Always, by Samantha Schmitz

"Life" you say.

What is that?  At times, you wonder if you are worth much...maybe even start comparing yourself...to things you shouldn't be.

You overcomplicate things.

You believe lies.


Why???


You try to pray...

But every time you do,

You feel like you are praying not to God,

But to a wall.


Why does life at times have to hurt so much?

Where is God...

When all you feel is loneliness??

Are you worth any more than a voice?

 A voice screaming out in pain?

Another tear shed?

Another heart broken?


Where,

When,

How,

Will the blackness fly away?

When will the sunlight

Break through the gray clouds

Of your heart

And mind?

The clouds are blocking out the light of your life.

You want to live,

You want to feel something again,

Something more than pain

And confusion.

At times you wonder how you keep holding on,

When you feel so tired & weak.


You may feel alone,

But He remains.

You may feel worthless,

But your worth never changed.

You may feel pain,

But the joy is still there...

Hidden behind the clouds.


And the thing about blackness is,

It always

Must eventually

Give way to light.
