New Poem, Forgive

F O R G I V E

I am broken, I am weak,
I lay my burdens at your feet.
I ache - as I try to speak,
I've been a victim of deceit.

I am angry and I am sad,
I've been stabbed in the back.
A promise, should be iron clad...
Lord, build up the strength I lack.

Sometimes, I can barely breathe.
How could this happen to me?
My emotions, tend to seethe...
not a peaceful way to be.

I give you my tears and sorrow.
I seek your words to follow.
As the sun will emerge tomorrow,
maybe I won't feel so hollow.

I cannot go on this way.
This is definitely no way to live.
I'll lean on the Lord, every day...
ask for help, and thus - Forgive !
