Trials and Tribulations

Trials and Tribulations

A Poem by Jeff

Start asking questions

Demanding answers

I need to find balance

I need to find the path

God is trying to get my attention

I keep looking the other way

Trials and tribulations

Over the years

Has my soul beaten down


How much more can I take?


I'm looking for peace

Peace in a bottle

Peace in p***y

Peace in others acceptance

I can't seem to find what I need

Is it in front of me

Has it been this whole time

I've been blinded by the dark

Unwilling to leave the misery


Can I change?


Three words that seem impossible

Honest question

Loaded with so much turmoil

What will it take

To wake up and see

The path I'm on

Isn't getting any easier

I can't keep running around in the darkness

I need to turn the page before it's too late

we all take a wander through the darkness at some point - searching for who knows what - I like the questions - how much can I take - looking for peace but trapped by misery - can I change - an impossible possibility? well expressed thoughts and dilemmas!! nice!!

I enjoyed this work. The best part is the search for peace and contentment. Great job Jeff.

I used to struggle too. That was until I discovered that the only really important thing is ones relationship with God. If spending time with Him in prayer and in His word is your number one priority, then nothing can get to you. The confusion, pain and turmoil will not phase you when you are in that place of absolute trust which only comes through spending time in Gods presence. Knowing God set me on a specific course a year and a half ago and continuing to cultivate my relationship with Him, has enabled me to "Hold Fast" through the turmoil that I am only now coming out of.

thought provoking - intense and eloquent

Why demand answers from "one" ~ and connect your mind to their limited perception....ask the same question to many - tap into the divine that always lived in you ~

Man seeks power...God gives you free will

Live in your mind but connect it to your heart and body..
