Lord Help Me!

People's words can really hurt... but God can help you thru that hurt

Im tired of what they say
and how they put us down
want to scream go away
tired of wearing this frown

im ready to go to the mountains
be a hermit with no one around
be with my family only
and turn the frown upsidedown

just sick of ppl saying were not gonna work
he cant provide with out a job
and im not ready to settle down
im just tired and want to sob

i love him and want him only
he is the half to make me whole
but no one believes me
and no one seems to see

he says he loves us
and needs our family
he will prove it however he must
he wants kaylee and me, us!

but why must ppl be the way they are
and hurt our relationship
make me want to go so far
away and forget that others exist!

I hate mankind sometimes
I wish they would die off
only the ones i like survive
and the world be nicer

But in this world i must live
with hate, lust, and sin
but on God i rely
and try to have live within

Life gets so hard
and i just want to give up
forget what i love
and just never care again

I want to listen to those voices
that constantly echo within
but i love my family
and want to be with him

Im just tired of being discouraged
tired of negativity, and depression
want to escape it all and pass by
and hope to go to heaven after i die

All i can ask is why why why
days are dreaded
and nights even more so
as my mind just runs wild

i lay in bed and just think
what if, what if what if
what they say seems to sink
into my mind, but i cant let it!

I love him this i know
and want him forever
even if i dont let it show
he is my lover

They make me more depressed
just with their words and thoughts
cant they keep them to themselves?
or must they destroy the lives of others?

Please God drown it all out
im tired of these people
tired of all the doubt
leed me to your steeple

Cover me with your love
let me shine as Jesus did
Let others see you above
instead of me, filthy sin

Im tired of my life,
and it will continue to worsen
unless you fulfill me
and make me right within

This life slowly passes us all by
and when we die, where will we go?
to heaven if on you we rely
and i dread to think of those going to hell

I wish just all could do your will
make it easier for no one to fall astray
wish no one would legally kill
with all the negative they say

God please, im on my knees
begging you to help me
I am so tired of all of this
and i want this one wish
make it all go away,
but if you wont do that
i need the strength to make it
strength to press on and forget
courage to speak of you
to not be ashamed,
be able to let your light glow
I am a sinner so in need
a reed needing to be weaved
crafted into your tool, holy

i feel i cant make it
i cant change
but im right
"I" cant do anything

ONLY YOU IN ME
will make a differance
that anyone will see
so lord have your way
and start today!
In jesus' name i pray!
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
 

Author's Note

Be aware that your words affect everyone, there is power in the tongue to kill to editfy(sp?) watch what you say.... and if you are constantly being discouraged, do as david did and edify yourself in the Lord!

"I hate mankind sometimes
I wish they would die off

and the world be nicer"

I really can relate to what that stanza is saying. What this poem was saying was brilliant. There was a lot of emotion apparent in it as well.
Some of the rhymes seemed forced, and perhaps it would've been better with free verse in certain place.
Nonetheless, the poem was quite well done, and I loved the message.

Keep it up.

Dennis you are right i find a lot of times i just write something... then i try to go back and make it rhyme... but im starting to learn that poetry and writing is not all about ryhming... its about the emotion behind it and the purpose of writing it and getting those emotions and purposes across so that others can see them as well.. but thank you so much for your review... i really appreciate it.. i love writing but due to becoming pregnant at the age of 17 i dropped out of school in the middle of 11th grade.. and i wish that i would be able to write and have some one put music to the writings.. i love singing and writing and would love to be able to make a living doing what i love.. but i appreciate any constructive criticism that i can get... thank you for taking your time out to review my writing :) Dezarae
