Do not be angry with me
I am trying to do the right thing
Whether I am accepted or not
The final judgement belongs to God
Each time I think it's getting better
I'm going under water, getting wetter
Drowning, struggling for air
Lighten my burden, take away my cares
There is something I must do
Everything I do is for you
I keep making different mistakes
Closing my eyes while I'm awake
Although I need a break
The last test I must take
Why do they look at me that way?
Eyes constantly look away
A never-ending battle against myself
My heart has torn in selfless help
My mission may be to help you
Help myself first is what I must do
But both of us can make it through

The author's comments:
We are all walking blindly. What I mean is, we don't always know where life will take us, until we get there. Perhaps one is trying to do the right thing, but repeatedly pushes themselves into a situation where things get complicated. We cannot trust in ourselves alone, but we can have faith in our actions. Of course, depending on what one believes, for this is only my view. Sometimes though, we recieve an idea of what we have to do, and we have to take a risk to get where we want to be. Decisions are endless.
