Powerless

Powerless

A Poem by Thoctar

Kind of depressing, but it was how I was feeling at the time so I decided to post it.

Powerless

Powerless to stop
Powerless to help
Looking in front of me
Looking at it all fall away

Wanting to help
Wanting to heal
It all falls apart
Corroding all away

Beating against the wall
Desperately trying
Breaking through
If only I could break through…

My power to heal
My power to protect
All of it gone
Now all I can do is watch,
Watch it all fall apart

Why don’t you look with me?
As I am helpless to stop it?
I’m sure you enjoy it greatly
Seeing me unable to do anything

And for those I want to help?
Are they so inconsequential that you refuse?
Refuse to give me my power?
Leaving me like this
Powerless, helpless
Slowly fading away
Into the darkness

I cannot act
I cannot move
My power drained out of me
By the power of inaction

Wow, I really like this. It explains the feeling of being powerless sooo well. (I know that feeling from experience) Five stars!
