Shelby Jensen Poem
"Here it is...
Darkness closes in
They say 'be happy'
Where do I begin?
I guess therapy
But how will that end?
Will it work?
Can I go forever?
Will they make me stop?
Zoloft, lexapro, seratonin reuptakes
Here take these
And put on a happy face
Am I missing something?
Is this how life should be?
Taking drugs for life
Cause I don't feel happy
Photographers say 'smile'
I mean I can
But I'm in denial
I'm simply not a fan
Prison, jail
Life behind bars
That's depression's tale
Everything dim, even the stars
Every day is halloween
Always wearing a mask
Me, looking so pristine
Such a tiring task
But then...
The light shown through
He said 'you're mine'
I belong to you?
But I don't shine
'I will not leave you, never'
He is working in me
His love endures forever
I was blind but now I see
Devotions, fellowship, constant prayer
'Come to me, come just as you are'
Looking back, He was ALWAYS there
He never let me stray too far
I WAS missing something
NOW this is how life should be
My heart is full and I sing
He was and is and always will be there for me
No longer a fake smile
I know I can
No more denial
I am forever a fan
Church, Heaven
Life AFTER the cross
Jesus won
Sin and darknes lost
Everyday is new
Smilin', just 'cause
Every word true
Love. Does.

My soul waits to awaken in a place where life is unshaken

Shelby Jensen Poem
The breeze is strong
Unlike my will
The days, so long
How long until...
I speak out
I am heard
I don't shout
Every word
I know they care
They love me
They're always there...
...Apparently
Someone pull me out
Im living in a nightmare
Why do I always doubt?
My soul, my heart so bare
I'm always frightened of
The unknowns
No time for love
As hate sinks into my bones
Life so short
Yet I've gone nowhere
So many thoughts to sort
With happiness so rare
