Because I'M Scared

Because it rain with heavy drops Because no sun bright enough Because fear takes over Crying in the dark alone Heart on the floor All is in fragments Wind twirling Mind blowing Soundless Fading Vanish Picture less... Where have you gone Sightless in the dark Crying in the dark Reaching Begging Hopeless is doom Mother of nature aid me Light of the sky guide me God of creatures and living help me My heart please stay with me Weep no more calm me down Fear no more love me true Hurt no more embrace me anew... Because I'm scared... Smile! Written by; Akkina R Downing

This is quite an emotional prayer, Akkina. When all odds appear to be against us, instinctively we turn to heaven for help. ~ warm regards // paul

Kina, what a mind-blowing write. Such beautiful and intimate heartrending pleas that I want to answer along with God and Mother of Nature. A powerful, sadly emotional poem that dances with a delicate rhythm and graceful imagery. Love it! Warmest wishes my creative and wonderful friend ~Susan
