| The Cutting Room Floor
All those hopes and dreams that you wanted to explore
Lie torn and in tatters on the cutting room floor
All you ever wanted seems so out of place
Especially compared to the saviour's sovereign grace
Living life without you was so meaningless
Constantly retracting from all the strain and stress
Knowing that assurance comes from you alone
Yet looking in the wrong place,
So tired and on my own
As the celluloid of life rolls on without a care
I'm caught between takes feeling nothing but despair
Needing reassurance for the movie of my life
To rid me of these fears which are currently so rife.

I
am an English graduate who is currently teaching in a primary school
in North Liverpool. I have a particular passion for language and
poetry. This is a creative and cathartic expression which I would
like to share with others - hoping that you can identify with some
of the emotions and struggles. My work is usually very melancholy
so please don't fail to be encouraged as you read them!! There are
some parallels with David's psalms, those feelings of desperation
and yearning to go deeper with God. May that be the cry of your
heart as you read these poems!
