I Am Weak

He waits for an answer I cannot give
I am indecisive, I am weak

It seems through depression- I only live
I can only cry, I hardly speak


I overreact about everything- I'm doing it now
I never know what to say

The tears I cry, I don't know how
but they never come out during the day


Almost like I'm wired to hide my pain
to hide everything I feel

That's not right, and even then it's in vain
When I barely "have time" to kneel

Early morning reading to get the mind buzzing. Thank you for sharing your excellent poetry J. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope to see more of your poetry when I get back to the Soup Monday. Usually pretty busy on the weekends with family so don't get to read much. Love, Carol

Shedding tears is like the washing of the soul crying out for recognition- we are all worthy of love- our journey is to find balance in all our emotions, to come to a place where we can understand and make choices based on, not emotion, but on what is right. God hears our hearts cry and will come into our heart only when we let Him. He is the best lover of our souls. Blessings, bren
