TAKE ME AWAYA Poem by Goddess KenyattaLast 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; © 2008 Goddess Kenyatta |
