87. Monchielle — Supplication

Exhausted with this life,
I flee the outside world
   Of all my living pains,
A world condemned to hate
   The goodness that remains.

Exhausted with this life,
I lose the narrow path
   That leads to better things,
Entrapped within the past
   Of hatred's bitter stings.

Exhausted with this life,
I fall upon my knees
   In supplication to
The savior of my soul,
   Starting my prayer anew.

Exhausted with this life,
I say unto the air,
   "My Lord, forgive the wrongs
Of this unworthy man.
   In You this man belongs."
