Knowing Denial Poem by Catherine Hendry

I KNOW I am strong
I am a fighter
I endure pain
I rebuke hate
I live with doubt
I cry dry tears
I feel no love
I dream of peace
I hide from myself
I KNOW I am lost from within
I beg for help
I seek serenity
I am accused of dishonesty
I pray for a cure
I long for acceptance
I live, feeling dead
I search for the end
I want a life, without pain, without doubt, without frowns
I want a life FULL of the goodness of God
I want a life FULL of the strength of faith
