Wondering
I feel myself buckling under a weight I cannot bear,
With a heart too cold to care,
And a mind that isn’t there.
Watching my life as from a distance.
Unable to use any resistance,
To the way I’m tossed about.
I learn to live without,
The warmth of a common soul.
Who’ll journey on this path I go,
And feed this dying light of hope,
I shield with my last resolve.
And wonder to myself out loud,
Why I don’t just run and hide ?
Cower in a corner of my fragile mind.
Why is it that I still fight ?
With no good reason in my sight.
Why do I get up and go on ?
Despite the times I’ve been knocked down.
Why do I let myself love again ?
When I’ve felt the pain of a lovers sting.
In this sadistic twist of fate,
When often what I love become what I hate.
And torn apart in this triune war,
Between my body, mind and soul.
Each with their own separate desires
And neither one is ever truly satisfied.
I learnt to take this all in my stride.
Because I have far to go tonight,
And can’t stop now to find out why.

I have found out why, the only reason why, is Jesus. Without him I would never have the streagth to keep on going.

That is a good poem, Meg, and I can relate to most of it - except the love part. I've been at that place where I cared about nothing, even myself. My soul was completely numb and full of pain at the same time. That was when I felt God's calling and it is what has saved me...just like the old song Amazing Grace.

I love how this is the opposite of God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit in perfect harmony) and results in the never being satisfied (the worm that never dies)

I love even more that you figured out Jesus is the answer. Great poem, heart felt honesty is a vanishing quality nowdays
