For God’s Sake, Stop Me… Poem by Hebert Logerie

For God’s sake, stop, stop me, and stop me
If you see that I am crying too profusely.
Stop me; stop me from wailing like a hungry baby.

For crying out loud, come to my rescue,
Console me, talk to me, and tell me a few
Words which can stop this eerie deluge.

For Christ’s sake, this cross is too heavy,
This sadness and remorse have no boundary,
They can last night and day, for more than a century.

Ave Maria, help me cross this treacherous bridge,
Help me calm this internal and infernal rage,
This pain which is burning my soul from page to page.

This fire is unbelievably ferocious. I am unafraid to die
Of this mental and psychological illness. I cannot tell a lie,
This is out of the ordinary; this is not sweet like an apple pie.

For God’s sake, stop, stop me now,
I believe that you know how.
