desperation
Alone
Surrounded by foolishness and ignorance
I break
Alone
Alone
Wrapped up by insecurities
Please rescue me
Save me
Alone
Confronted by fears I cannot count
I need your love
I’m dying
Alone
Appalled by human interaction
I feel fake
A copy
Alone
Repulsed by all your unholy deeds
I am dirty
Please wash me
Alone
I need new life – a reason to be
Please shine through me
Jesus.
Alone
But fill me with your purity
And cleanse me
God I need you

Desperation
Your words say it all!
title
The obvious title of this poem would be "Alone" But kudos to you for going with the not obvious title. I think that desperation describes the idea of the poem much more, though. Very good poem. I think it's interesting how when I'm feeling especially desperate, even as I am not as religious as I could be, I know that I sometimes turn to God, even if only for a second. Very nice writing. The repetition of the word alone really enforces the mentality of the speaker. Thanks for adding me as a buddy!
thank you
thank you so much for your kind words! i try never to go for the obvious title because i think that shows a lack of imagination, so thank you for appreciating that. i totally agree with you - i am not overly religious myself, but find it comforting to know that there is a higher power that i could turn to if the need arises! i was in an extremely bad spot in my life when i wrote this, so this just came straight from the heart.
i really love your poetry, so thank you for enjoying mine!
