Love Restores Peace

At 8:30 AM, "Get up, LAURA! Charlie! Wake up...Robert...Wake up." No reply...no reply...just ignore my wake up calls...yell at me all you want You make me cry...cry...just shatter me like glass...you place me in the trash, but I still feel this discontent Deep inside of me... There's a sea of remorse swirling around me... At 12:15 AM, "Hey Laura!" No reply...no reply... "What are you doing?" I just want to cry...a river...why? She still ignores me...now I'm feeling the anxiety... She still jokes around with me, but I feel so angry...and so empty... She's texting her friends again...I must talk to her sometime She still doesn't answer my calls...she doesn't care to wipe off my grime Sponging inside of me... I guess I'm left with my chores for today My heart is swelling up in dismay...and my sky turns to gray And I pray...for relief and I just want to say... I love my sisters and brothers, but they truly don't care for me...or at least that's what I think till this very day This lonesome feeling sufficates me... Go ahead and ignore me, sister You just added another blister In my mouth, my hopelessness avalanches all over the ground You make me frustrated...and now my head spins round and round And I feel bound... By stress and torment! Go ahead and neglect my voice My heart is seeping out misery...pumping with fret... while you text your friends and rejoice In my head, my painstaking regrets torture me profoundly You don't care to listen - live your life without me My soul is left in the cold... Oh! Go ahead! Let me mold...mold... I worry about you, sister... But you left me to dry like glue...you made me suffer don't beg to differ... Go ahead! Blow fire in my direction... I warn you...you don't want to see an eruption I don't want to be ensnared by my corruption... Please God...pick me off from the ground... and show me some direction Or I'll be broken down like the titanic... And You don't wanna see me panic... Panic... At 1:00 AM, I decide to pray to God for protection... I pray...I pray... I wait for His reply.......................... He helped me fight my depression wars He unchained me from the cage... and taught me how to fly He cherished me... He understood me and He still does till this day... He healed my sores... And He doesn't ignore my calls! He makes me feel content even in the midst of hardships - I pray...I wait...I cry... For His comfort daily... to nourish me when I feel ignored Or when I'm stabbed in loathe... I pray that Your peace be restored In our family once more. I wait For peace To fix the broken glass...to fix the emotions breaking us all I pray For the chaos to cease To make the whole world rejoice...to encourage us to stand tall Will love make us whole again?
