That's Just Not Me

by I Seem to be the Heartless   Apr 16, 2008


They tell me to keep holding on.
Keep encouraging me to stay strong.
But it's not that easy, you see,
Being strong just isn't me.
I have failed myself in so many ways.
There are times I sit and cry for days.
I wish I knew how to get out of this hole.
Wish there was a way to soothe my soul.
But the pain is unbearable, so painful, so raw,
Why won't it leave me, let me walk out the door?
But still they tell me to keep holding on,
Keep encouraging me to stay strong.
But it just isn't in me, can you not see,
Because living in the dark is where I long to be...
