Predicament

I stand here today with failures all around
I see nothing for myself, but worthless bound
I'm trying to look past the selfish me
What the Lord originally made, I try to see

But,the new me that I have designed
Shows what I truly am, with loss of mind
A failure, a fool, a wretched soul
That no longer has, in this life, a role

For I used to be able to concentrate
I could help my children and on them wait
I could do school work and kiss boo boos
I could lift them up when they were blue

Yet, here I stand on this day
With a crowded mind and no good way
To be triumphant at life's events
Lord, save me from my predicament
