No Way Out

I had pain down inside at times the pain hurts so bad I could not hide. Thought 
after thought running through my head, to the point at one time I wish I was dead. 
My heart was sad my mind was mad, and at times every decision I made was 
bad. I don't understand why my life has took this way, but soon time will tell me 
about this day. I still don't understand why me, but now I know my pain will 
prepare me for my destiny.

Again and again I go through this mess, however, I will put one foot foward and I 
will try to do my best. I still have hopes and dreams. Day by day I will start to take 
that road to conquer those things, that seem hard at this time and far away from 
any human being. As kids we all have our dream made out and as things don't 
go right we began to pout.

In my world I am by myself at times not having any hope left. Everyone needs 
something to believe in. I put my faith in God and not in men.  Therefore, 
to a person lost in depression this is a big deal take all of their thoughts, 
dreams and conversations  for real. I am asking from the bottom of my heart 
please do not judge. However, just show that person that you care. At that time 
the only important thought is that they just want to know that someone is there.

A Victim

A  VICTIM

I was told I should not have any contact with you. Maybe I can put all of 
this behind me if you know how I feel. It might not be a problem to you, but I want 
you to imagine what I feel. Don't take it personal I just want to get a few things off 
my chest. It might take a few tears, but I will do my best.

Exactly a few years ago everything was taken away from me even my ego. 
Sometime I feel like a piece of me is gone, however I have moved on. That day 
changed my life, and  with help from God I will one day be a loving man's wife. I 
somtimes sit and think what went wrong, why you didn't leave and leave 
me alone. It might sound strange that I forgive you with all my heart, because one 
day my soul will have to part.  TELL ME! Does that day go through your head? At 
the beginning it was so bad I wished I was dead.

When I lie down and close my eyes there is your face and no matter how hard I 
try I can not hide from that day. Dream after dream night after night it's a struggle 
to sleep, and I constantly fight. One day that time will come when we will meet 
face to face back in  "HELL" is where I call that place. I want to know why, why did 
you do this to me, you took everything even my insanity. Therefore, by the grace of 
God I will live day to day, but not one day has pass thinking have you found your 
way.

That day has come and gone. and I have had evil thoughts of what I want to do 
you. The same thing you have done to me. I am a forgiven person I will just let it 
be. I felt something for you, and I know you are lost. However I know God will 
guide you to his cross. Seek him, because he knows you, get down on your 
knees and he want you to get to know him too.  As you are down there ask him 
what is it that he wants you to do.

Again if you ask for forgiveness God will forgive you and from the bottom of my 
heart I will forgive you too.

A Void

My life is everything that I feel, some parts doesn't even seem real. Days go by 
were I am starting to feel old. Therefore, parts of my life effects my soul. It feels 
like I have a big void in my life, no matter what I say or do it just doesn't seem 
right.  At times I am by myself  with nothing to do. People tell me it just takes one 
and not  two.
 My blessing has come and gone, now I feel like I can not hang on. Tell me what 
is that void missing out of my life. It feels like it's not having a complete family or 
being a wife. I pray and ask God to give me strength, because I can't take 
anymore. I didn't think part of my life required me having to pick you up off the 
floor.
 Lonely, scared, sad and many more feelings in between. However, this is one 
picture I did not want to be seen. Tell me why do I have this hole in my heart. I 
hope it will leave and not take a part of my soul. My soul was giving to me by God 
and I want to give it back. It's hard at times, because it's something in my life that 
I lack.
  All my feelings life and soul was giving to you. In your hand you are giving it 
back, because you don't  know what to do. I remember your exact words. "GET 
OUT AND TAKE YOUR THINGS". I guess you forgot, I worked hard and all those 
things I did bring. I know you told me you were trying to make it day by day, but I 
know without me you will forget your way.
 I know you were not perfect and neither am I,  but all you did was tear out my 
heart and made me cry. I love you with all my heart and always will, but my soul I 
will not let you keep or steal. I am finally saying good-bye and walking out  the 
door and this part of my life will not cause a void anymore.

A True Friend

A true friend is someone who is always there.
                                A true friend is someone who always care.
                                      A true friend is someone to talk to.
                                    A true friend is someone you can call 
                                    when you don't have anything to do. 
                                         A true friend is always sweet .
                        A true friend is somone you know when you first meet.
                                 A true friend is there through thick and thin.
                                A true friend is there for you over and again.   
                         When you find that friend keep them close to your heart, 
                                        because a true friend will never part.

Acceptance

Accepting life goals even at times when I feel low.

Accepting the things that are in me even if it's not where I want to be.

Accepting my ups and downs in every situation and the things that are around.

Accepting me the person who God had made me to be.

Accepting every part of my life even at times when it did not seem right.

Accept me as who I am not what you want me to be, because God died not only 
for you, but also for me.

Who Am I

I wonder at times, who I am 
                                                 or who do I want to be.
                                    I want to be the sun that shines so bright
                              because that makes everything happy and also
                                                       provides light.
                                         
                                 I want to be clear as the ocean and blue 
                                   were you can look down and see the fish
                                                 swimming through.

                                 I want to really be me, but at times I find
                              that hard, because I do not know who I really am 
                                                   or who I want to be.

                                Nice, kind and loving indeed, that is who I am
                                 Now I will just take a chance at being me.

It's Not About You

Stop, look and listen to me 
                                      about  what I have to say if you don't 
                                remember anything else just remember this day.

                                             I never wanted to hurt you in anyway                                     
                                          but you keep ignoring me and my love
                                               for you in a round about way.

                                  Everyone was out to get you in everything that you do. 
                            I was the person who was always there to pull you through. 
                                   I am not pointing a finger or placing a blame. 
                             I just wanted you to feel the same, about me and everything
                               I did was for you. I Know I left and I will never return 
                                  it should not matter anyway its not your concern.
