You Made Me Poem by Gold Trybes

You Made Me

Rating: 5.0


When trouble surrounded me like a wall
And hell had its fury over me
When all my signs went wrong
And tribulations came calling
In ones, in twos
In droves
And no help came out of my valley
All I saw was you
Too many nights, I would cry and cry
Too many nights I wondered for a way out
Too many nights I lost the zeal to live
Wake up in the middle of the night
Pray and pray I did but no help came
Lost count of my many sleepless nights
To see a light out of my dark alley
But in it all
You were the hope I saw
Assuredly,
Each time I turned my page
You were there
Through the thick and thin of my trials,
You understood
Leaving me unhurt, unscathed each time
Even when it felt like the end was nigh
I fell too many times
And didn’t know how to rise up
But you held me
Helped me regain strength
Through my weak and fragile nature
I made mistakes I shouldn’t have
Went the wrong path
And was consumed with so many errors
That I didn’t know how to start again
But you were there
People I trusted stabbed me
Each time I opened up my heart
It hurt and it bled red soaking blood
But you healed me
Time was when I needed help
But all had their back on me
But one
I would have been a mockery
But in my tribulations
You gave me a reason to dance
With the one you let stay..

Nicely written. I 'felt' and understood this. It touched me. And you are a very talented writer.
