God

God, can you hear me calling? Can you hear me calling out for you?
I am begging and pleading to be rescued
I do not know what else to do 

God, can you send me a gush of wind so that I can catch my breath?
I am suffocating inside myself
Gasping for air as I inhale satin bringing me to my death

God, can you make it rain so that it will wash away the tears falling from my eyes?
Every time I try to escape I fail
And another part of me dies

God, can you hold out your hand for me because I have fallen onto the floor?
Please lead me to salvation
I don’t want to live inside this hell anymore

God, can you forgive me for all of my sins?
Please give me another chance
Or else satin wins

God, can you pick me up so that i can  stand tall?
I have grown so weak
And I feel so small

God, can you bless me with a miracle so that I know that you are real?
I have grown so numb
And afraid to feel

God, can you love me because I am lost and alone?
Please do not give up on me
This is all I have ever known

God, can you protect me from myself for I am who I most fear?
I am my own worst enemy
And I often push people away whenever they get near

God, can you help me find myself because I don’t know who I am anymore?
I no longer recognize my own reflection 
I am not the same person I had been before 

God, can you hear me calling and do you hear me when I pray?
Please remove the shackles of my past
So that I no longer have to feel this way

Hi Danielle~ A touching poem for sure! God is always with you. Trust! Believe! Talk to Him~ you are His creation.. (Just sharing what it's like for me.) I have been to hell and back, Change is a constant in our lives. He was there all the time. When others hurt you, He never deserted you)) I just wasn't listening in my case...and I felt bereft. Panagiota.

God can handle the toughest questions. But I'm also reminded he is a Sovereign and not a Genie!
