A friendly companion..

  What can you do when your times running out?
When you have no choices you begin to doubt.

When all you see seems dark and grey
And the light of hope is so far away

You make a choice and you know its right
The outcome of which is not in sight

When times get tough and all is wrong
It takes all you got to drudge along

And the words you say they dont seem right
to express the feelings you try to fight

When a friendly word can cut like steel
you cant decide how it makes you feel

Trying to swim but the waters are rough
and staying afloat just isnt enough

And all these things keep piling on top
You simply wish that it all would stop

    And you choke down the waters
    to avoid suffocation
    Then you find a friend
    from the HatedNation!

    I can understand the emotions that “uncertainty” brings to someone’s life. You have portrayed those feelings so well. I would stay the best thing in such times is to hang on, stay hopeful and positive.
