Sometimes

When your head is spinning with random endless thoughts,

And you can not seem to focus.

You put on a happy mask, it covers the sadness,

Because, sometimes, that's all ya got.

When you wake up in the morning

And are unhappy with the dawn.

Getting up is pointless, but you must continue to act,

Like a character in a play.

You smile a fake smile and perform.

Because, sometimes, that's all ya got.

When there is no magic wand to wave

To take away the pain,

And you wonder why you struggle.

You creep back into the darkness,

Because, sometimes, that's all ya got.

When the mountain that stands before you

Has gotten taller in the night,

And you throw away the climbing gear,

And walk away.

Your head hung in defeat.

Because, sometimes, that's all ya got.

When you are standing at the bottom 

Of what feels like a bottomless pit, 

The light at the end of the tunnel

Is so far out of reach.

And you wonder, will it ever get better?

And you tell yourself it will,

Because, sometimes, that's all ya got.
