Helpless once more- helpless again
With a mind circling the drain. Tittering where I’ve been before— At the door to the tubes décor. The pipe of life carrying me This time into a brackish sea, The sea that flows from swollen eyes, The sea that carries my demise Flows uncontrolled within my low, The sea in which I am the foe, The foe of things I truly know. As in my mind, I form the lie That I’m alone- without ally. I flow in doubt of what is real Thinking that time will never heal The pain I claim as only mine, The pain that started my decline. My brain tells me the time will pass As I’m clutching the ring of brass— The ring that leads into the hole, Into the darkness of my soul, Into the drain all wet and dark As my mind tries to hold its spark. It seems easier to let go And let my mind flow deep below, To fall so deep and not comeback To become part of the plaque That formed from life- a life of lack. But now a hand grabs for my wrist And lifts me up with its insist. My tears are dried by Endeavor— Endeavor speaks and says, “Never.”
