There Were Time Like This

There were times like this when I felt like I wanted to drown – 

Wanted the world to go away and not come back for another

Day, or hear people say, hey, what is going on? Where do 

These thoughts come from? And why do they never go 

Away? They stay in the mind, so it seems. But why can’t

They just vanish and leave me in peace? For a little while at

Least.

But I will carry on and keep my mind positive. That is

The only thing I can do, and I hope you can too? And

Then one-day happiness will come. And hope will

Follow soon. Yes, it is true – because you know that

I’d never lie to you!
