Just for the stress relief, here’s something for your reading pleasure:

Helpless: A Cry For Help

As if planets are revolving around me
It seems like everything around me is twirling
As I close my eyes and hope that this will stop
It didn’t
Everything is swirling inside as well

Every time when people ask me how do I do
I just answered that I’ve been juggling with too much work
As I tried to let them go and hope that this will stop
It didn’t
It’s seems that I’m the one being juggled

As if the force of gravity has increase its strength
It seems that I can barely walk with my legs planted on the ground
As I tried to sit down and hope that I can rest
It didn’t
Everything around me is forcing me to go on

Every time when people ask me how do I do?
I just smiled… say everything is OK
As I close my eyes and hope chaos will stop
It didn’t
A silent cry of help is amplifying deep inside…

As if I have become someone with a sealed mouth
It seems that my feelings aren’t able to be voiced out
As I close my eyes and pray that someone can listen to my little voice
Crying for help
… Did it? Or it didn’t?


I did notice that my poem structure and style didn’t changed much until now… Hmm… I wonder is it a good thing? 😛
