Wounded, weary, and worthless
I was broken, betrayed and beaten
bruised and battered by a world that didn't care

Surrounded by noise and craving silence

Surrounded by people but lost and alone

I had believed in the promise of happiness
but found that promise to be empty

Through pleasures I sought fulfillment
but sought it all in vain

There must be a place I will find healing

There must be a place I will find peace

I sought that peace in high places
where the mountains touch the sky

I sought it by the waters edge where the waves caressed the shoreline

I sought it deep in the forest where dappled sunlight shined

But that sense of peace and healing was nowhere to be found

Then one night at my lowest abyss
I finally prayed to God

Not in a fine cathedral
but in the pouring rain of my soul

And I heard the voice of an angel
saying Welcome! Welcome Home!

To find the peace you long for and the healing that you need look deep within your heart and soul. They are there within yourself.

Lovely write!
