At wit’s end, secretly I stuff down cookies, candy and cake.
At wit’s end, I step on the gas without a care.
At wit’s end, one night can’t be considered an affair.
At wit’s end I pace, leaving deep grooves in the floor.
At wit’s end, from my lips the curse words pour.
At wit’s end, my mind races a mile-per-minute.
At wit’s end, shopping store-to-store, I yell, “charge it.”
At wit’s end my fists shake searching for something to crush.
At wit’s end, over drinking hardly makes me a lush.
At wit’s end, daily, I smile and say “I’m fine;”
At wit’s end, ulcers and migraines will surface in time.
At wit’s end I smoke like a dammed chimney;
At wit’s end, cigarettes or pot; either suits me.
At wit’s end I crawl in a corner desperate to hide;
At wit’s end, to my feelings I’m bound and tied.
At wit’s end I plunge in the needle and cry;
At wit’s end, why won’t anything satisfy?
At wit’s end I only see trouble and strife;
At wit’s end, there’s no meaning to life!
At wit’s end I peer over the murky edge;
At wit’s end, any second, I’ll leap from this ledge.
Why did I arrive at wit’s end?
How can I survive at wit’s end?
At wit’s end, life’s problems overwhelm me.
Thanks be to God; He gives me a new destiny.
At wit’s end, anger, eating, shopping, smoking seems the only way.
Thanks be to God; Instead to Jesus I can pray.
Thanks be to God for His incredible gift.
Thanks be to God for saving me from this emotional pit!
Thanks be to God; Jesus gives my life purpose and hope;
Thanks be to God; He provides a new way to cope.
Thanks be to God; He’s in control when my emotions roam;
Thanks be to God, wit’s end is not my home!
