A plea

Whole world's gone to hell, Here I sit in jail, Cold floors touch my hands, As tears flow out in strands, God help me please, I'm a product of the breeze, A leaf gone with the flow, Thinking this is where I should go, I did not show Grace but stone, These choices were my own, Pray this isn't too late for me, Please God hear my plea!

Your poem has a raw and emotional quality that makes it compelling. The desperation and regret come through strongly, especially with the imagery of cold floors, flowing tears, and being a drifting leaf with no direction. The contrast between "Grace" and "stone" is particularly powerful, emphasizing the realization of past hardness and mistakes.

Powerful poem Garrett. Hitting rock bottom is tough. That is usually when we cry out to the Lord.
