A Prayer

Silent one, Capture my attention
It is no enough for you to wave your hand
In front of my face
For I am in total darkness

You must touch me
Make yourself known to me
Because all I know is myself
Tortured by thoughts of my inadequacy
Distorted by thoughts of my competency
lost in myself, searching for a way out

You are my rescuer
Loud voice and bright orange vest
Carry me home
