Love Poem: I Need You

I Need You

I need Your shoulder
Please reach for my hand
I need someone to listen
And truly understand
The way I think and the way I feel
How my life at times, seems so surreal
I need to scream and I need to cry
But I also need to be heard, but don't know why
I'm usually so strong, unwilling to break
But I fear that now, my foundation has started to shake
I've been abused, misused and pushed around
With very few, can I find common ground
I've been lied to, cheated on, and really put down
At times, in my own pity is where I drown
My Faith is strong, and I do love Thee
But these tests you throw at me are hard to conceive
Why must I suffer so, to prove myself to You
For if you don't know by now that my heart is true
I don't see how any more tribulations could change your view
I know that You love me and my sins are forgiven
But the meaning of my life, from me, You keep hidden
In a riddle unlike so many others
Why couldn't You have made me like my sisters and brothers
I wish I were shallow at times without doubt
For then maybe I could live with my head in the clouds
Maybe then it wouldn't be so painful to me
To live my life of misery
