I'm sorry if I can't always be funny,
and if I can't always just say, "something"

I'm entangled
with just about every sad & disturbing thing
this world has inflicted on me

this seriousness entraps me,
and I can't breathe,
I can't think,
I can't speak

I feel little more than despair
I feel flooded,
but at the same time,
I am empty

I'm drowning,
and I'm reaching,
yet grasping nothing

I can't calm this panic ...

my heart beats so quickly
I can feel my life passing,
and my spirit is screaming out,
"Dear God save me! "

Heaven help me,
in this distress
I believe I am sinking
into an eternal abyss....

These words are really profound and very real.

I like this, it's good reflection of the human condition.
