Looking up at God and saying, "I don't want to play anymore."
"It isn't them Father it's me. I don't mind helping, you know I like it. You give me what I need for them. Words I don't have myself, but somehow they come to me. I'm thankful and honored. I don't mind at all. It isn't their lives but mine. Why do I have the words for others. Why can I sense and feel from thousands of miles away. Why can I call on power not my own and see things happen.Why! I don't mind. It isn't them, it's me. Why can't I solve my problems? Why can't I find the way? Why can I hear for them but not for me? Why can I take their pain and can't loose mine? Why does my heart break for them and you hear me cry out for them and you help? But why when I cry and the tears will not cease, my heart breaks? and breaks, and breaks and breaks. Until I am numb. Then you put another in my path and I feel joy. I can help, I know I can. I can assist. You give me the words. You give me the power. Then I return to myself. It's the same. I've gone full circle again. In the same place again. I am older. That is the change. I don't mind helping them. You know it's my joy. But sometimes, just sometimes. Not because of them, but because of me. It's how I feel because of me. Sorry Father, but sometimes, I don't want to play anymore."

About this poem:
One of those times in life, when it seems that I could help anyone who crossed my path, but could find no answers for myself. Looking back, it's another life lesson, because I have gone on, grown and learned since this point. I guess, it's mostly the feeling and frustration when we can't find answers for ourselves, but must trust, that the answers will come. It makes it no easier, but then again, who said life was easy...
