Trusting God With My Pain Poem by cassie slaughter

as I sit here alone
the pain from my past
begins to creep up on me ever so slowly
and I begin to wonder
if it will ever go away
or
if it will continue to haunt me for the rest of my days
all the pain of abuse
that I've endured
and mistakes that I've made
too many to count
these thoughts are overtaking me
like tidal waves
and it feels as if
I just might drown
but then I begin
to feel relieved
because I know
God is with me
guiding me
into his loving arms
out of the storm
to stable ground
