Late Night Poetry

God, Don’t Let Me Fall

God, help me understand

That this is what you’ve planned.

Help me to believe

Even when others in my life leave.

 

Remind me of your love

That I need to be part of

Don’t let me turn my back

Help me to stay on track.

 

Help me to rely on you

Even when I’m feeling blue

When it feels like a hole in my heart

Remind me to not start

Falling back into that depression pit

It seems so easy to just quit.

 

I want to give up

Just close up

Throw my life away

I pray

That someone would care

Anyone out there…

 

But sometimes I feel

Like I must be surreal

Invisible to all

Nobody hears my call.

 

Remind me of your love

Which I am so undeserving of

Lord, take my hand,

And help me get through what you have planned.

I know if you bring me to it,

You can bring me through it.

Please, God, don’t let me fall,

Take my hand and help me through it all.

Resentment

How much energy do I spend everyday resenting certain things the people around me do? I’ll never know. I do know that I am challenged everyday to fight it, to stop letting the little things get to me. It has taken me sixteen years too long to realize I am only hurting myself. By holding your feelings in and getting mad at stupid little things, you’re only hurting yourself. The person or persons who are bothering you will never have a clue you are even mad. Don’t sweat the small stuff, and don’t cry over spilled milk!
