When the World is Spinning (original)

The world is falling apart around us.

  Hundreds of people drop dead daily from a myriad of things,

    Sickness, disease --- heartache

      My family says I am supposed to keep alive.

        I’m supposed to run away, stay alive.

          I don’t think they realize that I can’t leave.

            I can’t leave this family that has loved me

              Unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

                What should I do?

                  I can’t comprehend leaving; it’s not even an option.

                    If you get this pled before dawn tonight,

                      Save us.

                        The sun is dropping fast.

                           Send an angel down and save us.

                              Reach your glowing hands that created the Earth, through the clouds

                                And save us.

Please.
