Literature Text

Tragedy befalls you
There is nothing you can do
Everything comes crashing down
In despair you begin to drown

They all have gone away
Left you in a broken mass to lay
The mirror of your perfect life
Was shattered by greatest strife

The reflection of your soul
Is cracked and no longer whole
Shards of glass silently fall
Glittering in the blackest hall
Each beautiful piece as a thorn
Ripping into your heart, forlorn

Tears of hopelessness flow, crystalline
Chasing after any drop of morphine
Anything to take the pain away
As you cry to the sky kyrie
Praying for anyone to come
And stop the pendulum
That ticks off each moment
To the end of your lament

Depression drags you down
You are about to drown

I finally break free
From the chains that tied me
I reach out my hand
And help you stand
I pick up the shattered pieces
From all the little crevasses

I help you repair
And solemnly swear

These pieces will stay together
Just as we are, forever
A very long poem that I started in study hall and took an extreme turn from its original purpose.
I read somewhere that Kyrie is a short prayer that means 'Lord, have mercy' though I think the single word kyrie just means 'Lord'

I'm wondering if I should submit this for the healing contest White-Eagless is holding. Does this really show healing? I would appreciate your thoughts because I am not sure at all

The contest info can be found here if you are interested: white-eagless.deviantart.com/j…
