The Within

In the depths of my heart Hidden beyond the brokenness of my soul Resides my fragile trampled spirit Clinging to my last strand of control I can feel the lifeforce decaying slowly As the creeping numbness within spreads And incognitive random thoughts Do a tap dance in my head. Ive silently tucked my prayers away Deep in the unanswered files Finally realizing no savior is coming I feel i knew all the while. People see me from a distance But dont truly see the turmoil in me How im barely living out my existance Locked inside the misery of me. So its behind fences so very high I choose to keep the rest of the world out Born to die alone without love And then denied heaven no doubt.

We have much in common you and I. It was like reading my own words of the past. And even sometimes now. At my lowest I would remind myself that Jesus died for everyone ...what would I be saying about the worth of his blood if I kept telling myself I was not worth being forgiven; or had sinned too much to be forgiven? I did not consider myself to have worth even to God. You have touched my heart this morning Carl. Be at peace my friend :)

Wow, that's just too deep my friend. Hope it's only a poem. I'd hate to think this is how you really feel. Always seek those you love, and care for. You are worth more than you'll ever know.... Linda

Thank you for saying that Linda. Sometimes i feel like my only worth is in the eyes of God and maybe thats all i need. I dont know. Blessings Carl
