Pleading
An original poem.
All around, everything is a mess.
I’m needing some help…I must confess.
I don’t know where to begin, tell me where I should start.
All I know is that life is tearing me apart
In deep waters, struggling to stand
Pull me to shore, pull me to land.
Trying o stay afloat — gasping for air
Does anyone see? Does anyone care?
These things I keep pushing further away
are getting harder to ignore every day
Building everything up inside…
it will carry me away like an ocean tide.
Attempting to find comfort in all the wrong things
in the end, the sadness always stings.
What’s haunting me is my past
praying but my faith’s fading fast.
Desperate for a break from the pain —
right now, I just want to shut off my brain.
I’m not asking for the hardships to cease
God, just help me find some peace
just a way to deal with this all…
because I’m starting to fall.
Peace is the one thing I’m desperately needing
God, help me, I’m on my knees…I’m pleading.
