Lost

Am I lost? 

Losing ground...

Struggling 

Anger abounds 

God help me 

I cried out loud 

Help me please 

I cannot go on 

Unsent letter

Today I started writing 

A letter I probably won’t send 

Full of pain and longing 

Written: but to what end 

To my daughter I was writing 

Maybe: never to be seen

Words filled with pain; anguish

I had to empty out; vent my spleen

These words; if kept within me 

Would fester; cause more pain

So I had to put to paper 

These feelings I must explain 

If I allow these feelings to linger 

If I swallow down this gall

Only I will suffer; hurt; malinger 

Only I will surely fall

Release this boiling anger 

Diffuse this inner frustration; again

Peace of mind; is my first aim

For truth to tell; I do suffer...

I must release this pressure 

I must feel free of all this pain
