My Hurt Poem by Wolkine Stany

Twenty-four with two full time jobs plus the Navy reserves,
I'm young but sometimes I wonder, 'where's the fun that I deserve? '
I'm no ordinary young man
Sometimes I try to figure myself out, but it's so hard to understand
Even though my heart is with God and my life is in His hands,
I sometimes find myself slipping away and drowning in quicksand
People call me boring for being a Christian,
They mock me and criticize my mission,
They try to ridicule my passion to serve this God that I am serving
However, I always try to stand my ground,
I always remind them that I was once lost but now I'm found
I sometimes feel like a failure because I have been divorce,
People blatantly use that against me with no shame or remorse
I am often heart broken and scared to love again
Been single ever since, but I'm longing for companionship deep within
I just want someone who will admire me as a man,
and appreciate my hard work
I want someone who will be by my side and help me heal from my hurt
Like a typical man, I don't like to show my emotions but I'm a very emotional creature
The more I hold in my pain, the more it's cutting me deeper
In conclusion, don't count this as a weakness because in my weakness I find strength in my God that I call Jesus.
