Save Me. I'm Here.

suddenly, i'm drowning.
in sins, in hopes, in faith, in the dark,
in this loss of esteem for my souls well being.
i'm losing my way.
and no one will acquiesce my plea for help.
probably because it's only in my mind as selfish pride chokes the words before they leave my tongue and taste the oxygen on its way into my throat
and i am helpless again.
and there are those who would frown upon my means of self sufficiency.
but i didn't ask them for their opinion,
so they lock it inside.
instead of trying to protect me from myself.
