Here I Am

                                                                                                                                                                  

“Now I have been rescued, my soul is remade. But even the ransomed can fall on their face. When I'm drowning in questions, when I've lost the path, your love is the answer; You're calling me back."

"Running Back to You" by Seph Schlueter

                                                                                                                                                                 

Here I am lost again. 

Here I am picking up the pieces of a mind shattered by psychosis. 

Here I am starting over on a journey to healing, 

Here I am.

Here I am fighting to recover, battling side effects of new medications. 

Here I am, wondering what the future holds.

Here I am.

Here I am holding on to hope.

Here I am returning little by little to the Faith–

the Faith the enemy attacked during my episode.

Here I am.

Here I am running back to my Father–

a Father whose love isn't shaken by feelings or failures.

Here I am, reminding my hurting heart

that I have a Father who never lets go.

Here I am.

A note about my poetry: Whether you are facing a similar battle or walking alongside someone suffering from mental illness, I want you to know that I am praying for you. I pray my poetry may speak to you or perhaps help you gain a little insight into the battle that someone you know might be going through.
