Poetry Lifeline

[Walliver]

I am without a tether
A kite in stormy weather
Caught in this breeze
Brought to my knees

And I need a purpose
To know I’m not worthless
To know that I’m worth it
To know I deserve it

I need someone to say
“It’s alright, you’re okay”
Someone who won’t lie
Someone who will try

Someone whose opinion is trusted
Someone whose trust is not currently busted
Someone objective
I need some perspective

I know my life’s great
But I don’t appreciate
Every time I try
It gets thrown in my face

“You have so much good
So much talent
Why aren’t you happier?
Why aren’t you happier?”

Sorry that my emotions don’t align
With the future you always had in mind
Sorry I feel depressed
Sorry my feelings are a mess

Sorry I’m anxious
Sorry I’m sad
Sorry for every feeling
I have ever had
Please forgive me
I didn’t mean to feel
I didn’t mean to live in a world that was real
I didn’t mean to set goals
I didn’t mean to have a name in the polls
I never wanted my name in lights
I never set myself for those heights

I need a lifeline
Before I flatline
I need a lifeline
Almost out of time
I need a lifeline
Please someone save me
