Psalm of Lament

So here is my slightly sad attempt and being able to creatively express my emotions. I have discovered that if you have spent most of your life stuffing all your emotions, it really gets rather hard to let them clearly come out. Hmmm I may have to work on that... Blech.

But anyways, this psalm of lament was for a school project. A good step and starting to aknowledge and deal with emotions again I think...


God my heart feels broken
Things are crashing down
Relationships once thriving are broken
Frustration gathers all around

Do you see the hurting in my family?
Do you hear my cry out?

All the pain inside seems to swell
So that it becomes all I can see
And anger boils up inside when
Nothing ever changes but just continues to be

Step down and show Yourself Lord
Let me know You still hear

My mind tells me You care
All my knowledge of You screams Your control
But my heart still hurts Lord
And I ache in wonder of the future

Will You please Lord help heal these relationships?
And could You renew health as well?

But I remember how You have provided
And I live trusting that You will continue
I sing praise God for You have provided me
Salvation

But I still don’t hear You
And I still want to
So here I wait
