Never Alone Poem by Courtney Anders

Never Alone
I waited and listened, with no reply,
I stood in silence, yet I heard no cry
I once had the strength, yet now I’m weak,
I climbed the mountain but I never breached
You told me to call out to you, to reach for you,
Yet I felt that you never showed me what to say or do

Even though I feel abandoned, am I? ,
Though I feel weak, am I left to die?
You promised me you’d never hide,
You vowed that I was your life
My angel, you saved me, but am I stone? ,
Now I know that you’re with me and I’m never alone
Never alone in this cold place,
Never abandoned in this dark space
You have brought me forward with so much to give,
Never alone, I have you, at last I can live.

Do you see what I’m going through, why I feel trapped? ,
Not a single soul can fix what I’ve unwrapped
I once sang with such glorious beauty, now I’m silent,
What shall I do, if I’m done fighting?
You said I was strong with a voice so beautiful,
Yet my voice seems cracked, useless and vulnerable

I may feel alone in this battle, so am I? ,
I feel useless, powerless, a song ready to die
I was deemed worthy of a gift that I needed to share,
But should I release it, should I even care?
Thy angel, you are here with me, to lead me with strength,
I finally know that I’m never alone, that he gives me faith
Never alone to live out my dream to embrace my voice,
Never abandoned to lead my life and every choice
You have raised me from my ashes of fears,
Never alone will I have to fight the tears.
