You tried your best to break me,
You thought you could shake me.
You wanted to try and fight me,
You thought you had defeated me.
You thought you had me knocked down,
We can all be everything
everyone has ever been
We can all be everything
no one has ever been
Yet
You know when it finally hits you and you get tired of your own bullshit,
And it becomes too much and all you can think about is how bad you want to quit?
I might be wrong in thinking
That I navigate with lithe and agility through unfamiliar dark rooms
Dark wombs
Even darker tombs sinking further down to a heated core, a hellish home
My body, at last.
I used to think that I was alone
I used to think that the ground would crumble beneath me
God, I would hear
I didn't think that he cared
I didn't know he was hear
God, I would here

One of the most important things that I have been told is to believe in your journey even when no one else can,
And it took me a long time to realize that no one else has to believe in you if you are your own biggest fan.

i think i was 11 when a stranger first asked where i hid my money
it was a cold winter day
you could see your breath sway and stay as the snow flew your way
i glanced back at his face
Each drop fell, bringing with it a taunt over our own depravity.
It shouts, “Liar, Schemer, Thief, Murderer, Adulterer, Covetous- Human?”
Well sir, in your flawless plan, there lies all but one fatal cavity.
TRANSFORMATION
Transformation.
Where developmental stages cascade into adolescence.
It molds our countries, comunities, and our families.
Our values, transform our future.
The only creature
who truly knows freedom:
high-flying bird
Give me freedom or
Give me DEATH!
I'll settle for rights.
A 16 year old
with car keys in hand
We question the origin of things and look for scientific explanations
To justify and provide reasons to the start of our nation
It comes down to a significant simple story of creation
I was once asked...
"What do you believe in?"
Now I know what the question meant,
Do you believe in God?
Do you believe in anything?
Do you believe in nothing?
She brings love and peace to all
but even when she falls
she will crawl
she will do anything for the people to hear her calls
Until one day her calls will be evolved
I’m gonna start with a question
That I doubt you can answer
Because I’m sure it’s in you
Spreading like a cancer
It’s in me too,
Though I’ve only just become aware
Happy 'spend a lot' day for the wrong reasons,
Don't forget to spend absorbent dollars today on roses, chocolates or other gifts to show your true love there worth to you,
Dead.
Only to be born again.
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel is equivilant to seeing the
Hospital lights hit your big, bright eyes.
When you die, a lot of people believe you go live up in the sky.
I think your spirit thrives and lives wherever it wants to arrive.
Look at your face and your hair's small curls
you may not be a stick,
but you have the whole world
in your hands, between your shoulders, and even in your thighs.
Hello Lou,
how are you?
Are currently down,
are you feeling blue?
Are you counting the stars,
searching for love,
and aproval for the person that you are?
Are you waiting for hope,
What you know about the silence of the lambs
I'm not talking about that cross dresser shit.
I mean the way people today choose to live,
cowardly, afraid to speak up. Think differently,
I'm living in a castle made of sand.
It looks to be made of some hearty stone,
But I'm good at finding truth.
Sometimes I pluck it out of ears, like a magician's coin.
Truth is a bit more expensive.
Guiding Holy Spirit
anxiety?
No need to fear it
Blissfully
I Breathe
What a way to be!
Jesus once again conquered death,
& Gave Life to the powerless.
I won't be happy when there's a frown on her face
I won't fully rest when she's not by my side
I won't relax if I'm not sure that she's safe
I love those quirks she calls flaws
Tranquility
in reluctance to the search from within
the vase jar still hangs by the window sill
there are voices in my head no whispering
a very faint sound of selfish fervor
Not everything is okay. Fact of life, people. And more and more I look around and see people try to redefine "okay." Or try to figure out the way the world is best run Or what's the difference between messing up and just having some fun There's no
~ Walls of Flesh ~ Life isn't just what is seen in a pretty picture,But the secrets buried from within the walls of our flesh, and hidden deep inside, Intellectually we stand tall, body held strong by the back bone of our pride, While we battle th
Hope
Hope is what guides us
Hope is what gets us through the day and into the next
So why does is it lacking in our society?
You picture me behind the curtain, scheming with Oz.
I wonder if when you see me, you greet the person you imagine me to be.
How awkward that I have little resemblance to the ghostly image
Which haunts me now.
You judge me as I speak
You judge my style of dress
You laugh at my beliefs
And brush aside my hopes and dreams
I feel lost because
I want to voice my fears
I want you to hear
Thinking of all the reasons that I love You
I find too many to say
Could it be Your inconsitencies, Your patters, or is it
Your Relentlessly Free Mind and Untamed Heart beating fiercely each day?
I have this friend that I am useless without.
I know, I know,
Friends are not meant to last forever.
But this one sorta does.
The billowing wind, the scent of the sea
The crash of the waves, the sound of silence
And me.
The darkness falls, yet stars gleam bright
As seraphs-in shadows-stand guard,
Adulthood snuck up on me, deceived me
Oh, she’s a sly one
She flirted with me for a time, dangling her alluring maturity and ravishing freedom before my eyes
Some people think that Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe in Jesus but we do.They think that we believe that Jesus doesn't exist but that is not true.We believe in Jesus and we believe in his father, the almighty Jehovah too.
God
I don't know how to pray
I do'nt know what to do
I don't know what I believe
But I know I want to believe in you
Please help me to believe
Reveal yourself to me
Show me
There was a man who believed in nothing.
He fell from a twenty-foot tall tree
With not even a scratch on his knee.
Then, he had to believe in something.
People will believe things that they choose to believe
Most don't see the reality behind what their eyes show them
Then again, we can't change the way they are
When in fact, this is how we believe what people really do
The Lord is my Sheperd, that means I'm the sheep, i have nowhere to go unless my Lord speaks, My Lord is my Provider, If He provides, I eat,
The spiders tell me fables, and watch my eyes fall to rest
The music of the sky lulling me into a resting wake
There was a spotlight shaded red, pointed
toward the center of the black floor,
surrounded by black walls, sheltered by a black ceiling from
the slow pitter patter of February sleet falling outside
Sometimes it’s lonely,
Being the one left behind,
Blocked off from reality,
No longer part of life,
No one really looks,
Deep within,
See the soul reflected,
Tonight, I can write about a broken moment in time,
About a lone wolf,
Whose power and grace fell,
As the heavens would cry,
Shunned because she didn’t fit in,
Didn’t agree with the status quo,
I want to dance and cry and scream,
In memory of all the things we think are better forgotten.
"Forgive and forget", they say.
Forgive, by all means forgive,
But, please don't forget?
Hope.
It runs deep.
Deeper than any mineshaft,
Tunnel or crevice within the world.
Versatile, yet universal to all.
It doesn’t hesitate, procrastinate
Or assimilate.
Hope is…
From the ashes, we rise like Kings.
From our fallen blood, we learn to grow limbs.
WIth each broken brick we build a home.
Our fate is made in our blood and stone.
You may take our bodies,
Change is always around us
Change is everywhere
It happens every day, but sometimes we hardly notice
The temperature, the shape of the clouds, and change even arises from tectonic plate movement.
I believe that people use religion as a way to escape reality. However, I love Jesus.
I believe that work is just a way to get paid. However, I love my job.
I belive in one God creator of heaven and earth
because thats my religion since my birth
it doesnt matter if you believe in ying and yang
or that the world was created with a big bang
No,
You cannot and you will not be nothing more than you are now
You are not a butterfly, no pretty wings will sprout from your nonexistent limbs ; you will forever be a worm
I understand why you "believe."
We humans long for control. Desperately we seek it, always, but most when we have lost what little control we had and are left with none.
"God" is a defense mechanism.
Love is patient
Love is kind
We are made in the image of God
Love conquers hate
Love makes us human
Love your neighbor as yourself
Evil is wrong
Evil is sinful
“You pray, God listens.”
The biggest lie I’ve ever heard.
He wasn’t there when I laid dying,
He wasn’t there when I asked for advice,
They tell me who my God is
But how can they know my God
When they do not know me?
They tell me why to follow, to obey, to submit
The scriptures and holy texts are law
Unbreakable, unforgiving
Though my hair is wild and free
I tremble with fear
As I journey across the unexplored waters of the sea
What strange silver monster
Eats at my wrists?
What strange creature
Gnaws at my ankles?
When a feeling becomes so warm
so warm I want to taste it
not a harsh slap of spicy flavors
A day without worries is the day my bodies buried,
Call me a sinner....
But repentance is what wil save me from the furry.
Consistency was never a nickname,
and i dont wona use the same old lines that im just human.
Why, why, why?
Always a question,
never an answer
Why to do this, why to do that...
It's all about the reasoning
The why
Why, why, why?
Always running through the head
Why, why, why?
So many struggle to find reason for their lives
So many struggle to go on
So many struggle
Yet so many miss on the simplest joys in life
So many regret their past sins
So many live in their failures
The days go by,
The days do come,
Life is nothing without a little fun.
Hold me now,
Hold me close,
Moments like this, i'll cherish the most.
My darling,
My dear,
Sweet young one;
You got me thinking
Of what’s out there and what’s inside
You got me thinking
Of how we came to be alive
You got me thinking
Of whether we contain a soul
You got me thinking
These thoughts are strangers to my head,
These thoughts behind the wall
Where once stood nothing.
Now is hope
But fear, it still abounds.
Regret holds no meaning to what I felt
Something greater was born
What I'd done made me melt
As everything inside me was torn
I hear the Angel's thunderous cries
Commanding you to stop.
The largest of the troupe comes near
And kneels before your face;
Eye to eye
Bodies so close.
You ache to reach out and touch
I’ve always wanted to believe
Mama told me you were everywhere
And the pastors told me to pray
So I wore your emblems
Around my neck
Around my wrists
I stayed shackled and barred to your pews
You push me down
You Kick Me Down
You Dig a Hole
You Stabbed My Back
And push me down
Again And Again
But what’s the point
What’s the problem?
I’m I Not good enough
I dont know why,
Why I want to cry,
Why my soul wants to die,
Why my hopes and dreams turn into lies.
Can someone please tell me,
Because I feel like I'm not good enough
But what is 'good enough'?
Go, little sheep, from this
bare and desolate land.
Go from this wicked place
with its whips and brands.
Go, press onward through
the cold gates that bar the way
Go, leave this dark world
I'll tell my story
You tell yours
I don't know what will happen beyond here
Whether my eyes will remain dry
Whether I'll need a place to hide
If I will meet the sky
If I will pass and rise
We live in power
Human beings united.
Advocates of anti-bullying
The power behind great action.
We are strong in out fights,
Even when all looks bleak.
Camaraderie our shield
