"Psalm 38" (Slipping)

Naked although I'm clothed
Bruised with no sign on pain
Broken but held together
Bleeding but it doesn't stain

Lonely yet surrounded
Deceived but not converted
I speak but do not listen
To a world that is perverted

Like a burden
Too heavy to hold
My heart is anguished
Inside it groans

My heart pounds
My strength fails me
My eyes dim
The light escapes me

I am slipping...

For I am about to fall
My pain is ever with me
Do I have the right to call
I cry out, O God, come quickly
