    ON MY KNEES

    it's 2 in the morning
    and i'm still wide awake.
    can't fall asleep
    no matter what i take.
    strung out from the pills
    and the voices in my head.
    how i long for Jesus
    and him to put me to bed.
    shivering cold
    and all alone.
    how must i keep this up?
    how shall i go on?
    i've took on the devil
    and all his evil ways.
    how long must i wait?
    how many long days?
    gonna get down before you
    and pray on my knees.
    won't you take my pain away?
    and give me some kind of release.
    i've shouted at the mountains,
    and i've cried to the brook
    i watched my life fade away
    with every breath i've took.    steve

    Heartwrenching. I wish I had some cliche or platitude that could make you feel better. But all you can do is pray to your higher power. I hope you will find your peace soon.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
