Needing Saving

I find people often say
No one will come save you
You, must save you
How much colder could life get?
How much more strength do they expect?

I’m the one who needs to be saved
At the very least, that I deserve
Still, I find a truth I can’t debate
In life, we get not what’s deserved
But what we negotiate.

Dear God, dear universe
Would you sit and watch me regress;
As I Lose myself, my life, my hope
I could end it all right now you know?

Right here, right now
I resolve to make my stand
You must send someone my way
There is no way I lose this bargain

No need to throw myself
Off a building or cliff’s edge
I have nothing left to lose, believe me
I’ll sit here and wait for someone to come save me.
