Poem about Teen Life

Finding Your Strength In God

I'm a 16 year old girl, and 4 years ago I became depressed. I struggled a lot, and my faith was shaken, but God saw my heart. He knew that I was fighting and that I was tired. I didn't see a solution, and I tried to commit suicide. But God didn't permit me to do this because He had chosen me before I even began to grow in my mother's womb. I'm grateful to Him, and I'm ready to be used by Him.

Standing Tall On My Knees

©

Published by Family Friend Poems February 2018 with permission of the Author.

I ask myself every day
How much more must I sustain?

Am I strong enough
to go the extra mile
or to even smile for a little while?

You are my knight in shining armor.
You heard my cries.
I no longer have to be in disguise.

You changed my name
when I was able to finally give you my pain.
I'll never be the same.

Now I'm standing taller
but on my knees,
roaring louder
than my insecurities.
