My mind compelled me to write
Life is Cruel
I wonder why God...
Always put me into tests
Each and every time
I'll have to face so many
Obstacles like
When rain pouring roads get muddy
Why are you giving me
Such a big pain?
Please God....
I can't bear all these plight
I want to change my self
Yet, I can't do..
One life won't let me to die
The other life won't let me to live
I just living like a dead body
What's wrong within me?
Destiny and life driving like a racing car
Life is a race..
Why life is so cruel?
Give me courage to live happily
Give me power to win every battles
I'm losing my happiness in a second
My life filled with only sorrows
Tear drops are falling like a niagara falls
I want to drag my self to death
Why everybody leaving me?
Am I too bad?

Life can be a nightmare at times. It demands respect just like the ocean. If you fight the ocean, you will lose. If you respect the ocean and learn to swim with its currents and tides and not against them you will survive. You will not end up where you would like but you will eventually reach home on a safe shore. The key is not to panic.

Look to the horizon where heaven and earth meet. But you will need to swim to get there, hopefully through calm waters, but there is no guarantee. The earth is what it is and we are part of it. Heaven is yet to come.

"People Are Like Tea Bags, They have to be placed into hot water in order to pull out their true flavor." God only allows us to go through the fire so we can be purified in Christ Jesus. Sounds cruel I know, but how do our children learn the hard side of life? If we don't allow them to fall and always place a soft pillow in front of them to soften any hard blow, what will they learn? How will they walk then? We all have to learn life's pit falls, then, and only then, will learn to appreciate the good times God also gives His children. We can only change if we die of self. To die of self means giving ALL of who we are and who we are NOT to God! Then, and only then, without broken spirit, will become new beings in Christ Jesus. No one then will leave you, they will flock to you! For they will want what it is you have in Christ Jesus, His Love, His Joy, His peace forever more. God be with you always, Linda

A poignant piece. You already have the power, you just have to believe it.

God uses the difficult times, and the struggles as an opportunity to show us how much we need Him. "Sorrow may last for the night, but joy comes with the morning"!

Without pain all gain will drain. The way to hell is paved in rest; see God's grace in joys of tests.

Begin As If You Were You. /// Stop thinking about life's tests as struggling battles / and they will fly away from you like swans leaving lakes./ Stop thinking each day is a war between you and love/ and your dreams will embrace and kiss you goodnight./// Stop fearing the outcome of each happening in loss/ and you will discover you have an answer in your pocket. / Stop fearing whether you win or not, for the game is yours/ and the pawns on the chess board move out of your way./// Stop running away and confront the issues in danger,/ and you'll realize that you command your own reality. / Stop wanting what poisons and displaces the stream/ and the water will run free and not become stagnant./// Stop dragging an anchor and a chain through the forest,/ and sunlight will fall upon you in the darkest woods. Stop letting someone else drive your beautiful vehicle, and you'll discover you can travel at any speed you wish. /// Start knowing the raging storm will always be there,/ and you'll always be prepared to handle the onslaught./ Start knowing that you create your life's surroundings,/ and you will build a landscape you care for and love./// © RH Peat 1/30/2011 11:20pm// form: 5 quatrains/ 20 lines// Metaphor: Become who you are. // a poet friend//RH Peat

A sad but reflective write....Dulakshi...life is really waht you make of it...you can choose to smile in the face of adversity which is perhaps the way to go....or just wallow in self-pity which will only worsen things..take care

It's hard to tell someone to count their blessings when they are in the midst of sadness, lonliness or dispair. People have trite, or tried and true sayings they will throw meaning to help. Though they may be true and filled with wisdom....they still don't help much. You mention God. Please know God is the one who is always there. Start with this simple thing: God will aways be there for you if you call upon him and ask him in. Difficulties in life hurt and at the time we can't see the reason....but trust in God that there is one. Sometimes through sadness he is preparing us for something else even nicer than dreams. Have FAITH there is a reason... After you ask God into your heart again and trust him you'll begin to feel his grace. Sometimes the broken road that seems to be our fate leads to somewhere special and brighter than our hopes. There is a lot of wisdom in the comments below. Reading them...feel better about your situation. Oh....and nice poem too!

Be greatful for today that you have food to eat, sight to see, hands to write and a day that passes and the next day you awake. Thank God for all those lovely thins he has given you in a day! For every cross he gives you there is a trial to see how you can cope with it.

A very sad poem. Take your attention away from yourself, and focus on God's wonderfful beauty, that lies all around you. I wish you well.
