Haunted

Haunting dreams of what
could have been encompasses
my hope in darkness

The desires of my
heart continue to elude
me unceasingly

Leaving me to feel
as though I’m being punished
for my existence

I can’t comprehend
why my efforts at gaining
serenity fail

Still, I continue
striving for goals I haven’t
obtained, beseeching

The Almighty for
wisdom and patience so I’m
worthy of His grace
