Ode of I <br /> <br />Weary am I now <br />for this thing called life has not been kind <br />weary am i now <br />I'm about to lose my mind <br /> <br />Troubled am I now <br />so burdened down by thought <br />troubled am I now <br />This battle to survive, no longer can it be fought <br /> <br />pained am I now <br />bye malicious, calculated actions <br />pained am I now <br />cornered by my fears, stunned by my reactions <br /> <br />escape for me now <br />would bring about welcome release <br />escape for me now <br />would bring about much needed inner peace <br /> <br />Scared am I now <br />for control is rapidly slipping <br />scared am I now <br />this fear within seeping slowly through, brutally crippling <br /> <br />Hopeless am I now <br />all resources drained <br />Hopeless am I now <br />oh please! Help me, from faith i have abstained <br /> <br />angry am I now <br />at all that surrounds me <br />angry am I now <br />for of struggle and pain I am seldom free <br /> <br />Lost am I now <br />left with nowhere to turn <br />lost am I now <br />Oh how these tears have started to burn <br /> <br />Defeated am I now <br />for I have fought till I can no more <br />defeated am I now <br />my courage has failed me, disappeared through the door <br /> <br />weary am I now <br />I beg for inner strength to return, to once again flow <br />weary am I now <br />for if strength does not return, straight to hell is where I'll go.<br /><br />Jill Ferrey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-of-i/
