A REASON TO BELIEVE

Give me a reason to go on tonight.
Because I am just not seeing any.
My feelings are all screaming at me.
With nowhere to go.
But deep down into the abyss within.
Where my screams echo endlessly.
I never saw life coming.
It was like the storm surge before the storm.
I was washed away.
Who I was was gone forever.
Leaving little hope to grasp.
I just want to know why.
What is all this for?
Then I see a dove with a fig leaf, and I shoot it.
Hope is gone from me.
I see nothing in my life.
A life that is dead.
Just a barren wasteland.
I'm lost out in it, no food, no water.
I am parched.
I am starving.
Slowly wasting away.
Soon there will be nothing left of me.
Just give me a reason for me.
Something that I can believe in.
The truth, not a lie.

  2. Deep and powerful things don't come from shallow people with calm hearts. I pray Jesus will help you find comfort. He was well acquainted with sorrow. Deep emotions are not too big for Him. Read a few Psalms and you'll know men of God go to deep and lonely places. Then they come out to comfort others, with comfort from the Comforter: the Holy Spirit!

    1. Thank you, no truer words have been said to me. My second name, David, wasn't given me for no reason. People have said that my writings mirror the Psalms of David. Hmm.

I'd love to know what you think of this poem.
