When
all seems so grey
This
very day
This
heart so raw, wanting to claw
It’s
bleeding, weeping
Right
through my very soul
Grey,
grey, weeping willow
Now
there is no colour
The
bleakness, the darkness
I
just feel like running away
From
the grey, grey day!
Shivering,
quivering trembling
These
nerves cannot take much more
This
child needs to be held once more
This
woman needs your tender hug
That
reassuring one that means so much
Nothing
is consistent but oh so persistent
Where
there was once courage
Now
it seems like discourage
The wind which was a friend
Whispering softly, gently
all will come to an end
Is so distant, a mirage in
my mind
When does this end? And once
again a friend!
Daunted, haunted, how dare
it be flaunted?
How
dare it be disheartened!
You
will never know the feeling
The
dejection, rejection, I’m watching the reflection
Not
mine but yours!
Judge
and jury pronouncing judgement
On only what you see and
hear
Time and time will be mine
in years to come
But this is my time for
reflection,
No dejection, rejection
