"October 2014" a poem
My pain, you don’t see
When you look at me.
But if you look closely,
You will see what’s inside of me.
I hide it deep inside
Why? Because of pride.
Pride makes you hide.
Pride makes you
Contemplate…
Commit…
Suicide.
Because of this pain
I now see why…
I see how…
Two worlds collide!
- One is dark -
- The other is LIGHT –
My flesh gets weak
My mind takes FLIGHT!
And my pain leaves
But only for a little while.
Yet, in the midst of my sin,
My pain
My heart still cries out –
Father, do You hear me?
Father, do you see me?
Father, will you stop me?
will You help me?
will You show me?
Father, I-need-You-now.
I bow my head and fall silent.
And then, I hear my Lord’s
Still, small voice.
“My Beloved, you know that
I hear you and I see you.
I know the plans I have for you.
I know your pain
And I will never leave you or forsake you.
Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me.
Know that through this trial
I will teach you many things
One will be a lesson in humility.
Remember: My grace is sufficient for thee…”
