Unto Thee

This freeing point reminds me,
Of Thy removal of all my pain.
This growth confirms in one seed,
Thy ability to change every grain.

This feeling restores my hope in Thee,
Of who I am and where I’ll be.
I find grace inside Thy life’s meaning,
And plans for me through all eternities.

Every law and choice is within Thee,
For Thou didst create everything,
And with the fall, Thou didst redeem,
Purchasing all with Thy bleeding.

I’ve paid the price to know Thy sacrifice.
Freedom is now mine, for I am Thine.
I was up for sale, but only Unto Thee,
In exchange of my life, for Heaven’s deeds.

This life of strife and gain is miraculous to me.
I’m ready to face my path, and win in dignity.
I owe myself to Thee, for I am not my own.
Thou dost own me, and I am finally home.

With this great suffered offering,
Thou hast given of Thyself for all,
I will bless all wandering through beckoning,
Giving my heart to break down all walls.

I’m in this place, because it’s where Thou art,
Becoming more like Thee, as I follow Thy heart.
This place is mine too; there’s plenty of room.
I want you here, so come unto Christ’s truth.

If you are not here yet, let me help you bear.
Together we will share every care; prepare,
For He is aware, and will draw you close in prayer.
With full commitment, we'll arrive there.

I pray we’ll have more joy to exceed the pain,
And life more abundantly from all the rain.
I thank Thee my Lord, for showing me Thy way,
Forever Unto Thee, I rejoice every day!

Break My Chains

Take my hand and lead the way,
Tell me all you want to say.

Whisper softly in my ear,
All those things I want to hear.

Kiss my lips and touch my skin,
Bring out passions deep within.

Pull me close and hold me near,
take away my pain and fear.

In the darkness of the night,
be my beacon, shine your light.

In the brightness of the sun,
show me that you're the one.

Give me wings so I can fly,
for I can soar when you're nearby.

Enter my heart, break down the wall
It's time for me to watch it fall

I've been a prisoner, can't you see?
Break my chains and set me free.

Strip me of my armor tight,
you'll find I won't put up a fight.

Release my soul held deep within,
for you're in my heart;
where love belongs.

Premium Member My Unforgivable Sin

Day of prayers and thanks, my sister died, 
left alone you tried hard to save her life. 
I fell on my knees losing hope and cried; 
you let go of your anger on your wife.

I stare, unable to utter a sound, 
hiding the pain, trying not to break down.
Shuddering with horror my hands are bound.
Inside I am drowning wearing a frown.

He steps in my life and shows some kindness, 
blissful pleasure like flowers adoring.
The sincere love he shows is my weakness. 
Surrendering my life is worth living.

I know my sin is unforgivable.
Your silence and glares unforgettable.

Premium Member Married On Television

They got married on T.V with all the regalia.
Watched by a camera, somewhere in Australia.
Under the microscope, living false lives.
Women with husbands, and men with wives

Observing as I do through my own little box.
Proves most humans are mental? except Mr Cox.
They cheat and hurt, there’s ninety days of pain.
And the experts advise but never explain. 

They have tried to find love in a bar-less zoo.
Forced to have sex and analyse as they do.
It’s all good T,V as long as everyone gets hurt
A nice pay day, but your heart’s the dessert.

Hats off to the experts, who encourage non-stop.
And bravo to the players and narcissists who flop.
Contestant begging to keep their marriages afloat.
And an emotional break down, through a scripted note.

Taking part in a circus so what did they expect?
Some lost their cherries, all lost their self-respect.
Reality telle, watching the pointless squirm on a nail.
Ratings through the roof when their futile lives fail.

Masquerade

Bury your guns deep in the sands of time
Break your daggers in half and leave them behind
Unclench you fist and loose your stare of hate
Live in love today before tomorrow comes to late

Masquerade the truth to hide your inner lie
Masquerade your soul and surely you will die
Masquerade freedom and war will increase
Masquerade your cause and live in peace
Masquerade your fear or fall upon your lance
Masquerade the fight and give the world a chance

Disarm your bombs before they suddenly kill
Rip up your message of malice that you daily quill
Douse the fires that you start and burn
Cross the lines of war sign the treaty to overturn

Masquerade the truth to hide your inner lie
Masquerade your soul and surely you will die
Masquerade freedom and war will increase
Masquerade your cause and live in peace
Masquerade your fear or fall upon your lance
Masquerade the fight and give the world a chance

Sheath your sword before your heart turns cold
Break down your divided walls and simply grow old
Sink your ships and swim to your homes shore
Return to a clear young mind like we all had before

Masquerade the truth to hide your inner lie
Masquerade your soul and surely you will die
Masquerade freedom and war will increase
Masquerade your cause and live in peace
Masquerade your fear or fall upon your lance
Masquerade the fight and give the world a chance

I'M Sorry

I'm sorry I'm not perfect
That I mess up and make mistakes
I'm sorry that I don't care 
I'm sorry that you hate me
For how much I've changed
From all the pain that you have caused me
I'm sorry that I lied; I do care
And I'm sorry that I let you get to me

I'm sorry I never told you how I feel
How awkward it was alone with you
And how I could never find my voice 
I'm sorry that I'm too nice, too forgiving as you've said 
I'm sorry that you hate me for not forgiving you
After that night you made me break down
When you claimed you found my breaking point; something you didn't have

I'm sorry I gave you the power to hurt me 
Which you always did
And even when I thought you didn't, you did know
I'm sorry your feelings were the only important things at the end of the day
And that you would hurt others just to hurt me
I'm sorry that you lied and made me doubt
Everything and everyone

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you
Only because you always pushed me away
I'm sorry for disappointing you; for apologizing 
Even though you hated it

Most of all, I'm not sorry we're no longer friends
Just sorry I never said goodbye

Premium Member Box

There was a young girl, who
was often put in many boxes.
She was put into a box by
family members. Because she
was a bit shy and awkward. 
Resulting in the box of feeling
like an outcast. Life was hard 
and she got treated differently
because she wasn’t pretty 
enough or thin enough. 
Resulting in a box of low 
     self-esteem. 

When she went to school she 
got put into another box. And
she had trouble focusing and
paying attention. Going to 
school was so much of a 
struggle that she would 
often daydream. Her box 
was her mind, due to the 
fact that she didn’t learn 
like other people.
When she would write she would 
often leave out words. She felt
so dumb. Years later she found 
out that she had a learning
disability. What saved her is she 
could always write a good story. 
Although it was not grammatically 
              correct. 

Her life changed when she found 
writing. That girl started to believe 
in herself more. Although she 
continues to struggle with how 
she learns that young lady will
not be confined to any box. 
She will break down any box 
that she finds herself in. 
Whether it’s feeling like an
outcast, having low esteem,
or feeling dumb. Feeling in-
competent originated In
          her mind.

Puppy Love

Puppies roll on chocolate heavens floor
Covered in flour, powdered sugar for sure
Syrup spills over pans in the bakery shop
Aluminum is chewed with cinnamon buns

Hungry playful hounds prefer raw meat
The butcher shop is right next door
Comes in handy with nice steaks
A pinch of salt is all it takes

Alligators enter from the swamp
Break down the door without knocking
Not there to shop
No reservations for dining
How rude they are
Not looking for chocolate

The bakery is for special occasions
Butcher shops are lots more fun
Puppies are the flavor of the day
Covered in chocolate and cinnamon buns
That taste just right going down the alligator

Warrior Bride

She left the country where she was raised,
To pursue her endeavors, no longer a slave,

She climbed mountains and swam through swamp lakes,
To be relieved from all the past hurts and mistakes,

She tread upon scorpions,   demolished serpent skins,
To connect with a fire that burned deep within,

She ran from the flock only to be brought back again,
To teach this new remnant how to boldly fend,
For…
Everything and anything noble and true,
Break down the borders of doubt and ridicule,

All that aspire to conquer what is right,
Sinister smiles that feed on broken appetites,

Graves that are rolling and men who control
Chants in the night intended to steal someone’s soul

Laughter of failure,A spirit in tears
This warrior princess helped many in fear.

She ripped out the thorns that lagged in her side,
To humble her heart and swallow her pride,

She drank of the water that brings bones back from the dead,
To deepen her love and renew what was in her head,

She gave with a smile and listened to their pain,
To heal those in trouble with divinity rain,

She took on a role that others despised,
To enable the weak to look up and arise,

She knew it was time to fight with all her might,
To allow the Holy Spirit to make her destiny right,

She spoke to the masses and sang to the stacks
To a beautiful melody of  "I am never going back."

Sit with me

Come and sit with for a while
And tell me exactly how you feel
Come and sit with me for a while
And I will listen to your dreams
The sparks have gone out of your eyes
And the joy has disappeared from your smile
A week ago, you were the star of the show
And the energy you had baffled everyone
Now dark circles have gathered around your eyes
And every time I look at you
 I want to break down and cry
This moment will soon pass
And destiny will give you a brand-new start
Come and sit with me for a while
And let me listen to your heart mummer
Your spirit is strong
and I know that you can carry on
You are not done yet but you
have caused the whole world to fret
The momentum you had has gone down
with the sun but once again
you have to rise up and run
The world is full of  supposition
and no one can grasp it all
Let courage push you along
And  the universe will  
help sing your new song
You have the power in you to do
All the things that you want to do
Cast your fear aside and the multitude
will be your guide
Come and sit a while with me
And set your spirit free
Let me penetrate your beautiful smile
and journey with you through the night
Open your heart and let the rhythm flow
And destiny will show you which way to go
Come and sit a while with me
and enjoy my company.
