Anita Norwood Poet Blank verse

Dear God

I look into the sky every night, to find some meaning of my life. I know who I am, but what 
is my purpose here, all my life it has been one struggle after another. Never have I wanted 
so much to find God and ask what am I here to do now? Why is my life out of control? Why 
am I here? At 23 years old I need God more than ever I feel like I am losing my mind my 
self control the little control that I have. I pray that God help me, guide me in the right path 
and show me happiness I need him more than ever I look but I still can’t see. Every night I 
look up into the sky to see a sign but nothing, but the big full moon and the lovely bright 
stars. I’m looking, but still I can’t see, maybe what I’m looking for is right in front of me. 
Maybe I need to search under a rock or try to move a mountain than and only than I will find 
what I seek. But why do I feel like I ’m looking for answers that no one can give. I have so 
many questions but yet I do not know where to start, what will happen tomorrow for me, for 
us? Why do so many suffer? Why am I suffering? The biggest question of all why don’t God 
answer me? It is not like I’m asking for silver and gold, or something hard like world peace. I 
just want happiness for all especially my son. Well that is all for today just thinking out loud 
again.

Brandee Augustus September 25, 2008 at 12:00 PM Thank God you didn't waste too much of your life and you're asking these questions at 23. Your breakthrough is near because you are feeling the tight squeeze. Never give up on praying or on God because He has not given up on you. He will never leave you or forsake. I also agree with Rhoda. Joel Osteen is the perfect person to speak into your life right now. Give him a listen. Great poem!

Mohammad Yamin September 8, 2008 at 7:58 AM Dear Anita, Your Poem Dear God written in Blank Verse is soul stirring. From time immemorial men of learning are in quest of deciphering the purpose of creation. The conclusions are varied. Different people have said different things. A renowned eastern poet says: "Human beings are created to feel the pains of others". So far the sayings can not be called into question. But the search is still on. A very thought provoking write. Thanks for admiring my poem Just Say: My Love Come to Me -Mohammad

Joseph Spence Sr September 5, 2008 at 2:34 PM This poem flows well. I like the way your thoughts are organized. Job in the Bible never gave up on God. He held on until his change came about. Keep praying and have faith. God will answer your prayers. Don't give up. Welcome to PoetrySoup. Great job! ~Joseph

Michael Jordan August 31, 2008 at 5:09 AM Anita - I hurt my back over two years ago - When I went to the doctors office I learned that I needed surgery so they did blood work - I came back Hep C positive - My point is there are no answers as to why we suffer we must just learn to make it all as positive as we can - I published 4 books for the Lord during that time - I posted a poem called "I Would Write a Song" - Please give it a read - God Bless
