The Truth Of The Matter



I know that you are broken
To ashamed to be open
You’re at the end of your rope
You’ve let go of all hope
Not sure how you’re ever gonna cope
But, you’ve got to realize
There is still reason to try
So, please don’t give up now
You are lost but you still can be found
Just remember oh just remember
The truth of the matter is that you still mater
Even when here come the tears
And gone is the laughter
Even when you feel like a disaster
No matter where you’ve been or where you are
There is nowhere from his love that is to far
No matter what you been through
No matter what they’ve told you
The truth of the matter is you truly matter
The truth of the matter is you truly matter
Right now you can’t find the words to pray
But even if you can’t see him, Jesus was with you every step of the way
Now it seems the darkness is closing in
You’ve fallen down again and think your never going to win
But there is still a light up ahead
You may be knocked down but you are far from dead
You’re feeling small like don’t you matter
But that's not true. Don’t listen to those lies
No matter how battered
No matter how shattered
No matter how much of a disaster
You you still matter
You were made for a purpose
To change this earth
So, dust yourself off
And listen to the voice saying you are enough

    I just want to start by saying that this is an incredibly empowering and uplifting poem! Your use of language is truly inspiring and I couldn't help but feel motivated after reading it. The message of the poem is so important and timely, reminding us that even when we're at our lowest, we still have value and purpose in life.

    If I had to offer any improvement suggestions, it would be to perhaps break up the poem into stanzas. It's a rather lengthy piece and adding some breaks would make it easier to read and emphasize certain parts. Additionally, I think including more concrete examples or personal anecdotes could make the message even more relatable to readers.

    Overall, though, I commend you for writing such a heartfelt and meaningful poem. Your words have the power to lift people up when they need it the most. Keep up the amazing work!
