Unravelling

My life is fragmenting and falling apart,

The joy that I once felt has gone from my heart,

I feel like I'm caught in a spiral of gloom,

That's keeping me trapped in this godawful room,

My friends and acquaintances drift along by,

They wave as they go as I sit here and sigh,

Another full day and another dark night,

I'm trapped and I'm screaming with no end in sight,

My only escape are the words on this page,

As they hold the key to escape from this cage,

But what to do next I regret I know not,

Save sit and await for that fatal slip knot,

So please shine your light and come show me the way,

I just need a lift so I don't go astray,

This road is so hard and I so need a friend,

And if I don't fine one I fear it's the end.
