Something I needed to write

Thank You For

I look into the mirror
And stare into my eyes,
And all I see within their depths
Is emptiness and lies.
But it makes no difference at all
Because it can't begin to compare
To the pain dwelling deep inside -
Pain that makes me feel cold and bare.
The spirit I once had in me,
Is gone and won't come back
But there's no one to blame but me
For this invited attack.
This world I can no longer face
The grief and shame are too much to bear
I can't handle these feelings anymore -
So I'm just going to stop trying to care.
All this I say to you
With tears in my eyes and a shattered soul
I thank yoiu for the emptiness and pain
And when you're done with it -
Could you give back the pride, faith, and hope of love that you stole.
