Give Me A Break
Your attitude is breaking me,
How much am I to take?
I cannot stand another fight,
Another word of hate.
I listen and I ponder but
I cannot find a clue,
That helps me to uncover
Just what eats away at you.
It rushes down like lightening bolts,
And hits me with a crash;
The words are twisted 'round about,
The same again, re-hashed.
We've all had crosses that we bear,
We've all had times of strife,
But why must we re-live again,
Your bitterness in life?
I want to be at peace within,
I want to heal and grow,
But how can we move forward when
You will not let it go?
One moment I hear words of praise,
The next I'm torn to shreds,
Why is it that it's always me,
Who's left to make amends?
The anger that evolves from you,
Is paranoid at best,
It ravages the all of you,
And puts us to the test.
The world is not against you,
Life is what we make of it,
And if you can't control your thoughts,
You'll lose yourself in it.
I'm begging you, let down your guard,
Let peacefulness prevail,
For I can't take much more of this,
I'm tired ... I'm weak ... I'm frail.
