Benevolence
Whether I choose the status quo,
Whether I determine to let go,
Offer me compassion,
I accept with open arms,
Calm my silent desperation,
Comfort my tethered heart,
Steady my trembling hand -
It’s not an action I take lightly,
But with a heaviness of soul,
Not an encumbrance thrust upon me,
But a choice I beg to make,
I plead benevolence enfold me,
So that I don’t die alone.
