Troubles

I'm crying out, "I need You". I feel like I'm trapped and feel like I can never get out.
No matter what I do, it seems like I keep going back while running farther and farther away from you.
I question myself, "What do I have to do to learn?" Will it just be a little scratch or could it turn into a 2nd degree burn?
When will i listen? How can I not? Why do I sometimes want to? but then suddenly feel lost?
Once again confusion creeps up on me, like the darkness of night yet I'm blind and can't barely see.
The bad end of the rope, the worst part of the line. Why don't I get that? Will I soon run out of time?
So many things have I learned and talked about with one. Yet I can not grasp it and once again I feel gone.
My strength is decreasing where I can barely hold on. I'm losing my grip and I know it won't be long.
Only you can save me, and I've seen it before. But for some reason I run back into the fire and tightly lock the door!
