Sea Of Darkness Poem by Pete Rivera

I'm lost in a sea of darkness
I cannot find the way out
I call constantly for your help
Why won't you help me?

Have I dishonored you?
Have I deceived you?
What have I done?
If nothing
Than why do you deny me?

Why do you continue to ignore me?
Ignore my cries for help
Please, I beg of you
Save me from this sea
This sea of darkness

It is enshrouding me with hate
It is blinding me with malice
And poisoning me with contempt

Save me from the darkness
And I will be indebted to you
All the days of my life
I will gratify you always

So, please, I cannot take it
I need to be free
Free, free
Free from the everflowing
Free from the sea of darkness
