Paul Williams Iii Poet Bio

Before Sunrise

I tossed and turned endlessly trying to find comfort but only found discomfort
before sunrise
I battled thoughts that challenged my convictions and morals that nearly drove 
me crazy
before sunrise
I struggled to fall asleep for the third night in a row 
before sunrise
I thought about the people who wronged me in my past,present,and future and 
wondered how I would seek revenge
before sunrise 
I wondered what life would be like if I would have never lost my 
little brother to a car accident
before sunrise 
I was haunted by former sins that I committed and that I tried to erase from my 
memory but were being used by the enemy to torment me
before sunrise
I paced the floor anxiously wondering how bills were going to be paid
before sunrise
I wondered if the physical beauty I lost in a recent car accident would ever be 
restored 
before sunrise 
I grew depressed because I felt alone and no one loved me 
before sunrise
I was confronted by my insecurities and questioned my worth
before sunrise
I searched endlessly for peace but only found confusion
before sunrise
I hid in shame hoping that the temporary darkness of the night would be 
permanent and cover the shame,torture,and confusion I had suffered  
throughout the night
But the sun arose and I got up with it
Its bright rays illuminated my mind and allowed me to see 
Today is a new day 
Last night was My Last night of 
Pain
