Sharlotte Newan Poet I do not know?

I Stand Here Still

I stand here still 

against my will 

because Grief I am still in today 

drowning in it still, 

I can not left up my arms 

to comb my hair 

Grief is thick in the air, 

But what do I care 

I can see a light a head 

as I fight not to get 

back in bed, 

God light I see 

I am not blind 

as I try to unwind 

from my Grief, 



I stand still 

against my will 

because Grief I am still into today 

holding me against my will 

I need to drink more water today 

or try to eat food 

God light I see 

his love will feed me, 

as I get down on my knees 

Help me Lord please, 

no phone calls please 

I not in the mood today 

just go away, 



I stand still 

against my will 

because Grief I am still into today 

holding me against my will 

I will open up my Bible 

and read the book of Mathews 

with tears rolling down my cheek 

help from God I do seek 

his words help take me out 

of my Grief time and put me 

into a better state of mind, 



As I stand still 

against my will 

because Grief I am still into today.
