~ Coming Undone ~
Standing in puddles, drowning in tears
caught up in webs of dark yesteryears
Fear, pain, demise, illusion
searching, hoping, praying, confusion
Loneliness strangles, taking my breath
deeper I stumble into the abyss
Love, hate, tears, sorrow
seeking own answers, maybe tomorrow
Memories resurface, some very unkind
can't decipher what's real, just frame of mind
Roots, family, foundation, home
loved ones gone, children now grown
Life, death, future unknown
thinking, wondering, where will I go
A room filled with friends yet so out of place
uncomfortable, frightened, I look at each face
Darkness embraces like some evil curse
shadows bring torment, strip me of worth
Inside I feel empty, heart has no song
aching-dying, where'd I go wrong
Wife, mother, sister, friend
something still missing, no need to pretend
Happy, angry, afraid, sad
could it be I'm totally mad
Shattered, broken, all will is gone
cloudy, gloomy, lost in a storm
Like an old garment, splitting at seams
hurricane forces stealing my dreams
Caught in the seaweed, trying to swim
waters murky, pulling me in
Aloneness forsakes me, can't battle the fight
but maybe tomorrow, I'll see a new light
Maybe, just maybe
I'll see a new light

When life seems unfair and depression sets in,
remember to look upward
and ask Him to help.
Then and only then, will you see a new light.
