What Now? Poem by Stasia Cayla

As I stand in my dark room
I ask myself
'What now? '
I'm stuck and I don't know where to go

I walk towards my friends
Asking them to help
They fade away and leave me alone again

I walk towards worldly things
And they embrace me
Holding me for a moment
Before rejecting me and throwing me back out on my own

I walk towards God
And He holds me close
I ask Him where I'm going
But He is silent
I push away and walk on my own

I can take care of myself
I always have
And always will
