Sadness

Sadness crouching at my door
Clouding my vision
Dulling my senses
I can't take it any more.

Will this darkness ever leave?
Will my heart cease to bleed?
Will I see the light of day?
Will I survive come what may?

My sadness builds a wall around me
Makes me say, "just let me be"

Sadness crouching at my door
Clouding my vision
Dulling my senses
I can't take it anymore.

Will this madness disappear?
Will my life ever be clear?
Will I see the rays of the sun?
Will my feet stand still or just run?

No, I refuse to let sadness crouch at my door
I will stand tall forever more

My sadness will not keep me down or
Make me say, "just turn around"
My sadness will make me strong you see
Make me be the person I'm meant to be

I will stand up once again
Strong and fierce as I've ever been
When I feel sadness crouching at my door
I'll push it aside and say NO MORE

When I feel my hope is gone
I'll tell myself no way - your wrong
I will know my faith is sure and
That its been there all along

Nudging me and helping through
When I didn't really know what to do
Building in me a love that survives
All life's sadness and nose dives

Helping me feel more secure
Feeding my soul with thoughts that are pure
Encouraging me to find my place in this land
Giving me the fight to take my stand

So, when sadness crouches at my door
Clouding my vision
Dulling my senses
I just wont take it any more.

I like the flow of this piece, and the use of repetition gives the right impact. Great reminder too, to not let sorrow overtake our soul. Good job!
