...This Invasion So Cruel…


Slowly but surely it takes hold,
No compassion - it doesn't care!
Can't see a way out, there is no doubt,
Some things in life just aren't fair!

Omitting and oozing its havoc,
For its havoc that it will reek,
Nowhere to turn, nowhere to run,
No solace can I seek!

It has no right to be so cruel,
And no right invading my soul,
Wrecking my life, filling it with strife,
Destruction is its final goal!

This intrusion so cruel, I feel it starting off,
This invasion creeping over me,
Blinded by pain, going insane,
Desperation is all that I see.

Where does it come from, does anyone know?
From where does it start, and end?
Will it ever ease back, will it ever release me...
From an unmerciful pain that isn't my friend!

Every day that I face, every morning I wake,
There it is once again…
Making life hard, what can I do?
To rid myself of this pain!

I condition myself to face each day with strength,
But each day gets harder to bear,
Sometimes so consumed by this pain of mine,
I cry out to God:  ‘Are you there?'

It's at times like this that my faith is tested,
Dear God, how much can my body endure,
At times like this, I beg of God…
To take it away, and not give me any more!

When it subsides, and the pain eases a little,
Giving me some form of release…
I thank my God, once more for relief,
And for a while, revel in my peace.

For my pain is with me every second, day and night,
But sometimes it's so hard to bear,
It gets out of control, I can not cope,
And sometimes it's so hard to care.

Every day is a nightmare, it gets harder to face,
This pain that wracks this body of mine,
And every morning that I awake…!
I know it's another day another fight - all the time.

…One day at a time, I remind myself …
Not to think too much, and not to look ahead,
Don't think of tomorrow, only today,
For I'd go through living my life with dread!

I know I have to face each day with this pain,
And that's so very hard to accept…because you see,
No-one knows the suffering I have…
Only me, only me, only me…

‘Give me some release dear God,' I beg of him!
‘Help me to get through each day,'
‘Keep me strong and keep me true…'
‘Help me to cope, help me to find a way!'

‘A way to deal with this body of mine,'
‘And to help me get through my strife,'
‘Give me the strength to carry me through…'
‘Give me the support to guide me through my life!'

I ask Him, and I know He hears my plea!
But can He support and can He help me?
Can he give me a little peace that I need?
Can He, can He carry me, can He?

…This Invasion So Cruel…

…I Pray So…

..It's A Hard Day...

I Am Not Looking For Pity…Just Help.

…It's Allowed Isn't It…
