Poetry group 1 years, 2 months ago Sick and Tired
Matthew L JablonskyThat’s it!
I’m done!
It’s over!
You won!I’m tired of fighting!
I’m tired of losing!
I’m tired of running!
I’m tired of using!I’m sick of the lies!
I’m sick of this plug!
I’m sick of not sleeping!
I’m sick of these drugs!Something has to give!
Something has to break!
Something has to change!
Before it’s too late!I know I can do this,
I just have to try!
I know that it’s in me,
I don’t want to die!I’ll do what I have to,
just tell me the way!
I need your help,
and I need it today!If I wait til tomorrow,
I know I won’t last!
These demons inside me,
are pulling me back!So God, if you’re there,
can you do it again?
Say “Let there be light,
inside of this man!”You’re all that I have,
and all that I need.
So please, Lord, help me…
I’m down on my knees.
Thank you for your vulnerability and transparency a story worth sharing!
