Give Me Hope

Alone in a world of darkness and pain

The world there outside, I don't see the rain

Is the sun shining brightly? I really don't know

There's no place to turn and nowhere to go

‍

Moments of madness can quickly turn bad

Anger, frustration and a need to feel sad

Tears fill my eyes, my emptiness exposed

Thoughts are with loved ones that I long to hold

‍

Time here is volatile, no longer my own

A drive to the shops, or a chat on the phone

No longer a privilege in what I say or do

My life is so fragile, in how time sees me through

‍

My two grandchildren, I just long to see

Wanting to hug them and hold them to me

I'm angry inside and I feel such pain

My emotions run high again and again

‍

Someone please help me, it's getting harder to cope

Dear Lord up above, please give me some hope

Free me from this torment and show me the light

I'm broken, I'm battered, no more can I fight
