Losing It All Poem by Jake Gollon

What left is there to gain?
All is lost on this day of rain,
Drying tears and coping with
a heavy adolescent pain.

I stand distraught in question, hoping for a sign.
I stand below in darkness where he used to light the sky
For my friend the moon tonight has left me out to dry.
I stand below in darkness, but could not tell you why.

Eyelids clenched forevermore,
So not to burn my eyes by day.
Lonely on this floor indoors,
Saddened I will stay.

Are you familiar with the feeling?
Surrounded, yet alone.
For prayer I've dropped to kneel,
Now faith is all I own.
