A poem about sadness and sorrow. |
Set Me Free by David Prisco Lord, I hunger But I am unable to feed I can’t acquire The nourishment I need God, I thirst My throat is thirsty and dry Please allow me to continue on Lord I’m not ready to die I have fallen in a ditch and I feel trapped I have turned the other cheek but I have been slapped I feel weary and my heart is heavy with sorrow I have no desire to face the night or tomorrow Lord, I’m bleeding Please bandage my wound I feel like I’m lying In a cold and dark tomb God, I’m lonely Tell me- are you there in someway When I pray to you Do you hear what I say? Give me the strength to make it through each day I’m traveling down a long and narrow path and I can’t find my way I need a light so please shine your light on me I am blinded by sin and somehow I must see Lord, I’m crying Please wipe away my tears Can’t you see I’m consumed? In misery and fear God, I’m depressed I need to feel happiness again I desperately yearn for the comfort Of a partner and a friend Why do I feel like someone that was born to lose? Can anyone help me because I am terribly confused? Someone show me the way because I feel lost I will gladly give anything to be free no matter the cost Lord, why have you forsaken me Why do I suffer with such pain? Can’t you see that I am drowning in my tears? That fall like the pouring rain God, please help me Please extend your hand I am merely a poor soul I’m confused and I don’t understand I’ve tried to live the best possibly life I can But I am just a beaten, torn up, old man I want to soar but I am stuck on the ground Tell me dear lord, is it the Devil that holds me down Lord, I can’t take anymore I’m losing the battle and I can’t win Am I paying for a life filled with lies? Am I being punished for all of my sins? God, take me to Heaven I am ready to go I am tired of the world I live in That contains nothing but sorrow I’m living Lord and I will do my best and try I know it isn’t my time to perish or die But give me the strength to be the best person I can be I am locked in a cage dear Lord- please set me free |
