I wish that it was raining so that you could not see these tears.
It's dark outside and in my thoughts come to life all of my fears.
The death of what I've always known and the birth of the new.
I feel all alone in this world for the people that I can trust are now so few.
I talk to you now but I don't know if you understand what I say.
My mentality is slipping and slowly my emotions begin to decay.
I'm late for what I know I should be on time for once again.
Perhaps it's because I am walking in life and it's in the wrong lane.
If you'd see what I have seen, would you have lasted this long?
These sights I've seen are so terrible and so freaking wrong.
I beg my God to take these images from inside of my mind.
These things that flash in my head leave my thoughts ever so unkind.
I'm afraid that these tears will never stop flowing from my eyes.
Caused by life and the pain that it brings, by the truth and the lies.
I raise my head to look up and see what there is to behold.
There is no light, just darkness that poors over me ever so bold.
A kind word could go so far, but it must be too hard for one to say.
I wish for a blessing while I'm here,I know not how much longer I will stay.
I kiss the cheak of all that is good and all that I now know.
But the vomit of life, draws me in and once again, I sink so low.
Is this life a circle that will never ever reach it's preverbial end?
Will I ever be put on the straight path or will I always follow this bend.
Will my questions ever be answered or will this life end before I know?
I cannot take it anymore so on my knees, once again I do go.
My prayers sent skyward to my father who I know is always there.
And with all that I have done in my life, he forgives me without even a care.
So I rise to my feet with questions still unknown to my mind.
But my thoughts are clearer now, no longer in a bind.
What I know not now, I may never end up knowing before I have died.
But what I do know is that I am at peace with Christ walking by my side.

Amen!!!!  What makes your poem so real to me is that it comes straight from my heart as well as I feel that it came straight from yours.....  Just knowing that God is beside me has brought me through the most difficult of situations in my life.  Even though I prayed for the miraculous and that He would, God did not take the situations away from me in my life, but having Faith in God's power and ability to keep me through the situation has always been so very reassuring.  Amen.  "We can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength."  Amen. God bless you and again I love your poem because it is so personal to my own life and for me.  May your Christmas be a blessed one my friend and keep you and yours safe from all harm and evil.

-Bob

When ever I read a poem like yours, I wonder how I would have gotten through without the precious family and love that has surrounded me since the day I was born.I didn't have to fight the battles that so many of you have gone through.  I only pray I have lived my life in His honor and have helped some on their way.  I think the poems and prayers from this group is a blessing to all of us.  Love, Joyce

We all know what it's like to be in the depths of dispair that way. We all have battles and we tire of life and all the pain that we have. I love how you describe this so vividly in the beginning of the piece, and  then you give us the peace of Christ as you come to your close. A wonderful piece!

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ

Your last line, to me, was by far the most important and showed you to be a person of great faith, or else you couldn't have written it."But what I do know is that I am at peace with Christ walking by my side."
Happy days, every day.

You know all that you need to know to be happy during this lifetime.  Your poem was extremely well done and I enjoyed it very much.
