Ode of I

 

Ode of I

 

Weary am I now

for this thing called life has not been kind

weary am i now

I'm about to lose my mind

 

Troubled am I now

so burdened down by thought

troubled am I now

This battle to survive, no longer can it be fought

 

pained am I now

bye malicious, calculated actions

pained am I now

cornered by my fears, stunned by my reactions

 

escape for me now

would bring about welcome release

escape for me now

would bring about much needed inner peace

 

Scared am I now

for control is rapidly slipping

scared am I now

this fear within seeping slowly through, brutally crippling

 

Hopeless am I now

all resources drained

Hopeless am I now

oh please! Help me, from faith i have abstained

 

angry am I now

at all that surrounds me

angry am I now

for of struggle and pain I am seldom free

 

Lost am I now

left with nowhere to turn

lost am I now

Oh how these tears have started to burn

 

Defeated am I now

for I have fought till I can no more

defeated am I now

my courage has failed me, disappeared through the door

 

weary am I now

I beg for inner strength to return, to once again flow

weary am I now

for if strength does not return, straight to hell is where I'll go.

May the sun break through the clouds

Hello Feebie This is a very moving piece. It reads like an agonised chant. I don't think it would be suitable to critique it a this point, it reflects an anguished heart too vividly. I sincerely hope you yourself are in a better state of mind than the speaker in the poem. I wish you all strength. Kind regards De Waal

I pause for this Ode...

....Fair Fairy to fly into a storm is hard enough but to be tossed into one when your wings are wet and with flight you struggle I offer you a pocket in which to seek travel through your trial land...that you may have the strenght when you arrive to tame the monolicic Iron Golom. Kind Regards, David ps May your chocolate supply never dwindle.

Feebie...

..I would invite you to fly high above the storm... ..but, up there it's way too warm... ..for your chocolate... ..and you shouldn't travel at all... ..without it... ..for, the last time I flew up above the storm... ..they gave me... ..peanuts... ..and they're just not the same. ..great coverage of the feeling called, "despair"! docmaverick.
