Helping Hands

Why am I unable to take the right step?

Is etiquette really so important,

That you can’t reach out a hand to help?

How can you ignore human caring and need so potent?

My heart aches

And my hands itch;

But my mind doubts

And holds me back.

When I don’t fulfill my heart’s wish,

I am plagued with regrets.

I have long sleepless nights,

And days of self-beration.

So long they become soul-deep abrasions,

It keeps me thinking up all nights,

Of all my aberrations.

My days are filled with worries,

And years later, I still dwell;

On these same misdemeanors,

Endless counts have shown me my lack of judgment.

When I don’t trust my instincts,

The only hope I have to redeem myself.

an only plead

That you forgive me,

For not trusting the sixth sense,

That you have granted me.

My heart will forever weep,

At these scenes of despondency;

For those who come across me,

I want to give generously.

But fear of my limited means,

Limits me;

I keep picturing my ideal future,

Not only for personal luxuries;

But so I can do more than I am now.

Give and help to my heart’s content,

And my soul’s peace;

So that I don’t lack sleep,

And don’t have a warring mind

With conflicts buried deep.

I picture my ideal future,

Where I have peace and clarity;

Which helps me clearly see,

Those I can help in need.

Where I do not doubt anymore,

Where my mind trusts my sixth sense,

And follows my heart’s wishes;

Without second thoughts.

So forever more it comes naturally to me...
