Put it to Rest

Deana Marshall (Baconator)
Here's what it is in a nutshell..

too old to feel so young

yet feel to young to be old

Time to throw in the towel,

put it to rest...

nothing works out for the best..

that line is a bunch of crap...

Start to feel alive again..

feel some ground under foot

not much,

but not as grave deep

Life takes its turn

and craps again...

welcome to my world

in the depths of hell

Repeat the cycle

time and again

girl can just take so much

before it's the end.

What is that shiny thing laying there?

sweet endings..

powerful yet tiny..

the cycle breaker no doubt

Is this what it has come to?

This life as they call it..

a cycle breaker?

done only through demise?

Getting tougher by the day

to crawl to arise

too old to care

to young to die

Despair you question?

Yeah, have plenty to share..

Do you want a handful?

here, take some more, I like to share...

Reality is just what it is..

yours mine theirs...

to hell with reality

just want a break..

stop the f'ing cycle

I just want some air

don't have to be rich

just want to be square

don't need a superhero

don't need no kings

don't want the player

don't want the depends

want the solid

want the real

want the attraction

want the lifetime

but the cycle keeps busting me

knocking me down

testing my will

to close to winning its unreal...

don't want to call it quits

throw in the towel

but there is only so much

even the strong can endure

escape is what I seek

for a moment in time will not do

I want to break free

from this unrelenting demise

    When I was young I was afraid I was going to die, now I am afraid I am going to live.
    So much for pain eventual pain just gets boring then you get over it.

    I hear you - I've had a broken rib, broken foot, death and arguments in the family all within 6 months. I too feel physically like crap a lot of days on first waking up. My hope, my faith all goes into getting with the Lord early in the morning. The day goes much better after that.

    Now I wish I would have sent that as a private message! Oops.

    Very nice job here- this really talked to me. I don't get how so much can go wrong so often and I'm tired of pretending to be happy and giving myself daily pep talks.
