somber room filled deep in silence
earth is shattered over head
quiet secrets sat in stillness
while my tears flow on the bed
cluttered mind and clouded spirit
sucked my life from inside
unknown feelings that cannot fit
all the things i'm trying to hide
motioning to leave my prison
walking ghost like through the hall
hearing nothing when i listen
battered lungs taking my all
falling slowly in attempt to
find a way to come alive
hoping prayer will lead me to do
what i couldn't in my pride
take the burdens, take the aching
take the things i cannot fix
take the callous, take the shaking
show me how give up this
