My soul is empty

My soul is empty
a resevoir in need of water
I am drained
my heart searches for answers
tries to fill the void
tears fall softly
on my pillow at night
often threaten to break free by day
my mind is weighed down
what will the future bring?
I wonder how much longer
My body will remain whole
My spiritual grounds are broken
Doubt weakens me
God can move mountains,
Why can't he move me?
My will has become tired
body weak and sore
sentenced for life
to a burden I cannot bear
something deep inside
tries to persuade me
to give in
at times its voice
is like a lullaby
lulls me in with ease
other times I fight
choose not to listen
life still hasn't defeated me
my heart will continue searching
till i find
the answers I seek
it may take years to fill the void
patch the wounds life has made
but I am prepared
I will stand up and fight
until my soul
feels complete again
