My Reservation

When depression takes over... I make this reservation to reset...a lyrical poem

I have a place in my life that's reserved for only me
It's a place I'd like to go to where no one else can see
The pain, the worry, the struggle that haunts me every day
And try to understand why it hurts in every way

When I go to this place I know I'm safe but not so free
From all the pain and torment that is caused by only me
I try to fix the worry and I try to heal the pain
I'm caught in my own struggle like a dancer in the rain

This darkness is familiar to many so I'm told
Where we sit among the ruins of our life which once was gold
Some people say I'm guarded and some would say I'm deep
When I go to this place I pray to God my soul to keep

It's not an invitation to this journey I reveal
It's just to let you all know that this place I go is real
So don't you fret or worry, I'll be back again one day
To share the joy and love I have for you along the way

So be careful what you wish for
when your life has lost its glue...
'Cause it's a reservation that I wouldn't wish on you
