Like a row of falling dominos

by Chelsey   Nov 15, 2006


*collab with Angela! She started and I wrote every other stanza there after*

Days are long and lonely
Thoughts race through my mind
Makes it hard to sleep at night
Tears on my pillow you will find

It's always one thing after another
I have no spare minute to even rest
I just hear words shouted full of hatred
It rips and tears at my chest

One minute all is well
The next it goes haywire
Depression trying to settle in
Anxiety running like a wild fire

My family is falling to shreds
Hospitals are full with our last name
Sometimes when I talk to God
I ask, "What's the point of this game?"

I'm trying to be strong
For all those that I love
But some days it's hard
And I need that little shove

Like a row of falling dominos
Tears stream down my rosey cheeks
I know not to give up in life
But I haven't been myself for many weeks

So I'm praying once again
Asking for support
Waiting to be comforted
As those dominos I sort

Piecing my life back together
No longer falling down
Perhaps with an ounce of hope in my heart
Things will start to turn around

    Chelz, it was wonderful to write with you again. I know this was hard for the two of us to do, but I also think it was a bit of a healing process too. You'll always be in my thoughts and prayers and in my heart too. Give me a shout when you're ready to write another. I love ya!! Angela
