Have You Ever...had one of those lives????

Do you ever wish for an end in sight?

For every made-wrong thing to be set right?

And do you remember the next day

The things which kept you up at night?

Have you felt the fear of saying goodbye?

In your head, hoping it’s all a lie

Feeling so spent, like you could not try

Simply      ONE      MORE      TIME?

Your heart fragmented, shaken deep

Gaining weight and losing sleep

Eyes cried out raw and red

Never wanting to get out of bed

When you think of the future

Is the picture clear?

Can you see it the same as my view from here?

Have you ever felt the cold wind blow

And known its bone-splitting chill?

Have you had your ears assaulted

With promises fashioned of swill?

 And realize your former strapping will

Is       ALL      USED       UP?

Anticipation of failure close at hand

Free falling, not knowing where you’ll   land

Have you ever felt like you’re running through sand?

Then you are     JUST     LIKE        ME.
