Weight That Thought Me
I carried stones inside my chest, Each one a name I could not speak. They built a wall beneath my breast, A fortress made of worn-out ache. I carried rivers in my veins, The floods of all I held too long. They carved their maps through years of strain, A quiet, slow, unspoken song. I carried winters in my bones, The weight of every...

Beyond the Paper Gate
Now you stand at the threshold of shadowed trials— a challenge cloaked in whispers of what may come. Debts awaken, ancient scribes of your past, etching secrets into the walls where you once stood. More debts rise to start anew, in lands where shadows whisper and command— money prowls with hungry eyes, blind to your status, deaf to the paper gate’s cries. Unyielding,...

Premium Member Hopping Trains
On Friday nights we’d sneak into the railyard and wait in the shadows between the floodlights for a train slow enough for us to hop, our hands already tingling with the promise of flight. We trotted beside the train, waiting for the right moment to grab a boxcar’s ladder and climb to the roof like outlaws— aware of the danger and thrilled by it— as the train...

Becoming
Time casts a heavy glow On the world I left behind, Transfixed on a new tomorrow, All the new seeds I’ll sow. Emerging is a new day, How the light blinds my eyes. Focus on the bright cascade Of this everlasting rise. Beneath the earth is trembling, My footsteps unsure and numb. The silence almost deafening— I can almost hear Hope hum. A quick glance back behind...

Overcoming the Storm
OVERCOMING THE STORM Into the storm I must venture, knowing that any attempt to flee only prolongs the ravages. Like any storm, it is relentless and destructive, just as a well-organized group of savages. It rips and tears at the flesh with sharp talons, trying to gouge deeper into the muscle. Perceived as high and lofty, it disregards...

Overcoming The Victim Mentality Written: by Miracle Man 3/17/2019 As God hath forgiven, HE commands of us the same, So as we learn to be responsible, we become forgiving. Our safety net's gone and there's none else to blame, Without God's forgiveness, we're existing, not living. Not forgiving is Satan's tool, always used to distract, And thoughts of retribution from within oft springs. In forgiving...

Sorrows and Joy
I feel so caged, Having to see the same walls, Over and over again. I think I’m losing my mind. I wish to see the whole world, But the dream Fades away in the blink of an eye. I am so lonely, I think I’m losing my mind. I feel life fades away, Until there is nothing to feel again. My smile turns to tears, Joy turns...

Yehovah El Olam
You are Yehovah God the Eternal. What You were You will continue to be; That which you are now you will always be. Therefore, I am not afraid. Let the high mountains fall down. Let the deepest seas dry up. Let fire consume all the earth. Let the flood wash all away. Let my enemies oppress. I will not tremble and fear. Yehovah you are...

Overcoming
If not force, then strategy But not just a speech prodigy Talking about what is and what should be Against God and men you set yourself free Blaming and accusing Jeering and smearing After having been awarded audience You speak devoid of conscience Yes you are discontent And you want to vent Temporal relief is sure But not...
