It seems as though my heart has stopped.
I feel as if I've been left behind,
With all these thoughts torturing my mind.

At times it feels like it's only a dream,
And then I realize that I'm no longer free.
It's lonely and painful behind these prison walls,
Hoping that loved ones accept my calls.

After code when the lights go out,
I'm left stunned and without a doubt.
I've been isolated and locked in a cell for something I really didn't do,
I've been wrongfully accused.

But when it seems as though it will never end,
And all I need is a caring friend.
Through times of feeling lonely and bored,
All I need is to call upon the Lord...

Call Upon The Lord

Dear Michael,
What a wonderfully written poem, Michael.
I really enjoyed reading it and I could feel what it was you were trying to relate.
You are so wise to learn early and without regret to turn to him and never sweat. He tells us to throw our burdens on him and never will he allow us to totter. I can do that, but always take them back...Leave them there Michael and then don't turn back.
This was a marvelously written poem

THANKS for sharing your poem
may I share this song with you......

YOU know when troubles are all around you
we seem to keep our mind on them.and soemtimes it makes it worse doing so,but if we can keep our mind on GOD and seek his answers and his will for our life then things will get better....so here is the song he gave me...

DONT LEAN ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING

When troubles are all around
my eyes are filled with pain
my heartaches with sadness
as the tears fall like rain
but then I heard
a voice say to me
dont lean on your own understanding.

CHORUS:
He says look to me
my ways are higher
look to me
I can make your days brighter
have a much better plan
then you could ever dream
just dont lean on your own understanding

Just close your eyes
to the things that are around
and know they are not of me
I said in my word
to just lean on me
and not on your own understanding
chorus again.

Have faith my child
I will be there till the end
just lean on me
and give me your hand
when you look around
you will see all the pain
look to me my child
im throwing you the ring.
chorus again.

I'll get you out
just look to me
and not on your own understanding
I said look to me
and you will see
that my ways are much better for thee.
chorus again.......

take care write me if you like..i will write back sandy......
