Faith

KookieKatie · 2008-12-23T21:59:54Z

This poem is about keeping faith through rough times. Please do not use this poem and your reviews of this poem to bash on Christianity, as this is neither the time nor the place for that sort of talk. Thank you. THIRD draft; here goes! You told me it was fine You said I’d be all right And with you there at my side I couldn't see the night But then evil came And took away the light And the cold hand of fear Gripped me far too tight But now I think you’ve gone And I’ve no one else to follow So as I step into the dark My heart feels dead and hollow Should I give up my faithful self? Go past the point of no return? Should I walk through the fire And hope that I won’t burn? What awaits me in the flame That tempts my senses so? What makes me want to jump on in When I’m feeling low? Will inner torment await me there? Or will it be pure, sweet bliss? Will I find my happiness there, Will I find nothing amiss? Is there any way I can be joyful If I’m living the life of sin? If I live in complete darkness How can any light be let in? If I give up my inner faith Will I be content in my sorrow? And if I keep my faith Will there be more pain tomorrow? In all my confusion And all my deepest loss How can I pay homage To the Lord upon the cross?

Hi Katie, I'm new to this site and poetry really isn't my forte, but I think this poem will really speak to a lot of people going through the same thing, and it's really honest. I know you're maybe hoping for some constructive criticism but I don't really have any, I just think sometimes it's encouraging to just know that your work is having an effect on people...doncha think?

Anyways, good work, I enjoyed it.
