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.
