A Weary Servant

In my adolescent lit class, we are currently studying poetry aimed at adolescents.
I was looking over my homework tonight, and I thought, "What if I tried to put my feelings into a poem?"
I did, and the results are below. Please don't be too critical- for I'm not much of a writer.

"A Weary Servant"

The path I’m on is dark and weary,

Big, dark, ugly clouds fill the sky.

A weary servant is walking along,

Helpless, hopeless, and asking, “Why?”

A heart is filled with grief and pain,

I suffer much each day,

I look around, there’s no away out,

It seems things will always be this way.

The voices inside my head scream out,

“You’re worthless, and you’re hopeless,

why get up and live another day?”

I still go on and with a smile, but inside, I’m a mess.

Friends walk out, give up, and 

in frustration turn away,

To encourage seems to be a lost cause,

For he may always be this way.

It is hard to see this servant suffer,

As family and friends all know,

Resources and time seem to have been exhausted,

And there’s no where else to go.

God sees Him getting tired,

This servant He so carefully made,

He hears him when he cries out so loud,

“God, for days to you I’ve prayed,

I’ve prayed for you to take away

This illness that’s consumed me,

I really would like healing now,

I’m suffering!! ...don’t you see?”

God looks down and sees this servant,

So confused, and ready to give up,

He wipes away His many tears, and replies,

“My child, that's enough.

Foe you do not see the plan I have in mind,

In store are many great things for you,

And there’s a reason behind this trials,

For now please trust that one day you’ll see my wondrous works come true.”

That leaves me still unsatisfied,

I wonder, "How can that be true?"

But I hear His promise echoing,

“My grace is sufficient for you.”

So I guess that means I’ll keep fighting,

I’ll muster up the strength that still remains,

I’ll walk steadily through this darkness,

I’ll keep pushing through the pain.

And when I feel like giving up

Because times are so trying and tough,

I hope to hear God’s promise echo,

“You have my grace, and that’s enough.”

(Scripture from 2 Corinthians 12)
