A Thousand Pieces

I remember a few years ago
When everything seemed to meke sense
Things were going my way
Nothing could seem to go wrong

A year later things started going downhill
They got hard and confusing
I no longer knew what to do

As the months passed
Happy turned to sad
Sad became despair
I no longer knew who I was

The depression took hold
Captured my heart and my soul
Covering it in a shroud of darkness
And I couldn't find my way out

My journey has been long and hard
Things have gone from bad to worse
I lost myself and no longer know
How to get to the person I once knew

The only thing I have left is my hope
My faith that keeps me running
I need someone to help, to hear my cries
That I scream while I sleep silently
Through the night

For the closed door
To open once more
To see the face that I always knew
Hear the softness of my voice
And feel safe and warm once more

But the road back is hard
So many mistakes that were made
Lessons that I learned
Only to find myself drifting away
Further and further

My cries never heard
Darkness surrounds every corner
Except for the light above
But every time I get close
It drifts away

Never letting me reach
What will it take
To be happy once again?

For life to make sense
For that last piece of the puzzle
To finally fit

Lost in a thousand pieces
What will it take
To put myself back together
Once again?
