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
