Sense of It All

Sometimes I feel

It's hard to go on

Even to get out of bed

Search through my head

Focus my eyes

Can't take another step

I don't feel right but say I am fine

If you should happen to ask

I don't know why my chest feels tight

Breath coming in ragged gasps

I've got to run

I don't know where

Away from this troubled mess

Can't take anymore

The simplest thing

Has me breaking into a sweat

I don't like this shaking fits

My body's about to drop

I cry and scream and then complain

To make some sense of it all

I fall to the floor I crawl I seek I implore

I've traveled far

But the silent ones

Have caught up and come to call

Their quiet screams

And patience unbound

Demand I bare it all
