Misery
There are so many situations that I don't understand.
Perhaps, the Superior Being has a big plan.
There is chaos around me and I can't be still.
When will this storm cease?
While looking around I just realized,
that I am standing alone in this demise.
So much destruction, so much pain.
How can I make it go away?
It's hard to bring comfort to the broken soul,
when I don't know how to make them whole.
There is no drug that I could give,
that will cure their misery.
How can I impact the human race,
when I don't think I am that brave.
Some days I feel a tornado has sucked me in,
and I am just screaming to be set free.
I wish I have all the power to create change,
so I could make their pain go away.
Since I don't have magical powers,
I will continue to listen and hold their hand while they are crying.
