Yours

Posted in Poems, Journey Notes by Dawn Harris


If I could rise above and see the end, I could make it one more day

Facing my current reality makes it hard to stay

 

Trapped in a swirl of emptiness, unsure of what is real

Praying past the numbness, wanting desperately to feel

 

Afraid my life has become a slave to this awful place

If only for a moment, Lord, I could look upon Your face

 

How long must I stay here and fight this worthless fight?

There is no point anymore I’ve forgotten all but night

 

The darkness and confusion is all that I can see

Fading fast the remnants of what used to be me

 

Feeling forgotten and alone I cry out yet again

I refuse to give up and I will not give in

 

If You choose to leave me here, then this is where I’ll stay

I do not understand it and I hate it everyday

 

But even through the hatred for this place that’s close to hell

I believe You have a plan and a story left to tell

 

Whatever Your reason, I trust You with my life

And if You choose, Lord, to take it…I give it without fight

    These words paint so vividly your fight but even more vivid is the grace in which you walk. Your faith is REAL!!!
