Is It Me? Poem by Ashlie LiveYourLife

I don't know what I did to get to the point I am now. I continue on crying, but I still keep on trying to dig my self out of this never ending hole. But instead, the ground shifts beneath my feet, only causing me to sink deeper. The hardend walls enclosing my fear around me. I scream for help, pleading and praying someone, anyone, will answer my cries. No answer. I finally realize i'm truly uterly alone. Left behind from the others. I want to keep up but if I run after, they run faster. I fall to my knees unable to reach out any further. No one returns. No one comes back to help me to my feet and show me the light. The hope that I desperately crave. I don't deserve it though. I finally understand the true cause of my pain and suffering. Its me. It always has been. Why else would I be left so alone and forgotten? I'm to far down to rise up from the ashes of my sorrow, so i just continue to do wrong. Finally my aching soul is let free from the pain. I understand now, the true answer to reileving my miserable body and mind was not the path I chose. But the answer was something that was there all along. Something I knew had been there, but had no faith in. The answer is the lord. And it will forever be, no matter who you are.
