Rescue

So many faces pressing in Demands increasingly unsettling their needs so vast and loud a cacophony of voices around. Persistent pleas urgently decreed so much despair not pausing for air Drowning in their sorrow I can't- turn away these souls reaching for hands. See me now! Hear my call! No other option I embrace them all. Sinking in these turbulent waves.. Searching for grounds high enough to save... Me! Who could hold this many? To drag to shore their burdens so vast-I scream- I need- I flee to those mountains of peace High on these peaks I weep... For the weight of responsibility I feared to keep.

How the weight upon our heart should strengthen us beyond any trials. Yet, we are human and can only take so much. Sometimes the best strength to have, is knowing what your limits are. This hit hard. Excellent job!
