give up.

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
