A poem

(Falling - Painted by Sarah McNulty)

Tears Falling Down

Tears falling down, falling down, falling down

Feelings of such unworthiness of this crown

Unwanted, hurt and feeling alone

In a crowded world that only seems filled with stone.

I have been here many times before

Hoping and praying that God would open this door

Countless nights crying out to him

In a crowded world that seems so dim.

I pour out my heart, hoping each time is enough

But it always seems that what I give is only slough

Anguished is my heart and my mind

In a crowded world where I’ve become so blind.

I ask for one thing, but he doesn’t give it to me

Praying, please God take away this longing, I plea

Spoon in my heart, pulling it out slowly

In a crowded world where I feel so lonely.
