Bad Outweighing Good Poem by Allysyn Bryant

It’s becoming increasingly harder to see the good beyond the bad.
There’s so much that’s becoming too difficult to deal with, I’m losing the good.
For every good thing, there are three more bad things to take it out.
Now I’m not the religious sort, (and that may be the problem)
But I’ve got to say Dear God, if you truly exist out there…
Help me. Guide me and open my eyes, please, help me see,
Where the good is hidden within the bad. I know it’s there…
Give me strength to find. Give me strength to deal with the rest
Make this heart stop hurting. My head aching, can you hear me now?
This may be a lot to ask of you now, considering the time it’s been since…
I don’t say my nightly prayers every night, as I probably should.
I don’t go to church to worship you every Sunday, like most do.
For that I’m sorry. Maybe I’ll change that. But for tonight, my Lord.
I ask for forgiveness. I ask for guidance. I ask for help from you.
For many years, I’ve blamed you, for unfortunate events in my life.
I shouldn’t of. I know that now. Dear God, help me now.
