Hopeless

The past is behind me but I can’t forget
All the things I had done the words that were said.
The pain is inside me it won’t leave me alone
I hope today God calls me home.
The pain I can’t handle it’s just too much
Your comfort won’t help not even your touch.
I felt all alone even though I’ve been told 
God will watch over me my hand He will hold.
Why can’t you hear me the prayers I’ve said?
Each night while I kneel down by my bed.
My parents won’t listen I don’t think they care
I’m wishing, hoping, and praying You’re there.
Please watch my every step I take
For when I slip it’s the errors I make.
I disappoint my parents, I disappoint the world,
I disappoint myself, but most of all I disappoint the Lord.
I want to say I’m sorry I don’t know what to say
Please Lord just be there and tell me it’s okay.
My world is falling all around me I feel so alone and scared
I just want to know before I leave if someone out there cared.

Andria, God cares and so do many others in the world, even people who have never met you. Stay strong. Youth is a difficult time in life. There are so many choices to make. Previously, others made most decisions for you. Your desire to choose right is a great start. Keep the word of God close to your heart. Repent of errors and forgive yourself. God will bring you peace. Go forth each new day with a fresh slate and choose right ways. Andria, God does love you. Lovingly, Dane Ann
