Quiet Desperation
I can’t breath, dear God, I can’t breath
My life stumbles head down today
I feel shaken, heavy, and in dismay
What have I done to get this punishment?
I can’t eat, dear Lord, I can’t swallow
Ten million bricks lay in my tired soul
What was it that I should be doing
Just tell me and it shall be done!
I can’t sleep, dear God, I need to sleep
My eyes are tired, but afraid to shut
Another day comes, a new fear develops
This life is turmoil since childhood on end!
I can’t cry, my Lord, no tears are left
My eyes burn and darkness I see
Days and nights, time passes me by
All I have, worries and weight of life
I can’t feel, numb from head to toes
Frozen in time, floating in space
Transparent like dust in the air
Quiet desperation, eating at the soul!

I couldn't smile indeed, but I wasn't left alone. I discovered your blog and forgot my loneliness and sense of personal needlessness here and now.
ReplyDeleteWow, your blog is much better than my Lithuanian-English manages to express
This poem makes me very sad. How can I help you feel better?
ReplyDeleteIcy, I hope you are not really feeling these feelings. If you are then please contact me, okay? This is a heart wrenching poem which displays depression. Though well crafted it is sad and dark. The photo is beautiful. Please take care my friend.
ReplyDeleteSister, I'm sorry to read this heart-wrenching poem. I hope everything goes well for you. May God bless you!!! Take care!
