Light Of Life Poem by Jared Bradford

In this light of life
I can't seem to be positive
When i'm on the brink
My thoughts just rob of it

My food has no taste
Anxiety stuck to me like paste
Everywhere I go, everything I see
It's always robbing me

Wish it was old news
Like yesterdays paper
Just evaporate away
Or diffuse like water vapor

Maybe it will never end
Maybe maybe is the wrong word
I just want to know for sure
But my vision is blurred

Feeling like a slow snail
The world's my salt shaker
Down with the economy
Down like an auto-maker

I lived a great dream
And woke up to a nightmare
Feeling like going to a cave
Hibernate with like a black bear

Just put me to sleep
But no i've got to dig deep
Where it's the darkest night
To pull out my light of life
