Desperation

In desperation I cry…

worry and angst overtake my mind…

Tearing apart…piece by piece…

Consumed with guilt and fear…I wallow… I weep…

Anguish is my friend…

Every struggle tightens this rope around me…

Slipping away…I fall…yet again…

Whimpering… I seek…I seek for help…

Will you pull me out of this pit I cower in?

Will you rescue me from this turmoil?

I take one step forward… then one step back…

Humble I come…in desperation… I… cry…
