Surrender
Time seems to of stopped for me
Swirling around in a falling dance
Can't catch myself as i drift down
My mind asking why I should even try
I feel myself surrendering
To the pain, to the hurt, to the sorrow
Abandoning all that weighs on me
Forgetting to feel - as grief sets in
My heart is sinking
My breath comes light
My head is swirling
As I surrender....
Living hard has taken a toll on me
Some where I lost a sense of myself
The panic set in as i tried to find my way
Tired and lost for so very long..
Allowing the tears to fall
Staining a weary cheek
Feeling the cry of the struggle
Slowly welling up inside of me
No...
This cannot be how it ends
I did not struggle this hard.... to rush to the end of the road
I will not rest my fight..... I will not give in
I will never... surrender
