My Anguish

I feel a heavy weight of despair,
Crushing my chest; Where is the air?
Fear is rising from the pit of my gut,
It's all too much; feeling so rough.

I choke and sob like the rising tide,
I can't control it nor can I just hide.
The sadness overwhelms as anxiety peaks,
This is so horrible; I feel like a freak.

Why do I have to suffer in mental anguish,
I feel like an animal caught in a huge net.
I've been so sad for the last several years,
I've cried buckets and buckets of sad tears.

When does the mourning or crying ever stop,
I can't continue to live hiding under a rock.
I get so depressed I don't want to try to live,
The water runs out of me like a gigantic sieve.

I beg and plead for God to answer my prayers,
When I look for him it feels like he is nowhere.
I know I used to think that life couldn't so cruel,
Living that fallacy made me feel like a darn fool.
