Betrayal and Deceit Aug 6 2011

Imagine the burden that she must carry,
weighing heavy within her soul.
Lost inside the maze of life
and robbed of all control.

Confused beyond recognition
and viewing herself damaged beyond repair.
Her eyes are lacking the light that brightens her spirit,
left with only darkness and despair.

Everyday her heart is filled with to much emotional pain,
stripping her right down to the core.
Exposing every detail she has wanted to hide,
every inch of her hit the floor.
 
Now publicly probed, poked and torn apart,
to ashamed to look in the mirror.
Replaying over and over the images of betrayal and deceit,
she has to face her biggest fear.

Stabbed in the back by the ones she trusted most
and then tossed away like a piece of trash.
Disregarded as though she never even mattered,
it hit her like  head on crash.

No premonition, no advanced notice, not even a warning,
just a slap across the face.
No explanation, not even a reason why,
just all alone and confused in such an awkward place.

She was found clinically crazy and mentally unstable,
with a profound misguided sense of deception.
Her world is now voices, visions, distrust and fear,
she is now considered the "exception."

Deep Pain Aug 15 2011

Dedicated To: 
Marion Shaver

You've been thrown quite a curve ball
blindsided by your terminal size amount of pain.
You have already lost so much, what is left,
just the many questions is all that remains.

Life is one big lesson, 
everyday we have something new we must have to learn.
Your life lesson today is strength,
as a favor, here's a little extra to you in return.

You are a much stronger woman than you realize,
close your eyes and dig deep down inside.
Remember the Lord is always there for you,
standing strong at your side.

Life is extremely precious,
live it one day at a time.
The Lord will be there if you need him to carry you,
up the highest mountian you could climb.


Boggled Down Aug 7 2011

Boggled down and dragging behind,
maybe I'm carrying around to much weight.
I would never ask but I am really in need of a helping hand,
vulnerable and helpless, two emotions I really hate.

My brain is always running in overdrive,
it's hard for me to keep things straight.
I can't concentrate and I lack the ability to stay focused,
I have alot stacked up on my plate.

The pile just keeps getting bigger,
a little more and more each day.
As each day passes  it's all getting harder to hide,
I might as well place all of my business out on display.

Each morning when I wake up and every night before bed,
I ask the Lord above to grant me one prayer request.
Take away this mental madness, I don't want it anymore,
so I finally can put my mind to rest.

I don't understand why me, 
why did I get saddled with this horrible disease.
After talking with the Lord it was because I was strong enough,
to be able to handle whatever it turned out to be.

Kamikaze Blitzkrieg Schnell Aug

Soul.

How useless.

The essence and smell of mortality is released in death.

Those who have no good reason to live,

Live only by sense of superiority

Supported by sheer unbridled arrogance, raw and rank,

but the only proof of life.



die quick
die soon,
die incomplete
as death remains whole and total

i feel under valued though i know its not fair 
because he thinks he does everything to show me he cares 
why isn’t it enough? why do i still feel this ache? 
because he & i love in a different way

Light Aug-23

Trickling water, a natural bell
flows in rivets with carved rock.
Lush ferns spring up in the crevasses
rather alike the children of the water.
I hear the wind call me,
as I step onto the grassy ground.
Turning to face the sun,
my shadow falls behind me.

Chasing Aug-23

Dreams gallop up the mountains
ascending like a wild spirit set free.
Meanwhile we step onto the path,
trepidation up to our knees.

aug 11

i don’t think that i’m happy but i can’t pinpoint why 
i try to clear my jumbled thoughts and just want to cry 
one sided conversations- do my thoughts not matter? 

i try to reciprocate with a silent nod or disinterested grunt 
but my heart and mind can’t keep up the front 

i care about every thought, quirk, idea, and trait 
i need someone that cares just the same
