No Longer For Sale
I am at a point of no return,
My whole life under attack
I must endure all these trials,
And I can never look back
I can't go at this on my own,
My life no longer for sale
Every time I've ever tried on my own,
Is every time I've ever failed
So I called out to God for help,
"Please show me what to do!
Because without your love and guidance,
I'll be doomed, and won't make it through."
Broken, bruised, and battered,
I drop to my knees
Screaming out in pain and agony,
"God, help me please!!!"
I can never go back,
Back to the person who I used to be
Now that I have finally experienced peace,
Now I am finally free.
About this poem
Recently, I've come to find a purpose in my life. I've never really had one. This is about me crying out for help and actually finding it for once in my life. I then figured out all those other times I cried out and thought I was being ignored, I was really not listening and trying to do things on my own terms. If I couldn't have it my way, I didn't want it.
