Hopeless Fool

Desperate
Feeling so
Unworthy of anything
Desperate
for anything
Unworthy
Not
being
in
the
know
of what to do
is Heartbreaking
And desperately
Insinuatingly
Distinct
In the capacity
of my desire to know
and to live
and to be
My desperation
feels foolish to me
But, it’s humanly
to need
and to want to be
Something other
than the me
I see
Help me Jesus
give me strength
to live for You
in my every breath
Seems so hard to
do
Just do
I don’t know what to do
The despair is so great
Yet, I cannot
be
I cannot see
I cannot live without
all of You.
Is it true?
This is coming
from a
hopeless
Fool.
Help me to live,
to live for You.
