Broken Heart
My heart is filled with so much sorrows. It is aching from disappointments, betrayals, deceptions and lies. How can I stop it from hurting, from crying, and from screaming in pain. My heart is no longer whole, but in fragments. How could I start mending you when I need you to cope. Where do I...

Death Has Crossed My Horizon
I do not heal as when I was young— Time has slowed its gentle hands, And left me in a hush of dusk, With brittle bones and shifting sands. The skies I once believed would stay Have wept their stars and turned away, And I—still dreaming—drift between The shadowed now, the might-have-been. My dreams are lucid, sharp as glass, Each night I walk the...

Yet I Stand
Where do I stand When presented with a choice Transported by a full force That lands me in a false chance Yet, I stand. Breaking the shackles That held me in my ankles So tight like a buckle Wrapped in my knuckles Yet, I stand. What is given is a Token The heart that bleeds is broken The life that fades is taken Certain thoughts can't be...

Broken Girl
Alcohol to numb the pains. Cigarettes to taste something other than hate. Sex to escape the constant loud voices in my head. Makeup to hide the broken girl inside. So put together, so stylish, so grown up and mature. Little did they know that girl was always manic, depressed, and anxious....

A Broken Mirror
A battered pier glass, the length of a running lightning, The width of a Caesarean window, And next to an agelong, framed Daguerreotype, lies face down across A musty room. Shafts and rods of robust sunlight from cracks and holes Make it less dingy. The smell of arrogant tobacco haunts the breath From the shattered floor tiles to the somnolent ceiling. Shards and smithereens,...

His Broken Soul
His Broken Soul I was a spark in morning’s light, But that... has faded out of sight. I don’t know, Father—do You forgive? Yet clouded with pride, I struggle to live. My heart bleeds. I only wanted to be seen. But it’s been centuries—maybe more— And still, I stand outside Your door. Father, I confess, I did You wrong—and I regret. But this...

Heartbroken yet not broken
“I’d rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time, than hold a permanently empty heart forever.” –H.C. Paye ........................................................... Pure wickedness sets you apart, Meanwhile, true love you led me to assume. You purposefully broke my heart, Leaving my vases filled with wilted blooms. Yet I deter not; my heart lives to love, Through many heartbreaks, still I'm...

The System Isn't Broken, The People Running It Are
There’s no difference between a classroom and a Chinese sweatshop. No thinking, No talking, No creative expression whatsoever. Give us your whole day and you will receive minimal reward for your indoctrination. ...

The Day the Chains Were Broken
No trumpet blew, yet thunder came, From streets once hushed, now lit with flame. A tyrant's crown was cast away, By barefoot hearts who dared to stay....

Beautiful Eyes
Beautiful eyes Tell vicious lies In the middle of a storm I’m not surprised I haven’t cried Searching for your warmth I love you But who knew You didn’t feel the same Did you love me too Or was I just new? Your favorite little game A brand new toy For you to enjoy My light died within me I fell for a boy It was me he destroyed Forever lost in...

Not My Own
I am not my own Maybe I never was But now I’m simply alone I’m worthless Hiding in my mind With no one to impress Why can’t I be mine? No one close but evil eyes Praying on my downfall No matter what, they ignore my cries Watching as I crumble...

YOU TOLD ME
You told me you could never leave You told me you would never say goodbye You told me you never wanted to be free But you told me a lie—just another goodbye Your words were empty, your promises all broken You had me believing, but now I just cry Your ‘I love yous’ were just lies you told” Trying to forget but...

Premium Member We are out of time because heaven's time keeping clock has been broken
I found this on a You Tube Christian podcast: An elderly woman, when she was 66 years old, became critically sick for two years and was abandoned by all but not by our God! Friends and family members were totally worn out from taking care of her and not because a lack of their compassion. They found...
