Holding Fast

by Karen Simpson   Apr 21, 2006


Yesterday when you saw me in wiping away tears
Not one person has seen my cry, for years
You asked me what made me cry that day
But I couldnt tell you what I wanted to say

It wasnt that something was really all that wrong
But my depression was just so freaking strong
I dont actually know anymore if Im doing ok
I dont know anymore what will happen the coming day

My thoughts start to soar, but I hide my fears
But after awhile, I tire of holding my tears
What is wrong with me now, that causes such pain
I am supposed to be strong, without any shame

My time reel keeps moving, the roll growing tight
While I hold fast and strong, with all of my might
I have to keep trying, to reach for my goal
I will not give up, and allow Satan to have my soul
