Silent Plea

Silent Plea

(3/29/01)

I sit alone on this silent night,

thinking about my life gone past,

the things I did wrong, and should have done right.

I never realized that life would go by so fast.

In my mind is chaos, confusion, and fear,

I see myself spinning, spiraling down,

I feel helpless inside, I wipe away a tear.

In my own anguish, soon I will drown.

Someone please help me, please hold my hand,

I'm afraid of the thoughts inside my own head,

I need someone near me, by my side please stay,

This is my silent plea, every night before bed.
