It's important as you read this one to realize that we all have time when are
down and the thoughts expressed in poetry can sometimes be a little dark.
It in know way in this poem is an expression of what is to come,
only the deepest darkest thoughts that creep into the minds of many human beings
The way I deal with many things is to write my soul.. Thats all this is..

My mind needs to rest
Im getting weary of the constant test

Looking to the sky for strength and power
help me to breath in the darkest hour

Knowing in time, the struggle will ease
getting to that place is the key
I am so tired I cant even write
How do you continue to fight and fight?

I guess it's natural to want to give up
drinking from the bitter cup

Holding on just by a thread
This one is heavy, like solid lead

My back is arched, My heart is aching
My mind is full, My joy it's taking

When oh God do I get some peace
When will you grant pains release?

I have fallen so much, that my soul is bruised
By heavy stones I have been used

I have been lifted by the clouds
As I search for freedom, I scream out loud

Temptation is there for me
Tip my hat, turn my face, now I am free

Gone into a place so sound
Finally peace and freedom is found

I say goodbye to turmoil and strife
I say goodbye to human life

Turn my back on hate and confusion
I leave behind the happy illusion

Turn my head and walk away
What will be the words they say

She was weak, not strong at all
She couldn't reach, it was too tall

She was good, and she was kind
She must have needed a better mind

We'll miss her for a while
But then we'll move on
We will wake to a brand new dawn

Legacy for her, what will it be
To understand what its like to be free
