Some days we all feel alone. It doesn’t matter that people surround us, or that we drive by them, work with them, and talk with them. We just feel alone. “And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.” (Gen. 2:18) God said these words though He was already here (Gen. 1:1) and the animals were also created (Gen. 1:20-25) when man was created (Gen. 1:27). We were not meant to be alone. The Lord God Almighty can bring us to a place where we never feel alone again. I can attest to this by my own life. Here are some poems of mine to show my journey with Him.
Untitled (1981- age14)
I am here
Alone
All by myself.
No one enters,
And I
Remain alone.
Alone (1995, age 28) Never Alone (2003- age 36)
I burn in the fire She walks alone
Alone To the beat of a different drum.
My flesh consumed No one notices her
With pain As she walks by
Melting away to nothing But a little smile
And no one knows Plays on her lips.
I drown in the flood She stands alone
Alone In the midst of the crowded room
Engulfed in water that Not really fitting in.
Fills my lungs She understands that
No room is left for air The choices she made
And no one sees Alienates her from others.
Caged with wild beasts She sits alone
Alone Often: when at school and at work.
They tear chunks of meat Others wonder why
From my bones She is so different
I am exposed to all For she doesn’t
And no one cares Behave the way they do.
Seized by my enemies She kneels alone
Alone In the darkness of her room
Body and soul tormented Lifting her voice in prayer
As they jeer For all those she knows
My body is beaten and bruised And those she does not.
And no one helps She is not alone.
Long nails pierced His hands She is never alone.
Alone
Humiliated , betrayed, beaten
And whipped
His blood poured out for me
He died to help
He will help me.
You are not alone.
You are never alone.
