Down In the Dumps

lifes a little joke but im not laughing
helpless to the things happening
wanting to grow and learn to laugh again
to heal old scars and avoid new bruises
to make new friends and honor old truces
scared to move yet must move on
all lifes story one long sad song
pick up the tempo sad wont work
im sick of depression sick of hurt
sick of pain and being double crossed
sick of striving for my memories lost
nothings for real unless you see it
words useless unless you mean it
sat for so long writing sad poems
scared of who sees or knows them
so happy for everything but not content
wishing to take back messages sent
a lonely kid 18 years young
struggling against the rope he hung
i am the shaken and the distraught
i am rebellious against all things taught
i am loud in silence and quiet on the podium
i am an unbeliever unless i see or hold them
i am the pun to every sad joke
i am wealthy yet emotionally broke
i need an anchor before im lost
i need a faith a book or cross
i need something i cannot find
something held thats only mine
