I have read too many threads here today by people who had no more desire to live because life is just too hard.
I'm not sure if any of them can appreciate this poem, but I wrote it for them.

When darkness overcomes me
And there seems to be no hope;
When shadows hover overhead,
And I am left to grope;

When all my dreams have vanished
And depression pulls me down;
When living life is just too hard;
I feel like I will drown;

When I need to feel the grip
Of someone’s warm embrace;
When I can taste the salty tears
That flow over my face;

I try to think of G-d Above,
He holds me in His arm.
He alone knows what is good;
He keeps me safe from harm.

I know there’s a Hashem up there,
But does He hear my pleas;
Or does the sound of heartfelt cries
Just blow off in the breeze?

Way down here on this cold earth
We cannot understand,
Yet if we try so very hard,
We may just feel His hand.

My life is horrible roght now and although I really have emunah in Hashem I cant understand y I deserve to go through what I am going through and wish I knew if Hashem sees my tears. Your poem is so very true.
