Lurking

This feeling inside
Won’t go away
eating me alive
day after day!

I wish it gone

It never works

happy thoughts,

it always lurks!

The pain’s just there

Fighting to stay

take my last breath

And have it’s way!

I try and I try
It never ends

Wanna give up

made my amends

forgive my weakness

all outta breath

Not much longer

til I greet death!
