And every now and then

by Vicki Higgins - Cancer

I was a wreck,
Almost a broken shell,
And then i became me.
But every now and then
I go back again.

It's an empty feeling,
Helplessness.
Suffocation, and at the same time
Love, life and happiness.

I go to bed with tears in my eyes
And wake up with no sadness.
But still, it's there,
The sleep doesnt make it go away.

Why do i feel trapped?
I got what i wanted.
The rough with the smooth?
OK,
But every now and then
I feel it again.
