Anguish

Anguish

 

All the pain and despair

Emptiness, loneliness, and longing

All the heart wrenching moments we've had since we were young

And all the things that try to bend break you

Even if they sometimes succeed

All those awful things that hurt so much 

Are merely devices which mold you into who you were always meant to be

Face down the anguish and use it as a tool to sculp...

Look up

Fear of what?

fear of who I am?

who I am called to be?

 

We have been over this,

You are called to be your full self.

So why are you afraid child?

why do you fear your own nature?

 

“I am angry”

You are passionate

 

“I am scared”

You are courageous

 

“I am resentful”

I will be with you

 

“I am alone”

I AM with you

 

“I am nothing”

Courage

It's been a hard day

Smiling pretending everything is fine

If I pretend it feels better

If I do it enough it hurts less

I haven't texted you all day

I haven't ran to you

I keep telling myself I don't need you anymore

I keep telling myself I don't love you

But a voice in my head keeps saying, " Be patient, be kind, show yourself self-love."

Then I look at my arm the word ...

Begin anew

A walk through memory lane?

What is there to gain

From reliving this pain?

Turn the corner and step into a new avenue

 

False hope, failure, shame,

Got me going insane 

End the death sentence - fullstop.

Indent and begin a new paragraph

Lasting Hope

A letter to you...

For fourteen years
all that I was known
was that I had a mother
I didn't know of.
And all I knew of her
was her name.
Then there came that day
when I was told of you both
but only because of her,
because she made a decision
to tell me so.

So, now I take this time
to write you both this letter.

A letter to you both,
to my brother and to my sister
who I just came to heard of,
to ...

Poem: Lasting Hope (sequel to New Age Spirituality)

~~Satan is a defeated foe
although he continues to fight -
For we are more than conquerors,
as soldiers in God's army of Light.

His earthly authority has been weakened
since Christ now possesses the keys of Death and Hell;
so we're to prayerfully "stand in the gap"
as we in His Presence strive to dwell.

Our lasting Hope is embodied by Christ alone;
He died to prove His Love as a frien...
