Depression and Sadness

I was living in darkness
My world came down 
Crashing on me
I felt like someone
Stabbed me and twisted
The knife and pulled 
My heart out of chest
I wanted to escape reality
I wanted to be erased
I wanted to die
I felt so alone
Friends really weren't friends
I had cut both wrists
I jumped into traffic
I still couldn't die y
It's not my time 
GOD replied when you finish
My assignments you will go home
I had overdosed on crack 
My heart had stopped by 
Grace of GOD and his healing and 
Miracles he showed me 
What my death bed 
Would be like if I 
Didn't get out of darkness
Go back to being in light
You can't serve two God's 
Our GOD is a jealous GOD
So I started to change
My surroundings and environments
And got olive oil and anointed my whole 
House speaking GET THEE BEHIND ME
SATAN YOU HAVE NO 
AUTHORITY IN THIS HOUSE NO
WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME
SHALL PROSPER GO TO 
THE PIT OF HELL WHERE
YOU BELONG IN JESUS NAME AMEN

ALL I CAN SEE 
WAS SHADOWS OF DARKNESS
SURROUNDING ME WHERE I GO
I HAD OPENED THE PORTAL
OF HELL AND DIDNT NO
I LET SATAN'S DEMONS INTO MY LIFE
I HAD TO PRAY AND ASK GOD 
TO TAKE THESE EMOTIONS
FROM ME MAKE ME PURE
FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS 
COME INTO MY HEART
AND GUIDE ME SHOW ME 
HELP ME AND LOVE ME 
TAKE THIS HURT 
PAIN ANGER RESENTMENT
ABANDONMENT NEGLECT
RAGE SUICIDE THOUGHTS
HOMICIDAL THOUGHTS 
AND GUILT AND BLAME 
AND SHAME AND SORROW 
AWAY FROM MY HEART
MY CHEST IS POUNDING 
IT HURTS SO BAD
NO ONE LOVES ME
NO ONE WILL ACCEPT
ME OF WHO I AM
NO ONE CARES FOR ME
NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME 
WHY AM I HERE ON EARTH
MY OWN CHILDREN HATE ME
WHAT DO I POSSIBLY HAVE 
LEFT HERE LET ME DIE
MY WORLD HAS BEEN
TORN UPSIDE DOWN
I HAVE NOTHING
WHY WONT YOU JUST LET 
ME DIE I DON'T BELONG
HERE ANYMORE
THEY DON'T LOVE ME
NOR DO THEY WANT ME
IN THEIR LIVES
IM SO DEPRESSED
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

Forgiveness

I was living in darkness
I was blindsided by love
I wasn't in love 
I don't want to be alone
I was looking for love
In wrong places
I was not in my right state
I was mentally ill
I chose a man 
Over my children 
In my eyes
Not true at all
I made bad choices
Big huge mistakes
Bad decisions I can change
The present by what I learned
From those mistakes or choices
We fall down 
We get back up again
I am sorry for hurting you
Please forgive me

No one is perfect
I have learned 
How to listen to you
How to show u love
I had to go through
Twisters of storms
To realize reality 
Was not a dream
I was incoherent
I was hardheaded
I started to give up 
My world my life 
Has been stolen from me
My children are my World 
I was sick needed help
And had learned my mental
Disease and addiction
Does to ur brain
Behaviors of anger erupt
NEVER SAY THINGS OUT
OF ANGER YOU MIGHT REGRET
I am sorry for the negative things you
Said I said I NEVER meant those words
Please forgive me

I thought we shared a lot
Good memories as a family
The good times out ways
The bad times we had
I had tried to teach you
Respecting your elders 
And when we talk to do it calmly
We don't have to scream 
Things you saw me do was not right 
I was unaware I had did 
Those bad things in front of you
I wasn't wanting to see
The whole picture I was 
Teaching You manners 
And honour and obey
No child is to talk back
Or be disrespectful to parents
I never beat you
I am sorry please forgive me


When I had lost you all
I lost hope Faith on
Everything I was blaming 
Myself which is part to blame
My actions got all my things
I love taken away
GOD said he won't
Put more on you than
You can bare
How am I supposed to love 
I was never loved 
So I did things for you
My mother never did for me
All I wanted was to love u 
And keep you safe from harm
I NEVER had that from mine
All I wanted was to be best
Mother I NEVER had
Give you unconditional love
I never had gotten
I am sorry for not listening to u
Please forgive me



I deserve to have a second chance 
To show u I'm not the same
I know what to do if I get upset
I know now to not take anger out 
On you all and destroy things
Or try to harm myself
I have been able to control
Maintain my anger and listen
To your needs or wants
Spend time with you all
Individually and as family
Let's move forward and start
Over fresh and new beginning
And let me show you what I have learned
You have to try to forgive me 
I am sorry for what happened
Please forgive me

Love and Romance

You are my heart my life my everything my world my love
We have been separated from our love for ten years
I had feelings for you when u were 16 I dreamed that we would be together
Years had passed we seen each other again didn't know who we were 
Next morning an amazing bright light shined on my face then we knew 
That this is our destiny to be with one another and we haven't left 
We have an amazing love that can't be explained 
You were always my love 

When I look into your eyes I can see the light that shines bright 
Your beautiful eyes shows me that I'm in your heart.  Am I right?
I watch u sleep at night you wrap your arms around me so tight
I feel safe and secure in your arms at night
We miss each other before were gone to start off our day
It feels like we're in puppy love phase but we are way pass that now
We have been neglected of love for so long we have never been loved
So now we're together and we are showing each other what love feels like

Love

Love is magical
Love is pure
Love is amazing
Love is wonderful
Love is romantic
Love is beautiful
Love comes from your heart
Love is loyalty
Love is faithfulness
Love is caring 
Love is sharing
Love is true to each other needs
Love is heartbreaking
Love is trusting one another 
Love is listening to each others needs or wants
Love Is not being abused
Love is respecting each others opinions or needs or wants 
Love is communicating with one another
Love is treating him like the King he supposed to be
Love is treating her like the Queen she suppose to be
Love is to b cherished 
Love is love it comes from within your heart
