Save
me from myself
by
Chad Gurley
Save
me from myself
as old depression
seeks me out
Instead
of being in the now
he sneaks back
to yesteryear
Lonesome
sighs at lack of
sightly accomplishment
hoped for
dreamed of
The
Father reminds me
“All in good time”
His time
Frowning
childishly
impatient in now
selfishly I want
He
giggles tousling my hair
waves a smile
from my frown
Lighten
up.
