Hammering hearts

Hammering heart
Where to start
Foggy brain
Feeling insane
Stammering words
No vocal cords
Trembling hands
Wish i had friends
Clammy feet
Trying to find a seat
Blushing face
This is no race
Survival at most
Not here to boast
With my eyes lifted above
I am saved by love

CHOICES

CHOICES

Light creeping up on me
No more darkness for me to see
Joy and laughter
Drives away tears and disaster
Kisses and hugs
Instead of misery and shrugs
I had to let go
Of what was and said no
To unforgiveness and pain
If not all would be in vain
I've been waiting so long
To be open minded and strong
Let me not reminice..
I choose light instead of darkness

It's time

I hear the watch.. Tick tock.. Tick tock in my ear
Trying to figure out why time makes me fear
Maybe its cause im scared of the future., the unknown
Or maybe its just time to accept im a queen and go sit on my thrown
Feeling numb day in and day out
By now I must know that thats not what life  is all about
Its not just heartache and pain
There's light in this darkness and umbrellas for the rain
Smiles and laughter is all I want
No one can tell me without a doubt 
That I am not strong and vigorous
That i can feel the thorns but still smell the rose
So today I am smiling, and putting on my crown knowing I'm a queen 
.... And then it's time to strike a pose

Release

Suffocating constantly 
Hands clutching my heart
Sweat running down my saddend face
Do I have a choice
I need to win this race

Eyes piercing into my soul
- scared of what you will see
I cant hide anymore
You are tearing me apart
Bare naked...my soul..my heart

You will see the heart wretching truth
Incarcerated deep down inside of me
Scars and deep founded wounds
Still seeping and raw
Please believe me I can explain what you saw

It was years of pain
Hardened words that broke me down
I have learned to look at everything with a frown  
...Trying, crying, fighting this battle alone...and then
I finally found you, my person, my own

Letting go

I needed someone to protect me
..not neglect me
I needed a hand to hold
But you with a heart so cold...
Not caring at all
You made me feel so small
So worthless
So I decided my life would be bliss
My life was a mess
But now I could care less
I wish you well
Hope for today and faith for tomorrow
I have peace in my soul and no more sorrow
