Merry-Go-Round

23 April 2018 by Stephanie Verk

Air raid from every angle, battlefield on all sides
It seems attacks are on, everything that my heart finds.
A heart once full of sunshine, rainbows and innocence
Now holds together with duck tape, glue and a sad stitch.
My heart still beats with little cracks, pieces chipped and shattered
This merry-go-round of insanity, it just keeps going round and round
How many more stones must I carry, before I am totally drowned
I dream of a utopia, even a mirage in the desert will do
a drink of water please to cure the incurable thirst.
I wish I knew the destination, I wish I knew the master plan
I tell myself to take a breath, and try to place no blame
Do not look back, do not regret, this is the challenge here
I learn one more step, thats all that I need, then one more to build some strength
To carry on when all seems lost, and live each day with hope and grace
