What do you want of me?
By charlie herring

Deaths sweet song
Calls to me again
This world of hate would soon be gone
Gone the pain
Gone the fighting of friends and family
Gone the injustice
Gone the life from me

It would be better never to have lived
If I had died as just a little kid
I would never have led this life
Never have felt this pain
Never have felt this love
If I had died as a child

What courses would there lives take
Would they have gone on?
Where they meant to be great
Am I holding them back?
I know I am a nusesnse
An annoyance at best

How I wish this life would end
How I wish I could be with him
With my father and my friend
My god and my savior
They would keep me from this pain
They would not let my blood be spilt
Love everlasting
How I wish I had that
Death tastes bitter
But the fruit is sweet

Would they forgive me?
If I left
Would they care?
Should I fell regret?
I know I bother them
I know I am a burden
This life I am not long for
I want to go home
To a loving family
And the love of friends

But I am not meant to die
But am I meant to go on?
Should I watch as a spectator?
Or be a peacemaker
Among my friends

This hurts me inside the discion is not clear
My God give me guidance send down your spirit
Fill me with fire
For life
For love
For you
I need this life no more
I give it up
I turn it over
Not my will
But your will be done




 work like you don't need the money,
dance like no one's watching, and
love like you've never been hurt

I hope you are feeling better after writing this, I have been at this low point also in my life, but good times always come around eventually. Like it says it the Bible, "and it came to pass..."

zorkon,
  Oh, your poem is strong, conveying emotions. Let me add, you did a superb job writting your feeling in poem. I wish I knew your age, for you reach out to God in such a way your seeking peace, within and around.
  God placed your spirit within your Mothers womb and you were given life. A precious life. When I have felt discouraged and alone, I have found being alone with Him, with no distractions and I find Him sometimes in songs of praise. Just me and my squeeky voice, singing songs of love to Jesus, pretty soon I am praying out loud and before I know it, He has enveloped me with His love, refreshing my heart- giving me a new heart. Not knowing your circumstances, may I suggest going humbly before Jesus in prayer, asking Him for a new heart. He gave me one this year. I was filled with bitterness and anger for a loved one who disappointed me so, I had to seek Him for help and zorkon, He supplied. Took the bitter our and filled my heart with love. It may not seem as though this is earth shaking to others, to my son and I, it was a miracle.
God bless you and if you would like to email me, feel free. I am no counseler, but I do believe in prayer and I do love the Lord and I know where there are two gathered in prayer, He will be there too. Bless you my friend.  marcy

Dear Zorkon; I too have been exactly where you are and felt that I was only a burden, not a blessing. It was all lies! Lies from you know who. I surrendered my life and will, just as you have and My whole life changed from within and from without. Trust in His Love for you and watch what happens.
Ditto what Marcy said. E-mail me too if you want. Love, Ellie

I tell ya, I know this life can sure be very difficult to say the least at times. You know one day we had people from a church, (they were knocking on doors) and though I knew about Jesus and what He did for all, I never accepted that He did it for me, I knew He did it for others. I wasn't even aware of that until she asked me. So you know He did it, but do you know He did it for YOU? When I thought about that, I couldn't answer yes. A while after that the reality of that really hit me. When I realized how much Jesus loves us, it filled me, and that was it.

People on earth, in the flesh, cannot love us in the true love we seek for, or be what we need or expect. They will constantly dissapoint us when we look to them to make us happy. When we give it all up to God, and that's not easy to do, then our site becomes spiritual and not so earthy.

A saying so easy, but so difficult is..."Let go and let God!"  It seems simple, but it isn't. Because we always tend to want to hang onto the problem. He don't work fast enough for us, so we take it back. In order for Him to fix it, we need to totally surrender to Him, knowing He can do better, and His PERFECT timing.

May God bring you the peace you seek, for there's no other peace like His. May He direct your paths, for He loves you like no other! His love is totally unconditional!
