Until My Change Comes

Until My Change Comes

Leslie A. Geen 7/22/11

Sadness pushes up but the wait is too heavy

Tears held at bay by the DAMN fact that she's all cried out

But if the levies shall ever break, she'll drown in her own sorrows

This life vest must have some holes in it cuz I feel like I'm drowning.

I keep coming up for air but get sucked back in by the current.

How can I go against the flow?? I'm not sure if I'm strong enough anymore.

Everything hurts, mostly on the inside though.

I try to paddle, swim, float, fight, sing and pray

Yet I seem to keep sinking.

I wonder if I've missed the rescue boat?

Am I supposed to stay in these rough waters?

Shall the waves continue to crush me?

This salt water burns my wounds!

Got anymore of that anesthetic?

At least until the master surgeon performs His miracle.

At least until I can catch my breath and dry off

At least until I can hear the birds sing sweetly and the sunshine kisses my cheek

At least until I'm once again hugged with hope

At least until, until...unil my change comes.
