Why is it that when
Life seems just right,
That all of the things we see
Are suddenly torn from our sight?

Everything that was
Once so very clear,
Now a hazy fog through
Which you can’t peer.

I try to look through the fog,
So many questions in my mind;
Unsure of so many things,
Afraid of what I would find.

I’ve been whipped around.
Torn, scarred, and confused,
I lay on the hard cold ground
Feeling so hurt and abused.

Tears spring to my eyes from
the pain and suffering I feel.
The wounds are so new and undiscovered,
It will take sometime for them to heal.

Why can’t I understand
What He’s trying to say?
It’s like trying to find the sun
On a gray, cloudy day.

No matter what I choose,
Someone gets hurt somehow.
It’s back to my simple question,
“What do I do now?”

Erin! How could no one reply to this poem yet!?!?
I really liked this poem, because you expressed your feelings so well.  The only thing I would improve upon, is to add more descriptions, but it was still a great poem.  My two favorite stanzas were:

"I try to look through the fog,
So many questions in my mind;
Unsure of so many things,
Afraid of what I would find.

I’ve been whipped around.
Torn, scarred, and confused,
I lay on the hard cold ground
Feeling so hurt and abused."

Nice job! Keep writing!

I always knew looking back on the tears would make me laugh, but I never knew looking back on the laughter would make me cry.

Hey again Erin!

I know that I'm probably not suppost to be doing this, but I'm gonna bump your poem back to the top of the list.
I really liked this poem alot, and I feel like it deserves to have more than 2 repilies...well that's just my opinion, but whatever...
