I Will Stand Again
These past two weeks I felt as if weight was being put on my shoulders.
Something was pulling me down to the ground.
Each time I got up, I got knocked down harder,
that only made me get up faster.
I felt the pain, but knew there was no other way.
As my eyes filled with tears,
I could feel the burn, I could feel the warmth of my tears running down my face.
Touching my lips so gently, only for me to let out a cry.
I would take deep breaths, in and out to try and calm down.
The crisp fall air, filling my lungs.
I could see my friends, and sister each look at me with nothing but sorrow in their eyes,
as if they had taken on my pains.
But then I felt something that words cannot describe,
I was being put these obstacles for a reason.
I would figure out a way to get back up, wipe the tears, and stand on my own.
It may take some time,
I may stumble again,
I may even shed a few more tears.
But HE has helped me back up,
But HE has helped me back up,

You're His child. Never truly alone.
ReplyDeleteThat is true. HE is always there.
DeleteWhen I was in a devastating accident sixteen years ago, my family's pain was worse to me than the pain I was feeling myself, which was pretty significant. Your poem made me think of how that felt.
