Sonnet

Sonnet

Ryan Williams

I feel my life begin to fall apart,

My soul begins to scream for something new.

I wish I knew why things were always so hard,

I wish someone would tell me what to do.

There was a time when I felt good inside,

Now all there is is emptiness and grief;

A sword, up to the hilt, thrust through my side,

This pain has cut through each of my beliefs.

Won't someone come to me to fill my need?

A person who will re-enchant my life

And clip the root of this depressing seed?

To put a final end to all this strife.

To you, my friend, I come for each of these,

For you alone can put my life at ease
