what do you do when you a do no more?
when the tears can't stop coming?
when the rain won't stop pouring?
when the overbearing pain doesn't stop throbbing?
what do you do?
what can you do?
where do you go?
where can you go?
no more running away
you must let go.
you must let God.

The author's comments:
i hope people will be inspired by this piece, and know that you can't fix everything. i hope this piece gives answers to my peers that always want to help others bu in some cases just can't, to know to just give it to God because there's nothing more we can do as humans. some things are beyond us.
