My Way Back To Hope Poem by John Sensele

Pain in my heart
Wears me down, tears me apart
Although I try hard to fight tears
Plunging my world into a sea of fears
I struggle to minimize
Much as me they criticize
When all I do is to give them love
I harvest for them from above
To inject in me strength
Projecting more vim into my faith
Lest my body and mind should give up
The more poison trickles into the cup
My lips spurn and turn away
Seeking in earnest for the way
Back to my Redeemer
And away from despondency that grows dimmer
The more I call on God
To whisk me away from the pod
Erected in walls of unbelief
Crated in mounds of the mischief
That needs to die
Or else I'll forever cry
If trivia should take over my mind
And for good drive me blind.
