Just for a second

Crawling on my hands and knees
This pain I can no longer bare
I'm so tired of pleasing you 24/7
I just need to lay down and rest for a second

I'm bumping into walls losing my balance
Hoping someone will save me
From this torture that I am going through
I'm falling slowly, slowly losing my head

Up and down those steep stairs
I'm no longer fit, my bones are on show to you
I'm sweeping at your feet and you want more
I'm losing breathe and my heart screams

Next I will wash the floor kneeling on blistered knees
Scrubbing walls with dry, cut hands
I'm losing all faith and hope
I lay down for a second and I moan in pain

I know it's not long so I close my eyes tightly
I get comfy and rest my aching head
Just for a second dad, just for a second
I feel my organs shut down I pray on last time

"Thank you for God for letting me rest before I go,
Thank you God for hearing my many prayers
I wanted to be strong but my body is tired
Thank you God for letting me die in peace"
