Feelings

 

Box our feelings

inside a reason.

 

Intellectualize 

every season.

 

Never let our feelings

do the healing. 

 

There must be reasons,

for different seasons.

 

We tell ourselves,

to mask the feelings.

 

Let’s pop a pill 

to do the healing.

 

Distract our minds,

with scientific reasons.

 

Rationalize the struggle;

overworking is ...

sometimes

Alas, my emotions win tonight. 

I'm too exhausted to put up a fight.

How do I cling onto the light?

Jesus, my only hope, please make it alright.

Scars

It still hurts.

5 years.

It still hurts.

Just stay busy.

It still hurts.

Find a hobby.

It still hurts.

Help the needy.

It still hurts.

It's simple.

It still hurts.

Stop talking about it.

It still hurts. 

Why aren't you over it?

It still hurts.

Don't make it about you.

It still hurts.

Let it go already.

It still hurts.

It's irrelevant.

a time for laughter with the ones we love.
Full of special family traditions,
and praising our Father from above.

But life is unpredictable.
In a moment everything can change.
What was once loved and cherished,

5 years

 5 years. 5 years. 

If I scream

Past Sheep

Inch by inch,

piece by piece,

kicking down my walls, 

you invade my sleep. 

 

1 sheep, 2 sheep,

3 sheep, 4 sheep

hiding dark secrets,

did you forget to keep? 

 

Long sumer nights

but has anything changed?

a sheep is a sheep,

all of you are the same.

 

1, 2 

3, 4

pick your favorite part,

take a little more. 

 

You devour what's accessible,
