The Dark Lonely Road

I have been down a road

A cold lonely road

Where there’s no other soul

And you find yourself all alone

Down that dark lonely road!

You feel you’re loosing your mind

And all you want to do is hide

But then there’s nowhere to go

From all this is happening in your mind

And no one knows what going on inside

You stand there and smile 

As if there’s nothing wrong outside

Though you’re in denial

Cause you want to seem normal outside

Though you’re dying a million death inside 

All you want to do is cry

Cause the pain you feel inside

Is eating you inside

Burning you, consuming you

Sending searing pain through your being

You just want to close your eyes and let go

To drift off to eternal sleep

Drifting down an abyss of no return

The world can be unkind

And turn a blind eye

Even though it may know

The pain you feel inside

May call you names and make fun of you

Labels you and trying your patience 

Making you feel like it revels 

In seeing you cry 

Leaving you broken, wounded, bleeding

But then the world is not always cruel

And will not always treat you a fool

Cause there are those who are kind

And try beyond the act you put on outside

They will make sure your never left behind 

Or all by yourself all alone

Remember after night comes day

Form darkness comes light

Cause there can’t be darkness all the time

At some point you’ll see the light

To banish all the dark that you feel inside

So don’t loose hope

You can never loose hope

There’s so much to live for 

There’s so much to give

So don’t ever give up 

You can never give up

Though you maybe tired and frustrated 

And the things don’t seem to go your way

But for every wrong can’t make right

And there’s going to be time 

When life will get it right

So don’t loose faith 

Cause good things will come your way

If you just hold on a little longer

Have a little faith

Help will always come 

To the ones who need it the  most

So just reach out and take that hand

That’s reaching out to you 

To pull you out of the mire 

You find yourself caught in 

Who throws you a lifeline 

When you feel that life 

will swallow you whole

You don’t have to go alone

There’s someone out there  for you

So you just have to reach out 

And take that hand

Acknowledge the pain you feel

You don’t have to hide it

You don’t have to fight it

You don’t have to feel 

Ostracised because of it

Believe, have faith

You cannot give in

You can never give in

There’s so much to live

So you can’t give up on it

Cause no matter how hopeless

You’ll always find a way

So believe and stand strong 

Cause you’ll make it through

Both you and I!
