Lost:

I feel lost, and hopeless,

like I will never see any light.

I feel sick, and angry,

I know that this emptiness is not right'

I feel dark, and dismal,

like the pit I am in is never bright.

I feel only sadness,

that every where I look is night.

My heart is aching.

I fear I will never love again.

That my life will always,

always have this pain,

That every step I make

will forever be in vain.

I hope I won't always be this way.





Found:

I have found Christ Jesus

He has turned my night to day,

He took my burdens

when on the cross he was slayed

He will never leave me

even when I disobey,

I was oh, so selfish, but God has help that go away.


Jesus loves me,

even though I am a wretch.

He has saved me,

from my terrible,certain death.

I shall praise him

Morning, noon and when darkness falls,

He is my Saviour,

Jesus Christ the Lord of all.


The author's comments:
This poem is in two parts. The first showing the emptiness of being without Jesus Christ and the second part shows the strength and comfort that comes from finding God.

Thanks, but no need to worry, this is not based on me. My poems come from a base emotion and then I twist it.   I was feeling really down and wrote the fisrt half "Lost" when my mum read she said it need a seond half so I wrote "Found".  I have always been a Christian. I can't beleive I let those grammar errors slip!  Thanks for the comment!

I am an artist bound only for the poet's glory....But only achieve half of the success that my dreams aspire to find, And to what do the whispers tell me of this failure...To what end to they haunt my nightmares...my eternal dark dreams...

Good poem, It has a nice story of personal well being and it tells how you found religion and how you felt, I feel its relatable in the sense that I am the same in this manner. Few gramatical errors, all of which were just a bit misplacment among words that could of helped the poem flowed more smoothly, But overall bravo keep writing I enjoyed this piece.
