Brenda Harper

Silently she sat there
All torn apart and crushed
Life filled with sorrow
The burden had been too much
...

She flew out of the sky,
An angel in despair.
Her wings had been broken,
she crashed through the air.
...

I asked the angel why had you fallen?
He replied, because i wanted more.
You had such a lovely life,
why would you throw it out the door?
...

A room
off on its own,
Laughing children, throwing stones,
Teasing times, heartbreak chimes,
...

My mind fills with fear,
No trust standing near.
Painful memories true,
They haunt and shatter through.
...

Angel of mercy,
please be with me.
My hearts been all broken,
and shattered you see.
...

My fears took control
Disaster was in the air
I had no-where to run
I was already there
...

My mind is often muffled,
confusion always near,
everything's impossible,
everything's unclear.
...

Too much too little too late
Alone went the mouse down past the gate
Running as fast as he could
Trying to find a place that was good
...

Sadness within me
It is seeping through my veins
And engulfing my soul
My eyes grow weary
...

Be still my mind
The weariness might show
Whatever you do
Don’t let them know
...

What was once will never be
Time has taken that away from me
Life has moved forward true
Now I am lost without you
...

Through a clowns eyes I see
He is not as happy as you may think.
He smiles and laughs all awhile he cries and dies
His tears are where no one can see, maybe just me.
...

I think of you and all you went through
And wonder where was I
I wish I could say
I was by your side all the way
...

A pill to set me free
A pill to make me
Me
A pill to ease my pain
...

Set me free
Lies or trouble
That may be found
Adults do lie
...

And she cried and she cried
Until she could not cry no more
Her eyes were all red
Her lids were all sore
...

And the darkness was here
Awakening my fear
Holding to what I may
Fearing the night away
...

I am scared
They are back
The voices so clear
As a matter of fact
...

As I held back the tears that long weary day
Silently I pray, at the end of the day
Waiting to be alone, not at work but at home
I let the tears be free
...
