RE: For all of us who struggle.............a POEM


Nope............but if I ever do try to publish any of my numerous poems, I'll definitley be doing it under a pen name.

Welcome.

It just seems like there are so many of us struggling in some way.  I  guess it was a plea for everyone to be blessed with peace of mind and happiness.......

Thanks Raven.   It was one of those that simply popped into my head.  I guess my inner muse was needing a release of sorts.

WEARINESS
by B.E.N.

Tonight I can't sleep
As my mind twirls about
Running off on tangents
Casting shadows of doubt 

I'm tired of no movement
So damn weary of time
My soul screams in frustration
Will peace ever be mine? 

I have so much to offer
And plenty to gain
If only I could finally
Circumvent this pain 

Instead I just sit here
Alone in the dark
Confusion reigns supreme
As tears make their mark 

Oh!  To be happy and whole
Once again in my life
Will God ever answer my cries
And soothe my souls' strife? 

Have mercy, my Lord
On me and others I do pray
Please grace us with peace
As the dawn starts a new day
