Let Me Try

 

You've trapped yourself in your room and put on the locks

You've distance yourself from everyone and made walls from rocks

I wish I could take it away; the pain in your voice

I wish I could make things better. That would always be my choice

 

I trust the Lord with all my heart, placing my worries in His hands

But still I wish you'd call me back, so I could understand

I wish you're safe and I wish you chose not to be alone

I wish you'd talk to someone, or you know, just pick up the phone

 

I don't feel as helpless as I'd always feel before

I no longer feel like screaming or crying until my eyes were sore

I just wish you weren't so alone facing your demons, I wish you'd call

I wish you'd ask for help, and not carry these rocks until you fall

 

I love you. I wish I remind you of that on the phone

I love you. I wish all of your sadness will just be gone

Please hold on, please be strong

Fight the darkness; it is there where you don't belong

 

I am writing this poem not because I doubt the Lord

I am writing this because my thoughts has to be heard

I no longer worry nor do I doubt

I do not cry as well, but sadness is still my route

 

I am saddened that I do not see what's happening

I am saddened that I cannot touch my loved ones who are hurting

I wish... there were more of these words I would say

I wish I could take all of your sadness away
