I wake up and keep my eyes closed
I don’t want to have to open them to a new day
I don’t want to have to see that there is no sun shining
Only rain and mist
Theres a shower of gloom pouring down on me and it seems to follow me daily
I cant get out of this sadness
Cant block it out at all
Feels like I am trapped by four walls
I cant run away from what my life has become
And I cant act like someone new
Emotions explore me
And explode momentarily
Im riding a roller coaster built for one
I wish I could find a way to cover up my shame
Pull a curtain over my guilt
But there is no way
So I have to keep my eyes closed
And live through the day

There's nothing like a good fight with a horse to put your problems into perspective
