Save Me

I would like to laugh deeply

until tears stream down my face

I would like to cry intensely

until I’m moved into action

I would like to tell a funny joke

but I’m not too funny

Who can save me from myself?

I would like to not be angry

but rage burns within me

I would like to be good

but selfishness rules me

I’d rather not be anxious

but life overwhelms me

Who can save me from myself?

I try hard to be filled

but emptiness follows me

Does the world offer joy

since happiness deserts me?

I would like to find purpose

but nothing completes me

Is there anyone out there

willing to save me from myself?

Or do you too feel the way I do?
