Helpless Enough

lLving blessed Forgive Forget Ready Set Live to die Dying to live Tired of taking The wall will not give Not so sad Im helpless too Alone Driven Gone Leave me be To be what Left me to die Crawling from the fire Hesitating breathing Knowing what's coming Last four hours Lost 4 days Heart still beating Red blood red Nothing but emptiness Empty old bed Commonplace Common thread Gone without Having plenty Every dollar Every penny Worldly riches Better off broke Mirror shattered Out of smoke Dull and numb The pain still gets through Hollow Empty Alone Before Now a whisperer No longer a roar Weeping sobbing Tears on the floor Awakened Enlightened Crying no more Hopeless and hurting Anger hides the pain Caught with nowhere to go Out in the rain Dreaming is pointless Awake most of the time Tattered and weary Holding the hand of time
