Why Me

His anger is as powerful as a thousand galloping horses coming straight at your chest!  I've been beaten. He suffocates.  He overwhelms and it takes days to recover. Exhaustion sets in as you lay lifeless at his mercy to attack anywhere he chooses. He doesn't discriminate with his choice of victims. You have avoided him for years racing through life like a nascar racer meets each round to catch up time wasted and yet we all have the same goals. When he decides to have mercy the scars remind you of that you are simply an unreserved outcome that has a cycle to repeat itself. Death would give you pleasure to cease the torture for one more day if you have to replay this event with a disappointment as a child getting tube socks for christmas and not the race car you intended on receiving. The title of this blasphemy that repulses you is called only by one name. Even in preparation you can slip into it's grip. My goodness i hate the flu season!

Expression

WE are our own reflection of what's going on inside. Yet still at each intersection it's such a pain sometime's to decide. I do not believe things just happen. No matter what i need to achieve I do what needs to be done so in the end i am glad then. I keep my head up no matter the storm nor day. I pray for family,friends,and those who stray. Life can leave you battered. Life can leave you torn. No matter my struggle I remember the day christ was born or better yet when he rose. I don't focus on his death because I am forgiven because of how he died an believing in him is the path i chose. He gave me life and tomorrow is never promised. It's hard to be a christian in today's day and time to be honest. You want so much for people to see. It took me years to understand why i truly believe. It's not up to me but only to plant those seeds. Having christ in my life is the greatest gift. I do my best and remember no ones perfect. So who ever reads having god in you heart is something serious you should cherish.The bible says love is the greatest commandment and that he wishes none would perish. It's so simple to get to heaven you speak with your mouth and believe in your heart. Believing christ died on the cross for our sins and rose the third day is exactly where you start. Did you do it as you were reading that's all it takes? Christ forgives you for your mistakes. Now it's time to forgive yourself an start over. His yoke is easy an burden is light. Let christ be your shoulder and as you get older in the spirit he blesses you with insight. You have to get to jesus for your relationship to grow and reveal. He isn't just in stories. He gave my life purpose and something real. It's easy to get lost in this angry and evil life. Sorry this was so long winded as i write. I JUST WANTED TO SAY LOVE you all and good night.

Trials and Tribulation

Your own discontent! It's your selfish pride no compliments! Battered as seasonally as the tide. It's written on your face your  mask can only hide! Listening to the winds of solitude no ancient secret is your stress. You aren't isolated. Everyone gets lost in this mess and fails the most simple and complicated of tests! No matter the cost you can't afford to just give up! Moving forward from this lesson is how you force through what may seem rough! Hopelessness we all have felt  as if a blade from a piercing knife. It's like a marriage and it's vows between loving husband and loyal wife. Til death do us part in this threesome she is cunning  we call her life!

Just Me

A picture is worth a thousand words? Well if my brain serves me correctly i can describe to you touch,taste, shapes,colors,and emotions in abundance in even just a single memory! If we didn't have our memory then even at this our mind can imagine all these things and relate from a past experience. I can proudly say i haven't lost my touch and that's a gift in itself. The simple things that make even the most tragic of events have value and can be upheld in a positive way. Regret? Nope! Growth! I am as they call it an optimistic person. I am a survivor!

I Believe

When no one else understands! When no one listens! When nothing goes right. When no one  sheds my tears! When no one sees my boundaries. When everyone leaves! When i fall short! When i put in all the work! When i don't even understand what it all means. I believe!

Rip Tyler

You were twenty and about to graduate college when you made a fatal mistake! Two days ago i lost you and was reminded of what i should appreciate. The memories that we share hold the most value in my possession! This insight i describe came from the lord i shared in my poem on poetry soup. It was called expression! My dad shared you called at age ten and gave your heart to the lord! You were taken to soon but now you have no pain and gain with christ your reward. You will never be forgot because you were in my past and present in my soul. I love you my dear cousin see you when my days grow to be old. We will meet again and share my first time in heaven as we did at disney universal. Sorry if this poem is abrupt. I wasn't  planning a rehearsal.  He was my cousin and died at age twenty two. RIP Tyler Stiles  and my love always and my prayers too  anyone who has lost someone. If your reading this i mean you!

Wait

I prayed as a 17 year old girl that the lord would send me a husband that would complete me,  yet the lord said wait. My body longed for a child three years later to the date. The lord heard my cries and said only one thing my child you must wait. I filled the space of my missing father in search for what i wanted and came up empty handed. The lord said stop and again wait is all he commanded. I questioned my faith and doubted my god because of immaturity and lack of discipline. I messed up college and a good job mentally confused due to some abuse and god spoke again. Wait he demanded. I chased what i thought in my mind again i needed and was left insecure and mistreated. Indeed free will makes endless room for mistakes and as i turned thirty the lord spoke again and reminded i've never left through whatever you have faced. My trust again proven misguided believing in falsehood and should've done as the lord has said repeatedly wait! Convincing myself  i had  found the one i prayed for so long ago and ashamed yet again that  i failed to to appreciate and realize why the lord had me wait. My mother admitted she had been praying. It was right on point with what god had been saying. She asked that god give me my best friend. She told me slow down i have my whole life to to get to know him. I was frustrated and impatient i somberly admit. I lacked  loyalty,faith, and courage. My years was sculpting me into this perfect mold . A mold of imperfection but perfect to endure the reason why the lord  placed my request on hold to the  date ! My mother and i only asked but god was preparing me to fit perfectly with my soul mate!

Taking My Joy

Your misery is my destruction. Your anger is my pain. Your tongue is like a sword. Puncturing every inch of it's gain. Forgiveness complicates wounds that haven't healed.  Wide open it remains. Your harmful demeanor influences constant affliction with laughter at my rain. With wisdom brings strength being an opponent in this chapter. Your personality is an apocalypse  . What happened to me in this rapture?  Sometimes i wish to be asleep when all we do is fight. I die daily and repeat the cycle to get strength for one more night.
