Sadness and teardrops

Wrong side of the bed, I suppose.

If I’m dying, take me fast

Where is your mercy, my Lord?

I keep praying

Anguish building wildly

And I am desperate for love

But only if it’s yours

Why won’t you stop the raindrops?

As they fall from my face

Somehow my dark soul succeeds

In capturing them

I fight it

With the little strength I pretend to have

My disgraceful attempts are laughable

Silently screaming as I drown

Still desperate for love

But only if it’s yours

 

Author's Note

Have you woken up feeling completely distressed? Not really knowing where it came from. Hands shaking from emotions you don’t want to feel. I’m having one of those days.

this is beautiful Mia. I'm no stranger to days like these, and I feel every word of this because I have them and because my faith gave me the strength to pull myself through them. You captured it wonderfully.
the ability to make such feelings into art is a gift, and you certainly have it!!
well done :)

[Mia]

Thank you Jordan, I don't even know what to say! It means more because I think you're an incredible writer. All smiles for the rest of the evening, that's for sure :D

[TheJordBaker]

Thank you Mia!! No problem at all, my pleasure :D

[Craba]

very nicely written and expressed

[Mia]

Thank you :)

[Damien Davison]

I like how you still hold on to hope, still long and yearn... Nice write.

[Mia]

Hope, for me, is believing when there seems to be no way. Or better yet believing despite the fact there seems to no way. Based on that, how can I not have hope?
Thank you :)

Poignant write Mia and so true we look to God's embrace to keep us safe . Perhaps he hears us often he shows us the way in mysterious ways and often the comfort we search for is within us.

[Mia]

Thank you Moon, I appreciate your time and comments :)

[Butters]

This is great! I feel like it is something I, and others can relate to. Good diction, flows well.

[Mia]

Thank you very much :)

First of all, I like the fact that I clicked on this cute little caption, and then your poem smashed my nose!! :D What an idea.. Your dark soul capturing each tear shed. Nicely put.

Can I just say on a personal note, that I have felt every word here once upon a time. But I came to conclude that attaining favor from the Lord was really my own attempt at being good enough not to endure what had already occurred in my past. That's why drug attics and religious zealots are the same. But I do feel everything here. It rang with me.

[Mia]

Lol, sorry about your nose, hope all your bones are intact :)
People, in general, only want God around when life is crappy and then completely ignore him when it’s peachy. I am no different…either I’m looking for a miracle or someone to blame. It’s silly when looking at it retrospectively but somewhat comforting at the time. Interesting comparison…but thinking about it, I think you have a point.
Anyhow, thank you for stopping by and for your thoughts :)

What an overwhelming sense of dread... and yes, I too often wake with that sense of otherness... You so powerfully convey that here.. How I hope and pray it never lasts long, dear poet.

[Mia]

Thank you Craig. Not long, never long...too much beauty in my life.

[An owl on the moon]
