Help Me Save Me Poem by Lily Phelps

There are days that aren't so great
Where my sorrow seems to escalate.
And even though they say it's okay,
it's far from being that way.
I can't help but see,
the way my life should be,
versus the way it is to me.
All I ever feel is pain,
And nevertheless,
that is all I ever gain.
And I know they tell me it's okay,
that this feeling I feel,
it will go away,
it's not real.
But it's like preaching to deaf ears,
increasing my fears.
It seems as though all I do is cry,
and I never seem to understand why.
Help me figure out how this coud be;
Help me save me.
I wish I could figure out who I am,
before I am damned.
I pray to God every night,
to lead me,
show me the light.
But all I ever hear is silence,
His obvious absence.
Take me to a better place,
to dream in infinite space.
