The Problem

My mind is filled with dark despair

For their has been a death

Within myself I have lost

A problem I have kept

The problem was a friend to me

It made me feel alive

And since it’s gone I surely feel

That part of me hath died

What is this place I see within

This body I call mine

Is it a place, is it a place

Where warmth and calm doth lie

Have I been shown the ways of hope

By someone from above

A second chance to search inside

To learn and trust through love

And does that someone lie within

A kind and gentle man

Who picked me up and held me close

Then put me down again

So grateful for life can be amazing

If you follow the right lead
