    I Can't do it Alone

     

     

    Deep despair, burning heartache, humbling failure. Why is this happening?

    Pain stabs my heart and echoes to the depths of my soul

    The weight of this burden feels impossible to bear

    Suddenly I see my friends have forsaken me

    Or, was it me that left them in my anger?

    Was I the one who pushed them away? 

    Won’t You help me? Won’t You take some weight? I can’t do it alone!

     

    I know I’ve tried to do this myself for far too long

    Selfish pride said the work of my own labors would more than sufice

    When I hit rock bottom, the truth cannot help but shine through

    And I realize You were there all along, I just never noticed

    With all I have “built” in my life, I needed to be torn down

    Finally, it is clear that I am in dire need of You

    Only You can save me. I can’t do it alone!

     

    Forgive me for trying to live on my own accord

    Now I see the failure of such futile determinations

    I’m reaching out to You in faith that You are listening

    Though, I know I don’t deserve for You to be

    Won’t you change me? Won’t you show me how to live?

    Break me with compassion for others, rid me of myself

    Help me revamp my life so I may live for You. I can’t do it alone!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
