TAKE ME AWAY

TAKE ME AWAY

A Poem by Goddess Kenyatta

Last night I went to sleep praying to god that;
when I woke up this morning the pain wouldn't come rushing back;
but the second I opened my eyes and returned to reality;
the hands of pain stole my breath away from me;
i've been through it all and still I stand;
but even with the strongest man
if you keep adding weight, on his back he will land;
I try to hold back my tears but the dam breaks and my tears flow free;
god tell me why this is happening to ME?
if my fears are a part of reality;
give me a sign so I can set myself free;
I feel lost, confused, what the hell do I do?
If I can't turn to myself, then who can I run to?
where can I run to? I beg you lord take me away;
so these nightmares that chase me never come into play;
i'm holding on, i'm trying, but i'm losing my grip fast;
how much longer can something so excruciating last?;
I look in the mirror and God, i'm no longer me;
In my place there is an estranged woman looking back at me;
I feel so empty inside;
and though my heart beats i'm no longer alive;
all I wanted was happiness, tranquility;
but my emotions, so strong, smothered perspective and objectivity;
God, hear my cry, deliver me from evil;
i've seen this show too many times and i'm not looking for a sequel;
give me the strength and the courage to take me away from those things that haunt me;
so from the chains of the past I can finally break free;
let me travel far from the world, where I can finally end this cycle;
because.... my emotions...are suicidal;
They can no longer handle the beatings, so they seem to give up on life;
Take me away... take me away... So my heart won't die;
