When the words fail
when the tune from my lips no longer makes a sound
when all the boats sail
when masts moan, when the ships, once at sea, run aground

when the storms swell
when the waves crash on the shore
when life’s just hell
when I cannot handle more

In my abyss, where do You hide?
Oh God, my God You hear me cry
My soul screams an unanswered “why?”

Inspired by Psalm 22
