I Searched

I searched for the answers that never appeared
In the darkness of my soul I held all my fears
Feelings of rejected, unloved, unwanted
Followed me all my life and in everything I did
Trying to please everyone but never me
For in this dark place in my soul I felt it was how it was to be
Trying to save the world and loosing me
I now see that was not the plan set for me

In the darkness a flicker of light appeared
It nestled in my spirit and soon darkness disappeared
I found a path that day
I held out my hand and He showed me the way
No longer do I feel unwanted or unloved
I walk in His light and His love
