WHY AM I HERE?

Author: Unknown

WHAT AM I LIVING FOR, WHY AM I HERE,
WHY DOES TROUBLE, ALWAYS SEEMS NEAR?
WHY DID MY LOVED ONES, HAVE TO GO AWAY,
AND LEAVE ALL THIS PAIN, IN MY HEART TODAY?
SOMETIMES I FEEL I HAVE NO ONE LEFT,
LIKE I'M OUT IN A JUNGLE, ALL BY MYSELF!
I FEEL LIKE I'M ABOUT TO LOSING CONTROL,
ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS THE PAIN,
BUT I CAN SEE THE SUN IS YET SHINING,
AND I BELIEVE IT WILL SHINE AGAIN!
I KNOW THERE'S AN ANSWER SOMEWHERE
I TRULY BELIEVE THERE IS,
I BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMEONE
WHO CAN WIPE AWAY MY TEARS!
CAN YOU HEAR ME JESUS??
CAN YOU FEEL MY PAIN??
PLEASE LIFT THIS HEAVY BURDEN,
SO I MAY LIVE AGAIN!!!.....LILLIE

About this poem:

They say that time heals all wombs, but I dont really think so. Because it has been years since I lost my mommy and my only child, my son, and the pain that I yet feel, is still as fresh as it was in 1987 (my mom),...and 2002 (my son ).They carried a piece of my heart with them! I was very close to my mom and my son. May they both R.I.P.I love you both! Miss you too!

in poetry so its good that you're
expressing it in that form.

Yes, very sad past.
Poems are amazing the way they can bring up to the surface emotions otherwise difficult to express.

Cherokyee, I don't know if we ever truly get over loss, I have known your pain, but I believe that over time the loss changes us and forms parts of our soul needed to survive "in a jungle of lonliness". This was very loving and honest, God bless you and all of us! Jade
