SLIPPING AWAY

Written Works Collection: Poetry

I lay lifeless on the bed
With no energy left
I look around the room
Feeling my life will be gone too soon
I have wasted so much time
In crying, regretting things of the past,
Frustrated when things go bad
I am praying a lot
Trying to prove my faith in God
I have wandered from his path
And I am trying to get back on track
I feel I have done my job as a mother, wife and friend
I am afraid of nearing the end
Growing as a person, though still having my moments like everyone else
I am too earthbound
I want to lift myself off the ground
To a peaceful, quiet place inside
Letting all my worries subside and dissipating the urge to run and hide

How do you feel today?
