God, I need help
I don't know who else to turn to
If you know my every thought
Then can you explain them to me?

God, I need help
My heart feels like it's totally empty
If you know my every emotion
Then can you tell me what I'm feeling?

God, I need help
I feel like there's no purpose
If you've seen my every tear
Then can you wipe the future ones away?

God, I need help
I feel I'm not wanted or loved
If you've seen my every heartbreak
Then can you heal my shattered heart?

God, I need help
Life just seems so... blah
If you've felt every disappointment
Then can you help me turn to you?

God, I need help
I've strayed so far away
If every sin I've done has hurt you
Then can you help me not to sin any more?

God, I need help
I can't do it on my own
If you really died for me so long ago
Then can you forgive me for all I've done?

God, I need help
I think we need to talk
I don't want to be 'blah' anymore
Will you ever take me back?

God, I need help
Let's go talk.

This is an awesome poem.  One of the best I've read from you.  It takes a lot of courage to ask for help like this.  I really loved the last two lines.  VERY nice poem.  It's a library piece... like I said, it takes a lot to ask for help like this.  Stay strong   You'll make it through.

I really thought this one was touching in the end. I liked it a lot!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Skyfire-
   Very emotional write, and wonderfully done.

       "God, I need help
       Life just seems so... blah
       If you've felt every disappointment
       Then can you help me turn to you?"


   You just did turn to Him...the moment
   you wrote this heartfelt piece.
   Hugs,
   ~vicky

Some people come into our lives and go quickly. Some people stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. We are never ever the same.
