LINES INSPIRED AFTER A TIRING DAY

The phone bells ring and news fills the room

But I am exhausted and overtaken by gloom.

When boredom and depression don't leave me alone

How can I say hello to someone on the phone?

O how I long to show the wounds of my heart

But how when nobody wants to listen or to talk?

Everyone is worried, to each his own,

So I find myself completely alone.

Except for my faith in God there's nothing,

To prevent me from ending everything.
