Father Arbiter

I’ve come as far as I can.
My feet won’t carry me another step
I don’t know where I am anymore
The trail has no familiar blazes left

Please protect us.
I’m sorry for who I’ve always been
Please don’t let me shatter.
I’m sorry for who I still am.

I don’t know what’s next, but
I can’t get from here to there fast enough
Please help me tend my children
They are all I have left of love.

I’m sorry for all my words.
I’m sorry for talking like I knew
Anything at all. I’m sorry for all
I said and didn’t do.

Please find more Mercy for me.
I’m sorry I need so much.
