If you placed me in front of an ocean

by Chelsey   Jun 11, 2006


Why is it you make me feel I shouldn’t have been created?
When my God in heaven tells me I was
Your pain probably doesn’t even compare to mine
You don’t understand what your yelling does
I feel the only person in the family photo is me
Everyone else has been cut out
Sadly after only 15 years of living life
I’ve forgotten what family love is about

Lost in confusion and frustration
You all have left me with my head held down
All this time I thought I was gaining
But really losing jewels from my crown

If you placed me in front of an ocean right now
I’d take one last look around me
Then slowly walk into the shallow waves
And gently float off into sea
I don’t want to swim with the sea animals
I just want to float on my back and watch the clouds
As the wind and sun pass me by
And not have to push through a crowd

I will lay there and close my eyes
Think of the memories that are now thrown away
Just hope I go to a quiet little island
Where I’m alone in peace everyday

    My dear Chels,
    I don't know what has been giving you such torchered pain but what I do know that you are a "fighter" . I know you will fight your way through this sadness and come out a winner .

    Many times in our live we will have struggles but always remember God is walking hand in hand with us throughout our journey through life .

    Never question this Chels :Why is it you make me feel I shouldn’t have been created?

    You were created out of love " the love of God " and he knows what a beautiful soul you have as do I.

    Hold onto your faith and you will come out just fine , my dear .

    I am always and I mean ALWAYS here for you . Though 100's of miles separate us you are always in my thoughts and prayers .Give yourself a big ((HUG)) and tell yourself .....I AM SPECIAL
    Love ya A..I.D, KEEP YOUR CHIN UP BABY GIRL

    Hey Chelz, I understand how you're feeling right now, I'm feeling the same way. But I've learned something in the last few days and that is that God takes care of us in his own way, he puts obstacles in our life that he knows we will be able to handle and learn from it and make us stronger for it. And I know that whatever it is you're going through you will get through it just fine. Take one day at a time, keep yourself busy and breath... take time for you.

    This is a very heartfelt and emotional write. Sad but written so beautifully. Stay strong sweetie and know that I am here if you need anything. Big hugs and lots of love to ya!

    LLright you had my attention with the title. For some reason I'm drawn about writing the sea as a peaceful area and this poem just had that for me. I could picture your third stanza the best as it held so much imagery. An emotional write. To me though there were some awkward wording here and there
    If you placed me in front of an ocean right now
    [Maybe take off the right now]
    I just want to float on my back and watch the clouds
    [Maybe instead of and watch you could put watching.]
    Think of the memories that are now thrown away
    [Maybe think of memories thrown away]
    And not have to push through a crowd
    [Maybe Not having to push through crowds]
    Just some suggestions :) It's up to you.
