Slipping

I don't want to die and threw life away

But it takes every bit of surplus to stay

It's devastating having a hurting soul

In life sadness has always had a role

Hope slides out of my hand, slipping

Trying to find what could be missing

River has run dry, no water in sight

Wanting light, in the darkest night

Is this from me being sad too long

I made a mistake of playing along

Roots are broken under this tree

Life literally stole the life inside me
