Scared To Reach Out 
Unworthy of love
Influenced By Pain
Confused And Hurt
Impulsive For That Rush
Destructive To life
Empty.

Hell is the space between words
Endless….searching….helplessness
A raging fire seeking kindling
Lest its flame succumb
To hell’s emptiness

Tears fall, silent rain,
Heart aches to heal unseen wounds.
Hands reach, touch the void,
In the dance of shadowed dreams,
Love whispers, yet remains bound....

Row 
Rivers 
Retina 
Through calm currents 
Attribute helplessness inadvertent 
To your idiosyncrasies worded
Truly certain 
Your person
Perfects 
Peace

Death consumes her very life
Festering, slowly it eats her up inside
Darkness surronds her very soul
Helplessness slowly taking control
A way out she desperately seeks
The fading light seemingly out of reach...

The hungry creative seeks a morsel but fails to get
The helplessness and lack of support makes it fret
The one that yearns to succeed seldom gets the floor to tread
The right time, the right care is always to be bred...

I am dying
Every moment
Yearning for your touch
longing for your guiltless love
The potion of loneliness and helplessness fill in
And out of the empty hollow dark chambers
I am dying
Every moment
In and out

I may have no choice but to make these mistakes. 

But I can at least make sure that they only affect me. 

So that even when I give up in seeking help-

At least this burden of helplessness is only on me. 

So that they can go on unbothered....

When the Reaper comes calling at your door
  As you're struggling with chest pains on the floor
    And the angst of helplessness strikes your core
      That's when you realize you could have loved more

There is a story

A story of 1776

Mighty struggles

And what is called

Progress..with limits..

A seeming

Course of events

Rising as memory..

And senses of

Helplessness and

Of hope to

Avoid an ending..

All already This...

He fell so early  from the image to the grime
And lay there, flatly oozing helplessness.
Anger, and something left of love combined,
Plunged to urge him free,
Wiped its hands and set back the idol high, 
Only slightly out of plumb.
The shattering was mine....

Wind, the Barber,
   shears the trees
   decisively
with naught but
   his own  Fall design
   in mind,
Refusing imaged   glass
   for his reluctant clientele,
insisting    they trust
   his ancient  artistry,
Born of  a driven 
   fate again
   and again.

hatred growing
hands tied together 
with the strings of change
helplessness grows from 
within the trapped 
caged need to 
be in control 
lack of control
has caused negative 
emotions to bowl over 
creating an overflowing
flood of responses that 
to have been dealt with
long ago...

Myself

Cold nights 
Violent fights
Helplessness and fears
Sadness and tears
Feeling small
Bowing to all
Never good enough 
Pretending I’m tough
Talking too much
My past as a crutch
Hating myself
My pride on a shelf
Needing approval 
Ego removal 
Coming to grips
Time as it slips...

Oh how I want you to hold me
To let me shed my tears
That have been kept in for so long
But that can't happen

I fear that all between my past
And my future is lost
Helplessness is kicking in
I'm losing myself bit by bit

So forget me
Ignore me
Laugh at me
For all I am is a lost soul...

Staring out at nothing
Feeling blank, cold, crippled physically and emotionally.
Hoping for a brighter tommorrow
Rest is not peaceful if at all
Pain in heart, joints, hands and toes
Everywhere pain
Torn between living and existing
Pain becomes an obsession to control
Ceaseless torment in soul....

Between your truth and mine
Your needs and theirs
Embedded within wanton desires
Coated with your fears and mine
We forget compassion
Lo, we lose love
We get sucked into the chaos
The chaos, the helplessness

Between your truth and mine
I find a gulf of loneliness
A valley of lies that run deep!...

As my eyes dwindled on the first glimpse
helplessness racked a stifled heartbeat.
It was there I set my foundations,
my structure for a hope strong tower 
that would shield you from fates cruel blows.
My love for you was evident,
it seen me through the darkest days.
You held my heart in them searching eyes....

Whenever the darkness surrounds
Me.

When weakness finds me, in this
Moment of sorrow

And the feeling of helplessness
Traps me within my inner self..

Oh God please let your presence
Anoint me..

With the power of your strength

And Love..

Activate my soul….

Tis I will inherit my heavens

Grace…...
