Helpless

By body is slow and sluggish.  I am numb.

I am open, exposed and vulnerable.  I think someone is going to shoot me from behind at any moment.

I am losing strength rapidly.  I need someone else to be the strong one for a while.  I need someone I trust to wrap their arms around me, hold me tight and protect me.  I know that won't change anything, but at least I'll feel safe for a while.

I am so alone.
