Jesus came wrapped in paper and coated in tape
Saw the sender and fell to my knees
Felt my body sink right through the earth
Felt time reverse

Was a child crying beneath the bridge
Watched his mother and father pulled to the sea
Stopped for a moment before pretending
I didn’t see a ******* thing

Should have opened my heart long ago
******* wasted on my own problems

I crawled through service
I collapsed at the grave

Can’t shake the sweat from my tips
Can’t wash the guilt from my sheets
What the hell happened to me?
What the hell happened?

I have a terrible guilt of being a writer. I want to help, but at times I feel like I'm doing so little. I feel like I should be contributing through physical presence, rather than metaphysical contemplation. It terrifies me that all my writing will go nowhere, will change nothing, will help no one.
