These Torturous Feelings That You Don't Understand

'We all experience sorrow in our lives...there were times when it got too much and sometimes we wonder, how did I manage to get thru that?'

        You can't think of anything other than wanting to scream      

      To have a fit, to smash everything you can get your hands on    

                    To stomp until your bones crack                   

                    To punch until your fists bleed                   

         An urge to destroy so powerful it reaches out to evil        

a

                   But you can only sit down and cry                  

                      Mourn the pain in your soul                     

                   Not knowing why you feel that way                  

                    Afraid of becoming a bad person                   

                       A time bomb in your heart                      

                        A grief so unfathomable                       

        You even tried sitting motionless to stop from hurting        

                     And end up crying even harder                    

                You wish someone would come and save you              

                    Stop the sorrow from killing you                  

              Stay with you and hear what you want to say             

   Soothe the crippling cold fire and keep you from wondering astray  

                  You pray, you did, for self control                 

            For the life-saving smiles when patience is poor          

                  Until you find that you've recovered                

                The deadly fire that burned became ashes              

                      Feeling subdued and defeated                    

                         Too tired to care                            

                Thinking maybe this is your way to heal               

                             Then it starts                           

                             All over again                           

         These torturous feelings that you don't understand...        

Something To Ponder, Something To Pray Of

There are some things that I grumble about
Without realizing that there are things that I should be thankful for
I complain about homework and assignments
And forget that how some people are denied the luxury of education
I cried at small, simple, hurtful things
Not remembering how easy it is to laugh and how often it has happened
I am afraid and could not bother to grab opportunities
Forgetting that sometimes it comes along without the need for me to seek
And if I dare to face it I might've succeeded, like the last time
I ponder over the bad
When I have the good, the caring and the sweet by my side
There are countries and generations that live with wars and colonization
I am just fortunate to be neither one of them
I won't be able to see all the goodness in my daily life
But I hope I don't see all the bad lights and the downsides of it either
I love having fun all the time and stay jovial
But would it blind me from responsibilities and consequences?
I will be careful in finding a soul mate
But I hope to be carefree enough to be able to notice the right one
I go through insecurities and pessimism
Which I hope to be countered with adequate confidence and optimism
I am happy to be offered with help and generosity
And I want to be just as happy when offering them to someone else
I might stray off the right track or curse a mishap
So I pray to God to keep me on path and remind me to count my blessings
To keep embedded in my thoughts and my mind, this :

" God watches over us, always. "
