S O S

I just have to keep walking,
I am tired and sun's set,
It's dark and I am lost,
But I cannot rest my feet,
Lay back awhile and breathe easy
Or ask someone my way home.

When did I go astray?
Was I young and naïve,
Or stupid, whimsical and rowdy?
Wasting time in vain pursuits;
Now, too late to regret.

So I will walk
Until to the end --
Where will it end?
I just not know.

Who to call?
Who will help...
Other than God?

Oh God,
I beseech,

HELP!

Congrats on your win, Abdul. A few lines were awkward but generally this poem had a very good theme and I love how you used symbolism. Congrats in my contest.
