Anyone

Lord, I think I've mentioned some challenges to my faith. Did you really mean that you would never foresake me?  If that is true, why do I feel alone in a crowd?   Why do I feel alone with family and friends?   Why do I feel safer alone? I want to love somebody, I don't want to need any one.   To need makes you vulnerable.   To need strips away your power.   To need makes you indebted.   To need enslaves.   I want to love somebody.   I don't want to need anyone. I want to love somebody.   I want to know their very consciousness. I want to know, what is their joy.   What can I do to help them find such?   I want to know all, yes all, their hopes and dreams.   I want to be the one holding their hand when dreams become reality.   I want to love somebody.   I don't want to need anyone. I want to love somebody.   I want to know what is it that drives them to keep moving forward when the world stops.   I want to hold them when they scream out in pain.   I want to see them through when their future's brightness dims.   I want to be their helper and best friend.   I want to love somebody.   I want to love somebody.   I don't want to need anyone. I want to love somebody.   I don't want to need anyone.   I want to love somebody.   I don't want to need anyone.   I want to love somebody.   I don't want to need anyone. Lord, I need you. I trust you. I love you.

Strong faith and desire for independence. Sometimes it's difficult to see the good in the long run.

I'm sure God has a sense of humor. The same thing that you fight against the most is what you end up needing the most. For years and years I told myself I didn't need anybody to be happy. So what happens I get a disease where my body falls apart and have to have somebody care for me 24/7 eventually. Basically I end up needing somebody. God has a wicked sense of humor.

Had to return to familiar forms of poetry. Needed more support. Felt like shaky footings.

A suggestion - "I don't know" is not an appreciated form here. Your poem is beautiful:) If you split the lines where you have placed the full stop, it would make a lyric, I guess - A beautiful lyric:)

Someone's trying to teach me patience. I have always lacked that.
