from anyone of much good that i have ever done:
a pat on the back i get little or none:
instead i get put down of all my shortcomings and how bad that i am:
but i give it to god--cause i know today yesteryear and tomorrow i will continue doing the best that i can:
that i can:
i just feel so exhausted and numb:
dont feel energetic with much fun;
i feel like there is a black cloud above me everywhere that i stand:
i feel like im all alone a one man band:

but i do know that god you are here:
and i know im not alone in facing my deepest fear:
right now as im feeling so down devastated and numb:
let me remind myself that in life in all matters gods will not mine be done:
behind every cloud there is a silver lining:
as cold and dark that it is right now i believe that one day again the sun will be brightly shining;
so as of now when im  standing against the wall--and in my life im preparing myself for a great fall:
 know no matter how beat down and low that i get that you oh lord will help me stand tall:

because oh lord i know you know the heart intentions of every woman and man:
and i do know and believe that in my life i will be blessed with your master plan;
