Poetry
Yesterday
Oh my God this excruciating pain
The rawness of the wound won’t subside
It’s become an open sore
Oozing from within deep inside
The scars have unsealed themselves
Gaping open with vengeance
Ragged edges won’t adhere
Blood flows in its ambience
Depression has seized control
With an iron clad grip
Ominous darkness prevails
Its hostility holds no bargaining chip
Emotions ride like a roller coaster
Unsettling thoughts haunts my mind
The only escape door I see
Has above it “Suicide”
Loneliness eats at my soul
Emptiness accompanies my bed
I hunger for companionship
Yet, sleep alone instead
I’ve watched those I love so dear leave
Some willingly, others in death
Desolation has dealt its hand
Merciless and full of wrath
Amidst my damning life
The gates of Hell have opened wide
Satan, himself, stands at the door
Smirking as he invites me inside
That’s where I have been encased
Imprisoned in a well laid trap
But somehow I’ve escaped
With retaliation I’ve come back
Satan, I’ll spread the word
Of your lies and deceit
I’ll shout to the world of what you do
I’ll also tell that you can be beat
Recovery from your calumniatory way
May be a slow and painful process
But it’s possible with Yahs help
Through His strength there is progress
Slowly, but surely I’m making ground
I’ve become a different, better person
Altered, changed from my experience
Saved through My Father and His Son
Yesterday, I believed I was damned to Hell
But today I know the solid way
I know the truth and in time will heal
I’ve never been abandoned by my God, Yahweh
Yesterday, I envisioned a world
Sheathed in so much pain and misery
Today, I see past the pain
For in His Truth I was set free

How many of us cry out, "Lord, I'm at the depth of despair" and in desperation cry out "Lord please take me home and end this sorrow" And then He reaches down and says, "Are you ready to give Me a chance with your life. Will you let Me have control and let Me show you what I had planned for your life? I created you for that life." If only everyone would give our Lord Jesus that chance! Hopefully others will read what you wrote and think about this.
ALL for the good of those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose... ALL to make the once-captive, oppressed and weakened people great in the kingdom of heaven. This is written in massive faith and it's powerful, powerful, powerful!
