Overwhelmed

by Beth - Scorpio

You had it all, it broke apart
now you're filled with pain
Nothing to drive you on
no hope, no spark, no flame

No one to hold you now
when the world gets dark
hiding inside yourself
drowning in your bleeding heart

I could tell you but you already know
this is not the way
You ignore the words
you've gone too far away

No one can tell you 
exactly what you have gotta be
You've got to face this life
on your own two feet

Pick yourself up
wipe the tears from your eyes
You gotta stand your ground
and fight to save your life

Sometimes the world 
seems so dark and cold
Sometimes you turn around 
and find yourself alone

Never mind the ghosts that taunt
they will disappear
But only when you find the stregnth
to face and conquer your fears
