PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Failing at finding a silver lining here

All around me chaos and fear

I turn from God in a fury

The limits of my patience tested

How could He let this be?

Full of bs or the real thing?

U know to this day I still myself questioning

Lean on Him or look elsewhere?

Falling, always free falling

And I don't know when if ever I will stop

I am consumed by the pain of my confusion and unrest

Taught one thing but quickly learning another

How am I to know the sweet truth from a bitter lie?

Fuel is poured upon my fire

Understanding slips ever farther away

Lost is all I feel

Feeling abandoned

And not for the first or last time

I doubt more and more lately

The signs all seem to point to the worst

Hell takes root in my mind and I feel the weight of its sorrow

Finished with faith?

Used to be an idea I would not even begin to entertain

Lately however.....
