Sometimes I'm Very Alone. How About You?

The graying sky only reminds me
of how very alone I really am
family members go on their way
and leave me alone to reflect
upon lost loves, lost lives
lost hopes and lost dreams
a reflection of innermost digs
I sometimes wish I could reverse
the story and replay events that
changed the course of my history
uncontrolled life decisions and
a Godless lifestyle that created
remorse in the soul
But I have....changed that is
God is in my heart
God is in my soul
He's forgiven me my sins
So why can't I?

The graying sky reminds me
of how very alone I am.....

edit: I'm not as sad as this seems to sound. I'm very happy in my life. Just had a sad moment.

a heartfelt poem, yet to answer your poem
if God has forgiven you, then you have already
forgiven yourself, for the Kingdom of Heaven is
within you,

If I could change anything in my life, I wish that I had never come into contact with the principles of Buddhism. I am not a Buddhist (far from it) but the ideas of buddhism will always impact me in a negative way.

I sometimes wonder if I could ever be a Christian again, but I think I have been born-again one too many times. Lonliness is a feeling I had never experienced before 2010. I still find it too curious to be really painful.

Thanks for giving my a mental excursion.

alone i've been from the beginning of time...
alone with a fifth in the dark it sit...
must always i suffer through life all alone...
guilt and pain an endless refrain
alone again, must i always remain?

it appears that "alone" is a reoccurring theme in what i think my best work.
"there are no gobacks no matter how hard you try". yes i am familiar with the desire to change my history. i am glad that you can gain some strength from faith, i have a hard time doing so in recent decades. self forgiveness is always the most difficult to receive because you must ask for it from your greatest critic. i have a gray sky today too. i hope writing helps you as much as it does me.

We were all toddlers once trying to walk. We all had to experience knee skin scrapes. Knee skin scrapes does not mean Godlessness, only childhood playfulness. The skies will turn blue then white then grey for all life around you, including you, must change and through it all, He will be there.

Yes Shirley, we all, or many have moments like that, and deal with them variously.
I also agree with those, that you are part of this family
please know that, cared for.
So I will echo, "Big Hugs."
