Why?

No peace within

i'm struggling

these walls

my prison

you sit

why won't you help me?

"Help me!"

please, dear God,

help me.

do something

i'm ripping apart inside

say something

i need voice

you stare

why won't you help me?

"Help me!"

please, dear God,

help me

my heart is aching

i'm insane

no sun

no light

you smile

why won't you help me?

"Help me!"

please, dear God,

help me.

my body is breaking

i'm restrained

these straps

this game?

you stand

why won't you help me?

"Help me!"

please, dear God,

help me.

oh no, she's coming

"Visiting hours are over."

you kiss me

walk away

you leave

you always leave me

always in this room

this place

this asylum

why won't you help me?

"Help me..."

A very emotional plea, one made out of desperation. That cry we only make as a last option. It's even an askance which she probably doesn't not believe will succeed, but when at last straws, we make them for there is no other hope.

It sounds like a very dark place to be, and I can't help but wish that I could turn on the light.

great wrk, i can relate

[Just Charles]

Only one error. The third to last stanza, there is an "N" instead of an "H". Other than that, the poem is great. The tone is consistent throughout.

very deep piece ...sometimes a cry for help even if it lingers to heaven we hope God can heal the scars.... i enjoyed this alot... nice job on this one....

I don't see any errors looks good
Such a crying for help emotion in this.
But God does listen and does hear us,
Why doesn't he help!
He does we just don't see it
He saved your life
Wonderful expressed write.
