Poetry: Despair

by Salina Prether

Created on: January 01, 2009

Despair sweeps it's way over me , what is all this pain that I see.

Where is the faith I use to know, when did I just let it go.

My heart is heavy and torn apart , But life was hard from the start.

Why have I guit and let the devil win, He fills my life with nothing but sin.

He doesn't care for my life , and fills it with nothing but strife.

The light from the morning sun is to bright , the nights are all full of only fright.

The screaming voices in my head , tell me I know I'm better off dead.

Then I fall on my knees and cry out to You , God I dont know what to do.

Then a voice in my heard speaks clear not hoarse , stand up strong and stay the coarse .

I'm here beside you and you know that I care , trust me my child with all of your despair.

Five years have passed sence I felt that way , And there is something I'd like to say.

If your life is sad and full of despair , then just call on your heavenly Father in prayer.

He knows you worries and pain and strife , he has been waiting to help you all of your life.

but first you must call on him and believe , and from your troubles you'll find relief.

Just trust him and love him with all of your hearts care, and find comfort in him in your times of despair.
