Slowly he does slip
Into madness he will dip,
Rising only for air
He's losing his grip.
Ready for his world to cease
As his problems increase.
Still his life everyday
Has a brand new lease.
Trying not to complain
Makes it hard to sustain.
His joy is forgotten
He stands in the rain.
Without any ease,
He gets on his knees
And asks for forgiveness
Making sure to say "please".
Ready to give it all up,
He fills his cup,
With things on his mind,
He pulls himself up.
Today is a new day;
He's decided to stay
And do the best he can do.
No more running away.
