The Real Me Poem by Rita Umali

My heart is aching
I am not fine
LORD Jesus I need you
I may look like a great warrior woman outside unscathed from wars
But deep inside I am all confused, sad almost empty.

Sustain me O Lord
What I am going through is nothing compared to some of my friends troubles and trials

Grant me strength and joy
LORD Jesus I need you
Take me out from this PIT
Bring me to light
Shine forth your love in my current darkness
Help me save me
Let your healing grace touch me
The real me
Hear me O God
I pray with my soul and heart
