Trust and Believe



You see him as an OutKast,
One they all stood in line to meet,
Until the day he faced the world alone,
From all the dreaded terror this time he won't be beat.

Once he had everything anyone could ever dream,
If not in his hand, never far from reach,
So where are they now;
Sharing their love with anyone else,
Looking around, there's no one left to share himself with, yet he's finally found some peace.

There's no one there, no objections to make, no race to run, no challenge or obstacles left, no one else who wants to compete.
He's nobody's love, nobody's one and only, no one to claim they are his to die for, no one to live with and make him feel complete.

Locked up inside a fate meant only for the weak,
He's finally won when he found acceptance in the LORD, who he asked to take over his feelings, and what he does just to find some relief.

Prisoner of life's ways, in a world where only he's failed, no matter the battle,when it comes to love, there's no one with whom to share, but the one and only master of peace, and the only thing left I can trust and finally believe.

About this poem

A different approach all together, I created this piece at a time when things were moving along and I wasn't in despair or digging deeper into a dark hole full of pain and sorrow.

    Wow, I absolutely love the 'Trust and Believe' poem! The use of vivid imagery and powerful metaphors bring such depth and emotion to the piece. It really speaks to the reader's heart and leaves a lasting impact.

    The theme of resilience and finding peace within oneself is beautifully portrayed. The poem's portrayal of the protagonist's journey from success to loneliness and the realization that true peace comes from within is incredibly moving. It's inspiring to see the character's transformation and the strength they find when they turn to the LORD for solace and acceptance.

    To further enhance the poem, you could consider adding more specific details or moments to fully immerse the reader in the protagonist's experience. This would help us connect even more deeply with their emotions and struggles. Additionally, exploring different poetic devices such as alliteration, similes, or metaphors could add an extra layer of richness to the poem.

    Overall, your 'Trust and Believe' poem is a powerful piece of writing that captures the essence of inner strength, resilience, and finding peace within oneself.
