No More

by brando31 - Not entered

I wander this lonely world,
Trying to find peace.
Looking for someone, something,
To cause this pain to cease.

I'm lost without love,
I'm nothing to anyone.
For my life no one's ever cared.
Love to me no one's ever shared.

I look to the past,
Pain unending.
The hardships and struggles,
There from the beginning.

I've been shown no love,
I've been told no truths.
I've been lied to constantly,
Too much pain I've been through.

But I can't understand.
Where did I go wrong?
Did I not do what was right?
Was I to blame for my constant strife?

No, I tell myself.
It was never me.
I only did what I thought was right.
I gave my love with forever in sight.

I did my best,
Trying to care.
But in return,
I received despair.

I gave my love,
In hopes of getting theirs.
But the happiness never came,
My heart they did tear.

I reflect each night,
Asking many questions.
But to these there are no answers,
The pain inside becomes a cancer.

I'm left to wonder why,
And left with torturous thoughts.
Was I always so foolish,
To believe in the love I sought?

But then I look to God,
And answers come to me.
It's all a part of His awesome plan,
To make me what He wants me to be.

I submit my life to Him,
Because I know that He's the Way.
He shows me love unconditional,
And my love for Him will never stray.

He gives me life abundant,
Sent His Son to die for me.
The blood that dripped from that cross,
Paid my penalty.

He's worthy of my praise,
And worthy of my life.
He created all and everything,
His joy relieves my strife.

Thankful to Him, yes I am.
Why shouldn't I be?
He's done everything for me,
And now I'm finally free.

The past still causes hurt,
But the future brings forth joy.
For God has promised eternal life,
No more tears, forever joy.

I give to Him my all,
And know I'll get it back.
For He promised to never forsake,
His love I'll never lack.

To keep my faith,
I know that someday I'll receive.
A girl will walk into my life,
And a love unto us will cleave.

The sorrow is now gone,
The pain a distant memory.
For the God of Heaven above,
Gave His life for me.

Reason for writing:

    I gave my life to God, and it has been awesome since. I used to be sad all of the time, but God gets rid of that sorrow, and I know that someday all the pain of the past will be no more, because I will meet the girl God has planned for me...
