Helpless

  • NB: I wrote this one night while chatting with a friend… everyone seems to get a different meaning out of it. I promise when my hand is better to post and write some much better work! But till then, put up with some writing from the void folder! The folder full of things I never intended to publish.

    Helpless

    I have faced the heavens
    The mountains tall

    Walked through fire,
    Been chillded to my bones…

    Braved the winds
    And the forests of old

    Survived quakes
    And the oceans so long

    So why am I helpless
    As I stand before you?

    I, a conquerer
    Who has seen so many things?

    Were all the battles I fought
    Just a meaningless struggle?

    Has the blood thats been spilt
    All been for nothing?

    Will it take more?
    Than muscles and rage?

    Is this something
    That no riches can buy?

    To be brave and whole,
    As I stand before you?

    Why am I so helpless?
    Just another lost soul…

    I wish I could understand
    But I fear my heart is cold.

    Today is the day that is the most important time of anyones lives….. the struggles of yesterday and the struggles of tommorro will….. and have happened !
