Christmas Cheer

Christmas

Joy to the world

God rest ye merry gentlemen...

God, rest me, too.

Give me life

And peace of mind

And the courage to go on

Or the courage to give up.

Give me strength to face each day

To face each aunt

Each grandparent

To face each fear.

Give me trust

Because, by golly,

Everyone that I used to love

Trust

Believe in...

They've left me

High and dry.

No wonder I have no hope

No wonder I have no choice.

I left it in Montandon.

I left it in West Milton...

He stole it away to Tennessee

She took it to Delaware

And now there's none left in Pennsylvania.

The only thing that's here

Is pain

Doubt

Fear

And faithlessness.

People who hug me

People who say they love me

But they harbor runaways -

People who run away with my heart.

And I hate it.

And at this time

When all is "merry and bright"

I am simply dreary

Weary of my plight.

And I ask again

Why am I here?

Why do I live?

God, why do you torment me so

With endless heartbreaks

Fears

And lost hope.

So, I say to you all

Merry Christmas

Happy New Year

May it be cheerful

Colorful

Hopeful

Fun...

I pray that I don't die of a broken heart

Before I get to see it.
