I CANNOT STAND BEING ALONE (poetry)


I know the Lord is always with me and I am never really alone
But Lord, sometimes I cannot stand being alone.
I know Lord you worki on me better when I am by myself
But Lord this moulding and shaping process can really get to me sometimes

I cannot stand being alone and everyone is out there with someone
My Lord I know this is my moments with you
I treasure them because I am taking on your image and not of the world
But Lord a call from my man to be, an email from my Spiritual sister,
An sms from my friend, a Facebook comment on my wall……..
Can really make this waiting moments less lonely and more bearable.

I cannot stand being alone especially when I don’t feel like doing anything
Dear Lord I know I must use such times to study your word, listen to your messages
I know these are moments I must be soaking myself in your presence more
Praising you and worshipping you more
Praying in the Spirit and interceding for others
But Lord You know….that is how I live daily

Tonight, I just need to hear another human voice’s apart from mom’s or dad’s.
Tonight I want someone to care and ask me how I feel
I feel good because I am blessed but I feel sad because I miss people
I feel blessed because I have so much but I feel …….

Like I am not so interesting
Like I am being avoided
Like I am being punished
Like I am needy

Needy?
That’s the word of the world my Lord
I know I am not because I have all my needs met by you my Lord
Needy….
That’s the name men give to women when women give them attention
And all the above I feel is not real but from the liar in the world

Ok, back to my sadness
No Lord I am not really sad
I just feel mad
I know it’s a season that will pass
I know I will soon be with my man, my friends and everyone else
I will enjoy the “me-time” while it lasts

But Lord, I cannot stand being alone tonight
