Save me from myself

Despair is a strong undercurrent..

Before I drown in my self pity,swimming against my battle weary conscience,

the looks and charm have all but gone and so has the fight.

Pounded down by ideals and fable,

by people who only,truly care about themselves.

I am older than most,less wiser or smart,

vomited onto this rock with no idea or direction in faith or humanity.

Save me from myself,

before I lash out against the ones that truly care,

the ones that drag me up from this cruel despair.

I can relate to the idea of the selfish, wrapping themselves in the disguise of allies. Often comes from people who have no idea of the concept of friendship. Great cynicism construct in this piece. Good read.

I see a lot of myself in this poem, thank you for writing this :) by the way, I think you made a typo in to first line of the last stanza. You put 'form' instead of 'from', just thought I'd point that out :)
