There is a force that drives my being <br />Stronger than any I have ever seen <br />A force so intense, I can’t resist <br />It haunts me, as it whirls and twist <br />My mind finds no peace <br />The pains in my heart never cease <br />For I fight the force <br />Not sure of its source <br />Alone I face the powerful phenomenon <br />Thinking so hard I become numb <br />Fighting a battle, never to be won <br />Wanting answers, I fervently seek <br />The war in my soul, at its peak <br />Where should I go? <br />Where should I turn? <br />Who should I love? <br />For whom do I really yearn? <br />Desperate are my cries <br />With all my energies I try <br />To live a life free from lies <br />Let me be, is my cry <br />Freedom daily eludes me <br />As through the eye of the world I see <br />A life wrapped up in secrecy <br />Free, Free I need to be free <br />To express all that is me <br />Trapped, trapped been pushed all the way back <br />As every hour I face the fact <br />At my very best <br />I am helpless <br />Helpless because a force so great <br />Will no longer be asked to wait <br />Helpless, helpless, helpless…<br /><br />Joy Lovelet Crawford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/helpless-8/
