Every step taken seems another hurdle
Yet despite all darkness, I prevail.
Existing on borrowed time and ungrateful love,
Sustaining life for those who barely see me.
Often tears cascade down angelic cheeks,
Forgotten by demands in the light of day.
Another day unravels, much like others,
Never embraced, welcomed, or appreciated.
Acceptance finds me within the dark,
Not by a lover but by my heavenly father.
Gentle and kind are his words and wisdom,
Embracing me and reminding me all is not in vain,
Learn, never regret for you shine in the love you hold.
524, the day I was put forth on this earth to love mankind.

Wow an incredible and amazing acrostic, very sad though you feel unappreciated. The ending line sums you up perfectly, giving to others even when you get nothing back. Best of luck in the contest, hope it's a winner.

Girl this rocks! It is so wonderful that even
though you get hit with darkness and depression,
you still feel and know love from a higher source.
He surely has sustained you and in Him you have
found peace. Had I not known this was an acrostic,
I would have still read a wonderful poem. The fact
that it is, makes it even more impressive. It flows
so well. Good luck in the contest.
