Why I Act This Way Poem by liz haines

All I wanted was to talk to a friend,
But on u I simply couldn't depend.
I asked u if u were mad at me,
But all u said is 'I got places to be.'
I really was in extreme need of a hug,
But u made me feel lower then the dirt on a rug.
I stood in the rain at the dumpster and cried,
And thought not a soul would care if I died.
I went home, got a shower and went to my room,
Glum, cheerless and filled with gloom.
I cried and cried and cried some more,
Then I sat down with a plop on my floor.
I didn't know what to do so I prayed,
It seems like God's answer must be delayed.
I just want someone to care,
And to always, always be there.
I want to have a good friend,
One on which I can depend.
I wrote this for u so u know how I feel.
I feel lonely and broken like I'll never heal.
This is how I felt before God came along,
He made me happy and gave me a song.
He said 'don't worry about them,
On me u can always depend.
I don't like seeing u sad,
But no earthly thing can make u truly glad.'
I said 'I don't understand,
Your visit is not what I planned.'
God explained how He heard my every prayer,
And how He watched the world treat me unfair.
He told how He wanted to help me,
And how He would set me free.
I accepted Christ that day,
That is why I act this way.
If your saved God can heal you to.
God knows everything your going through.
If your not saved well than you probably felt like i did.
I thought i wouldn't die cuz i was only a kid.
But then a pastor got it in my head.
When in his sermon he loudly said,
If your not saved than when you die,
You won't meet Christ up in the sky.
You will go to a sinners hell for all eternity.
You won't be able to see Gods celestial city.
You won't be able to get saved it will be too late.
You will burn forever and the pain will be great.
I was scared to die,
So scared it made me cry.
I ran out in the rain,
Hoping I could hide my pain.
I wanted a comforting friend,
But I knew God was just helping me mend.
That night wen I went home I finally got saved!
So glory to God I'm finally saved!
If your not saved get saved today,
I wouldn't want your life to end a bad way!
