We come in here broken, lost nowhere to turn
We come in here lonely, no more bridges left to burn
We come in here scared, completely full of fear
We come in here crying, constantly hiding tears

I walked in, and I was lonely had nowhere else to go
I walked in here clueless, thought "no chance that I can grow"
I walked in here with my head held towards the floor
I walked in here wanting to just walk out the door
I didn't want to talk to you I didn't want to hear
I didn't want you to confirm what was my biggest fear

Facing you are powerless is not an easy thing to do
Realizing what the problem is, and all that must be true
Coming to believe in a power greater than myself
Realizing that he was there when I had nobody else
Trusting fears and doubt would soon dissipate
Realizing a trust in God, and restoration of my faith


Showing up and doing what we are told to do
Realizing you are not alone and all they say is true
A life beyond your wildest dreams
So cliche at least it seems
For the grace of God is in my life today
And as long as I continue I know that I will stay

I've heard things I'll take with me until the day I die
I've heard things that have made me smile, and some that made me cry
Acceptance is the answer to almost everything
Acceptance is the answer that helps me spread my wings
I've come and I have listened, I've come and I have shared
I've reached my hand out to that stranger to let them know I care

We come in here lost, but when we leave we can be found
We come in here lonely, but are picked up off the ground
We come in here scared with nowhere left to turn
We come in here empty with so much left to learn

Some may come, and some may go
Some may leave and some may grow
Some may live, and some may die
Some may get it, some may lie

It's not up to me or you
It's about finding what is true
Realize that it can be done
If by me than anyone
Happiness is something I thought I'd never find
But now that I am here, I know that it is mine!

Great ballad...almost reads like a song you would hear sang from Kurt Cobain's voice (if you are a fan of Nirvana, you may understand my comparison--one of my favorite bands). This is a great poem...I would love to read more by you.

Nice job.. i was really good...

[Gordon]

Good job! Nice story to it. It's one that has been lived by many but you put it to words very well. I like the repetitiveness of the lines, espcecially how you tied "We come" at the beginning, when you had no answers and were lost, with the same beginning later of "We come" but this time there are answers. It's a nice transformation.

Edit stuff: I think this line is missing something "Facing you are powerless is not an easy thing to do". Maybe you meant, Facing you as the powerless is not an easy thing to do.

All in all it's a good write and thanks for becoming a member.
