WHEN SADNESS CONSUMES

January 4, 2013

I needed to see what life was like behind a cloud of sadness, suffering and pain I needed to see what life is like when strangely people search and look for rain I needed to see that though my help is always given true Some people may see me as the enemy, change, they will never follow through It's a strength to learn some people need to be left to all their sorrow For they will drain your energy, theirs is gone, so they will borrow I've said it every way I could, dumbed down, scientific or spiritually in tune But my words went in the one ear, out the other, to the air inside the room It's something I cannot grasp so well, this urge to live in hell How can one be in so much fear, happiness has not one crevice it can dwell Well Jesus said dust your feet off keep going on your path So I'll help the ones who want the help, the rest are out of my grasp
