Walk A Mile

With each breath I take I fade.
My body weak and tired from the pain.
My mind unable to clearly think.
Depression looms, it’s on the brink.
So many thoughts always a fight.
Never knowing what is right.
Every little thing gets on my nerves.
Fight after fight nothing serves.
A love so good, yet causes pain.
Decisions, tears fall like rain.
Stay or go I no longer care.
The treatment wrong, nothing fair.
The stress too much for me now.
My health unable to further allow.
Too many meds, too much time.
I try my best, try to climb.
I want to love, I want to smile.
Take my shoes, walk a mile.
