I look outside
At the world
My mental state
Is shaken
And spirit torn.

I worked so hard
For things throughout my life
Only to have them taken
Out from under my feet.

Why are you letting this happen?
What have I done to deserve this?
I work my hands
To the bone
My body wants to break
And turn to dust
But my will wont allow it

When will you let me eternally rest?
Do you hate me so much
That you enjoy watching me
Suffer in agony?

I find myself outside your house
I know you beckon me
To come in and return home
But I cannot
I am not at peace
Should I enter
The Darkness may rear its head
In protest

Please forgive me
As I walk away.
I do not deserve this life
This soul
But you gave it to me
I know
I am special
And these gifts
You have given me
I appreciate them
I adore them

When my time comes
I will tell you about them
How happy it made me
The strength you gave
The power it took
To get up
And
To brush the dirt off
My soul just
To finally
Come Home.
