THE DROP-OFF BOX

Life

Is this the day that I will find,
the answer for my life?
The day that I have longed for;
to end this pain and strife.

What can I do to change it?
What do I need to do?
How do I go about it?
I'm tired of feeling blue.

A life is what I long for.
Is that too much to ask?
Like people living day by day,
is happiness too large a task?

I hold a little flicker of hope,
somewhere, deep inside.
I'll fan that flame; it has to burn!
If it leaves...I will have died.

Tomorrow is another day.
Perhaps the day I long for...
when life begins to make some sense,
and l walk through life's door.

When it comes, it'll be grand,
to share what I have to give.
I'll join again, the human race...
and begin again to live!
