Emotions

Shock and disbelief
Seeing the evils of the world
Facts and statistics
Overwhelm my mind

Relieved to have been spared
But guilty of dumb complaints
Why would I deserve better,
While others suffer so much worse?

Learning His intention
For children and families
But seeing the reality
Is so far from His will

Depressed and hopeless
What difference could I make?
I can’t do it.
It’s too big for me.

Anger and betrayal
You could stop this!
What are you doing?
Why don’t you act?

Hurt and alone
Why am I even here?
Searching, seeking
But wanting to give up

Stubborn and determined
I’ll set out on my own.
Try to be strong
But I can’t do it!

I need you!
I need to be filled with your love
I want to hear your voice
I will go where you lead.
