"A Cry for Help"

                 “A Cry for Help”

                    Dear Future,     

                                               Why can you not hear me calling?

                                         I try and try, again and again, to reach you--

                                                   To be answered with no reply.

                                                All that I ask for is some guidance,                                                       

                                                  Some help and some reassurance,                                                  

                              So that somewhere I may find inner strength and endurance

                                                                To carry on.         

                                                      What do you hold for me?                                                 

                                                             I call out once more.

                                               Will I find success? Love? Happiness?

                                                        I guess only time will tell, so

                                                  For now I sit, waiting for you arrive.    

                           Waiting for you to calm my worries, my constant fears and doubts.    

                                                              Waiting for a sign--

                             A sign of something, anything, that suggests the presence of my

                                                                    Future.

                                                                 Until then,

                                                     A desperately clueless girl
