Lake of Tears

I battle everyday

with myself, family and friends.

It hurts so much

to admit something is wrong.

It's hard to ask for help

when I don't want anyone to know

everything I've been going through.

I've thought about it...

the easy way out of my situations.

I just don't think I can handle the blood

that might invite death along for the ride.

I try and try to change everything!

But I just can't...

My strength is no more.

I try to imprison my emotions.

But it's too late...

For I am now surrounded

by a lake of tears.
