Autumn of Life

When it is nearly over When the pain is gone When the lies and anger ceases And winter is my friend 'I watch as he destroys the one I leave behind no power left inside And winter takes a hold He ruined my self respect He ruined my childrens lives The anger and the tantrums Are frozen now in time Hurting and then the sorrow The shouting and the pain The lies and lies and lies Winter at its worst Emptiness surrounds me And walls I build to keep My sanity is fading and I know I am on the brink Of losing my existence and will to fight the foe When I finally have the courage To walk away and say I will not be bullied and I will not lay down and die Is when the spring will melt away all the hurt of winter time
