When Sadness Washes Over Me...



Sadness washes over me, and I don't know what to do!
I feel so sad and angry, hurt, and weary and blue.
I am trying to fight the fight this day, but can't seem to win,
Oh why I have I been given all this health rubbish from Him!
I am trying to be strong but can't! I just can't face this mess!
But to look at me smiling away, you'd never really guess…
I feel like my backs against a solid brick wall…
It's like I'm on the edge of a cliff and about to fall.

There is no safety net waiting there to catch me…
And pain and suffering is all that I seem to see!
I look to the Heavens where it is He resides,
This God almighty, this God so wise!
But where is He now when I need Him so much?
He is all that I had; to carry me through, my crutch!
I have never floundered as I have this very day,
Don't know where to run, got nowhere to stay!

I want to run and hide myself from the world,
Because of all the hurt and suffering that's been unfurled!
But there's nowhere for me to go, no place to hide,
The wall's against my back, to the front and the side!
I can't walk away and pretend all is well…
When I am in the middle of a living hell!
I am welling up with tears, and I'm not happy at all!
Where is this God, why doesn't He hear my call?

I tell myself there isn't one, and try to turn away!
But I just can't do it; I just can't be that way!
I wish I knew just what the hell to do…
But I don't, and the negative's showing through!
Got no-one to tell, can't let anyone see…
Just what this krap is doing to me!
They think I'm so strong, so very tough!
But I have to be honest, I'm finding this rough!

Every day is a fight for me to stay alive!
I have no idea at all, why it is I survive!
But here I am, each and every day,
But now I can't do it, I want it to go away!
They tell me that this, that and the other will occur,
Well I'll say it for the first time! It just isn't fair!!!!
Why has this life of mine turned out, oh, so bad?
I am floundering in a sea of tears and I'm oh, so sad…

Don't know what to do; don't know where to turn,
Can't see the light, there is no flame to burn…
The tunnel is dark for the first time in my life,
I can't seem to get rid of the pain and the strife!
I often wonder why my life has been so blessed!!
By Him giving me test after bloody test!!
They say He only gives us what He knows we can bear!
But I can't take any more, I can't!  It just isn't fair!!!

So yes, today I am so saddened and blue…
Sadness washes over me, and I don't know what to do!
Were is my strength, has it abandoned me?
Is that why no light at the end of the tunnel I see?
I need to focus, but I don't know how to do that!
I'm all at a loss; I don't know were I'm at!
So I will have to run and hide for a while…
Until I can focus, and find my elusive smile!

But I know from the past, present, and till today…
I will prevail, well, I hope to some day!
But for now I can't focus, and I can't seem to smile…
And what scares me more is, can I walk that last mile?

…Because I just don't know if I can…
