  You are a queen and a piece down. Your position is completely hopeless. Your best move here is to resign the game.
  
  It's not clear how well your opponent has played to reach this position but you have clearly played very badly indeed. An opponent who was good enough to reach this position is going to finish you off very quickly regardless of what you do.
