Crippled Soul

Why did you run? Trapped in illusion with doctors and pills Stretched to your mind's limit searching for God A daughter abandoned..love set adrift Consuming books, seeking answers Finding nothing but pages filled with words that confused your thoughts as you split in two You chose a coat of freedom lined with despair to be worn in an empty house on an empty lot, praying Were you heard, when you cried yourself to sleep after water and apples? Growing thinner each gray day, when you talked to your mind as it performed a play You abandoned yourself as you did a life you gave birth Where was the lifeline you could hold, to free yourself from the world sinking around you? They fed you medication for a crippled soul and forgot to listen as you screamed "there's nothing wrong" while losing your grip on the last cliff of reality above the valley of the unknown A life filled with confusion waiting to be heard No one heard..no one came..no prayer answered only death and the lonely pages of scribbled script that quietly diminished with the hollow feeling that you should have been saved by someone 5/26/17 contest God Knows Where I Am
