Descending Faith

They say that sound can travel approximately six thousand metres per second
But what is the use when I open up my mouth and let out a long scream of deep anguish and  nothing but silence comes out?

It has been silenced by the river of low-spirited tears

My mind on the other is going a million miles an hour while I slowly start to sink to the bottom

My whole body starts to feel cold and lifeless
My heart...numb
My mind...empty 

I can vaguely hear His voice pleading not to give up but
I feel that I am done fighting 
Done with pleading 
Done with praying 
Just...done

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
