Rescue me

[jendeana]

A poem I wrote about struggeling with my undiagnosed disability . My daughter helped type this for me .

Rescue me
I went to sleep one night in my bed
when suddenly the world came down upon my head

burying me deep out of sight
trapped some where between the darkness and light

half alive or is it half dead
i find myself slowly trapped inside my head

consumed by confusion and overwhelmed by dread
aching to shout everything i ever left unsaid

suffocated by my own worst fears
trying not to drown in my own falling tears

i can barely move and my scream comes out a squeek
i try to escape but i'm just to weak

pain and misery are never far away
with me forever they threaten to stay

i can only wait for help to arrive
remain calm and simply survive,

day after day help passes me by
unable to hear my silent desperate cry

i see the people through cracks in the street
experiencing the bitter along with the sweet

moving forward with this thing called life
leaving behind this mother and wife

upon this rubble that once housed me
they placed a memorial for everyone to see

now people occasionally stop and stare
saying how tragic , how sad and so unfair

they do not see me here beneath this weight
praying someone finds me before it's too late

surrounded by people yet completely alone
firmly encased in my prison of bone

doing whatever i can to cope
grasping at every shred of hope

dreaming of walking talking and clapping with glee
that someone was finally able to rescue me

a lesson learned through a deafening scream
please dear lord let this be a horrible dream

as i lay me down to sleep
i pray this is not my fate to keep
