Be

Sometimes I stare at you

unable to express

all the inner turmoil

of a life with no rest

Your blankness draws me in

beckoning that I birth

something

anything

to relieve the burden

of drowning

drowning in silence of words unspoken

Can you take my hand

hold my trembling body

as I climb one more futile mountain

in vain

just to survive an existence

so full of pain
