Silence
by charlie herring

Silence
Surrounding
Confounding
Alone
Afraid
Full of rage
Hurt
And hate
Alone
With
Myself
Alone with
My thoughts
Scared
And
Distrot
Myself
In this
Madness
Only to
Find
I am
Lost
Hidden
Sin ridden
I left
God behind
I want to go
Back
But I am
Trapped
This
Culture of death
Has a strangle
Hold
Round my neck
Voices
Growing louder
I try to pray
Sometimes
I don't thank
God for
Unanswered prayers
The voices
Surrounding
Confounding
If I put
A bullet
In my brain
Would it
Make them
Go away
I fall down
Screaming
I HAVE SINNED
someone says
"It is finished"
the voices
Dissapper
I stand
Before
The throne
With Jesus
By my side
I start to cry
No longer afraid
No longer full of hate
No longer And rage
No longer... alone



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

Life can get rough at times and it in those times we have to tie a knot and hang on. The way your poem is arranged reminds me of a rope or thread that a desparate person would hang onto. Your faith in God can be a very strong rope to hang onto. God bless you, sure glad that troubles usually have a way of working out, and we can usually say "and it came to pass".

Charlie,
Please don't give up. Renew your faith in GOD and use this forum to find comfort. Many of us do.

What you have written tells of much struggle, however the victory was won on the cross and the last lines of your poem tell it well.

Pray everyday, Charlie for only God can keep you free of all negativity.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.
