Topic: ChristianPoetry



I am dead and gone now
I did this to myself
I cut, I drank, I didnt care
I put my life through hell

All the while I watched you
Doing the same thing
Before you turn away
Listen to the message I bring

It is lonely over here
Worse than you will ever dream
Smile once in awhile
It will boost your self-esteem

Do the things I didnt do
A little goes a long way
Look on the bright side
And dont listen to what they say

I wish I couldve known sooner
Before I wasted away
I felt stupid, worthless
Unloved, alone and betrayed

I couldnt see God clearly
But now the chance is gone
I just pray that you will do right
All that I did wrong

The pleasure you get from cutting
Is worthless over Here
Think ahead before youre dead
Is life as bad as it appears?

Time will heal the wound that bleeds
Give it a second chance
Give your live a meaning
Before giving it a passing glance

It feels so much better
To let someone take your pain
But a person just cant handle that
Though they try in vain

You want to feel protected
You want to be loved like I did
Clear you mind from the bruises and lies
And just trust in Him

I love you so much my friend
You know I always have
So why did you feel so unloved?
Were you going mad?

But no, I cannot judge you
I would be a hypocrite
Just remember that life is
Whatever you make it

I need to go now
I cannot stay here for long
Though my time is passed
I pray you will be strong

I tell you this so listen
Ill say a prayer for you
I hope that you will find happiness
In whatever you choose to do
