Your Not In Vane Poem by Britney Hogue

I know how it feels,
Like you can’t go on.
The pain of the world
Has pushed you too far,
And now you can’t find your feet.
You hit rock bottom,
And the only productive things
Are the flowing tears.

I know you wish
All would go away forever.
You could spare yourself
From the world’s problems,
And end your seemingly pointless life.
What would that gain,
But just more pain and grief
For the ones you impact.

Don’t think nobody cares,
Because someone does.
Many people care a lot.
You’re just too blind to see them.
I care enough to write,
And take the time to understand.
God cared plenty enough
To make you for your life here.

We all have our purpose.
Some know just what to do,
But other haven’t discovered yet
The plans he has written.
One’s life is only in vane
If you choose to end it
By self inflicted casualty,
Otherwise you are needed in this life.
