PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

        Those restless years I thought were gone

I fear are still around.

And things seem like they'll never change

Until I'm in the ground.



Oh, why, my God? Please tell me why

I cannot be like others?

Where did I get this restlessness,

This restless urge that smothers?



Please help me understand, dear God,

I'm sure I'll pass the test,

And, too, I need some peace of mind,

A bit of tranquil rest.



Let not my nerves be shattered

Nor my mind to break apart.

And help me squelch this restlessness

That lingers in my heart.



Please let my restless urgings be

Contained within my soul,

And not affect the ones I love

Nor swerve me from my goal.
