Sorrow

it hits you hard, like a bolt
when you least expect it,
crushing you down to the floor
I struggle to make it up
to get back up on my feet
But then the next wave knocks me
tumbling, rolling me over and over
will it ever stop I ask, I plea
tears rolling down my face
I try in vain to get back up
each wave relentlessly knocks me over
pulling me down, down into black despair
will it ever stop, leave me alone, i ask
I so want it too, I need to break free
As I lie on that desolate dark shore
I look around, nothing, nothing at all
just blackness, hell surely can't be worse
and the pain, the heart wrenching relentless pain
tearing at my very soul, I sink down despairingly
will I ever see the sun again, feel its warm rays
live free in its bright light,
on days like this I doubt that I will
my lot, it seems is this stark, dark cold place
