WHY?

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

God I am tired
WHY?
do you make this world such a cold place
what is the necessity of sadness
this ache?
I don't understand this need for pain?
You take some away
you make some remain
WHY?
what is it we are supposed to learn?
why with this pain our souls black
you burn?
WHY?
please make it easier
make sunshine
send light
hold us aloft
lift us to flight
I know, I know
I am not supposed to ask
But God I'm so tired
don't know how long I can last
Please God I pray
I learned enough for one day
lesson is over I need sweet relief
Just for one day
Please God
I pray for some peace

Well, this is an emotional retreat, expression of utter helplessness when you stop feeling helpless by conceding your helplessness. But it helps so far it is being treated as a logical retreat. The battle must continue. And we must behave like an impeccable warrior.
