Why is life so hard? (soar to freedom)
Folder:
-1- Christian Poems/Prayers etc Why is life so hard?
Too many times I have opened my heart
Only to have it ripped apart
No matter how hard I seem to try
I look in the mirror and I just want to die…
My soul aches
My heart quakes
I'm just another ant in the grass
Hidden behind thousands
Trying not to be last…
Searching for food
For the queen who controls me…
And all I want is to be set free
I work all day and work all night
I'm starving for love that might
Someday fall upon my lap
And fill this void this widened gap
Inside my shell
It burns like hell
How can I escape from this wretched anthill?
No one even knows that I exist
If I were to die I wouldn't be missed
And then…
My heart begins to untwist
I'm unfamiliar with this emotion
What is the notion,
of this man who looks my way?
Surely He can't like me - I'm a horrid display…
I hide my face, my heart, myself
Who is He, to care for this elf?
He'll only hurt me and throw me aside
As soon as He's through He'll destroy my pride
Once and for all
Down I'll fall…
My innocence…
My existence…
Destroyed…
Then suddenly He comes to where I am
Reaches out and holds my hand
He speaks silent words through his eyes
He will never forsake me nor despise
He died on a cross to save me from corruption
And free me from the Queen's seduction
I don't have to be an ant anymore
I can be free like a bird and soar
Soar to the Heavens…
To acceptance…
to freedom…
To my God
who set me free...

So many people have felt like this, but it is so hard to give yourself to God. It's so hard to lay down and give him control some people would just rather live their lives for themselves with them in control rather than give it to anybody.
I loved this poem because right now I'm indecisive about what road to travel. To god or down the path that leads by my rules. Thank you for allowing me to associate to your words.
