Black Poets Society: Something My Past Didn’t See

By Gaye Hallman The Black Lens

Looking into the future, Something my past didn’t see

The outcome of my experience,

has allowed God to transform me.

Longing to be alive, for within I was dead

Darkness was my company and each day I dread.

Walking with a lost soul, understanding nothing at hand

I once had a goal, my dreams turned to sand.

Seeking the face of comfort; to captivate my distressed mind,

Can’t give up on life; Hope, I must find

Thank God I found hope in the midst of the dark,

Pursuing to find some light until it penetrates in my heart.

Now that I’m blessed with life

and has allowed God to transform me.

I’m excited about the future,

Something My Past Didn’t See.
