Broken Tether
my tether has broke
the life I had is over
everything I held on to is gone
the joy I longed for stopped
grabbing reaching for my existence
swallowed breathing now gasping for
it’s over I don’t care anymore
my peasant is in the past
nothing to hold on to
nothing to grasp
all I want is peace
and another chance
I lay face down
praying you will save me
from this life of sorrow
you said you would never
leave me nor forsake me
as I lay I feel your presents
you hold me in your loving arms
a breeze flows through me
just like the first time I received
your gift of life
how can this be ?
you didn’t forget me
I am the child you have always wanted
