Heart of a sad, sad day for me, as clicking on gray, dark clouds filled to saturation, my tears overflow. I cry silently for help that does not seem to get there. A small ray of sunshine will lift the burden of pain that threatens to inundate my soul sad. Oh, from storm to a part sufficient to allow the brightness of lightning on me. Help me, please, help me bear this heavy burden pressing on my mind bloated tired. Please give me the only relief that you have brought.
