Analysis of Help
As the sky shatters above me
And the ground rumbles below me
I am taken to a place unknown
Desperately seeking solid ground
The whirlwind of unspoken emotions
Digging their way out into the world
Spinning out of control once again
Grasping for reality and the calm
Looking to the heavens for answers
Why do you not hear my cries for help?
