Four long years you've been gone.We miss you.Every year we have to realize more and more that you're gone. The pain unbearing. My heart still tearing. No more advice. No more caring touch. 
Knives thrust deep within the backs of others; Smiles that keep igorant minds at bay; Words that break barriers and bones alike; Deception and destruction and acts of strife.   In a world so empty of hope.
My boat drifts away from the dock I sit and watch my dreams die.   How do I say, “it is okay, you have a plan.” You do have a plan, right?   The boat drifts to the horizon, my stomach drifts with it.

It has been quite awhile, Lost in a world I did not belong in. Back to my roots where i was born in. Born again, Never looking back to the past that almost destroyed me. My mind melting, my thoughts clearing.

God I need you, can I take your hand? You're patience and mercy are something so grand. The things you give me I do not deserve. But still you're grace I continue to observe. You are my rock to which I cling.
Me, a piece of dust Floating around helplessly, hopelessly Waiting for something to happen Possibly a miracle But nothing appears to be happening   You, the charm of hope
Money is fabulous. Friends can be cool. However, what is life if I had nothing to look forward too? I need faith.  Without faith, I would be a living waste - sitting in disgrace.

War. Violence. Hate. Anger. Rage. Hurt. Our world has been destroyed. People are toyed. Where is the love? Who disturbed the peace? Evil is dancing. The Devil is grinning.
I miss my family every day. I think about each passing grain in the hourglass. I think about how desperately I’d rather be free than be here. However, I cannot begrudge the calamities which have been delivered,
Hope is one I cannot live without. She cradles me as I sob on my knees, scraping them on once-holy ground, now tainted by blood and hate. In the dark, she guides me, a beacon of light where none exists.

Fate works in mysterious ways Putting me through pain on most of my days Mental and physical, it has no preference For in my mind pain has taken up residence   But still I wonder for what reason this is
Raised to work Raised to survive Raised to live but never feel alive Raised to hate by twisted fates from prior hearts that had no ounces Raised to fail in the eyes of success
All I need is freedom... Praises to the authority When majority Promoted white robes as a conformity Of your suppression Waiting too long for legal protection

Since we were younger you've always loved and never had a reduced fascination with what seems to the world just a common animal,

I am a daughter of God, but in no way am I perfect   I am not a perfect daughter nor will I be a perfect bride.   I’m afraid to admit that the reflection I see might not even really be me.

Two mountains before me have been put,  Towards the first I look, 
When I was younger and the world was bigger I’d often travel far, far away To places where I was happy and unaware Drive on, drive on, until we reach tomorrow day

We are all just specks On the dirty, dirty hands

One of my biggest filters would be
Forget The World With Me?
  Sometimes I hold my head in my hands and sink into the sheets teeth in a soft lip turned chapped too much pushing on me from all sides from nowhere
The future is there
Without the filters who am I? Without the filters will I die?   Millions persuaded to become something they're not, only to find that out that what's inside....has changed a lot.  
I prayed for the patience to wait for you and finally here you stand
Gone is the color in their eyes. Because of the choice of one person, On the ground, they all fell down   The cries for justice, When these three went, They all die down.  
I am flawless because i am forgiven Washed to purity By love that wrote eternity A sinner declared saved I will never be betrayed I am loved by Him And when I fail He forgives again

Seit drei Jahren muss ich's ertragen,
Our days are no longer filled with faith and honesty; But with people who seem faceless. We can’t rely on the world and allow them to make up feel worthless;
Why does suffering exist If God loves us so much? Isn't he all-powerful? Then why can't he make traffic go faster, get rid of my flu, heal my daughter's cancer, bring back my husband?
To wish upon a star Is to latch your dreams onto the insubstantial To meld fantasy into reality And believe in something magical The tiny pinpricks of light Each the capital of its own nation
Hold on Turn around Take a look at what we've found I've had a hard time believing  That everything happens for a reason But I see it I see it now   I don't know where I'm going
I look in the mirror And I am you

A broken family With harmful words  A mind filled with caged birds Yelling, screaming float up above  headphones, earbuds singing love A pure mind, a white dove Slamming doors, broken windows 
Tonight, I can write about a broken moment in time,   About a lone wolf, Whose power and grace fell, As the heavens would cry, Shunned because she didn’t fit in, Didn’t agree with the status quo,
I Woke Up Like This... Faithful.  
I’m driving to the store. I look left at a stoplight; A girl is applying on mascara on her already thick lashes  In the limited time frame that we have and I think of
Dear brother, I wrote this poem to and for you.
  Her widsom to empower the future  to belive that a dream can  become a reality  no matter what boundary steps aside  there will always be " Widsom and Hope"
It isn't just a word we use For when things will be fine It isn't just said to amuse Or recite a religious line   It isn't just a simple lyric In a hymnal song
The alarm goes off. My sheets fly off me and my feet hit the ground running. My family wakes up. Mom is putting on her uniform and dad puts on his collar. My house comes to life. 
Scared in a world with a variety of people, the rejects, the nerds and quiet people . With the people who belong on stages and are natural leaders , those who belong at the steaple.
there comes times we have to be strong and admitt we are wrong .you can continue your journey  if  your not accepting youre own mistakes . mistakes are apart of  human nature and that is what makes us stronger
I stay positive for friends and foes. They're the ones who need it the most. I try to be the light of their lives. Just to keep them one more night. Alive. They need to know someone cares.
On the floor with no pulse, no time to grieve. I saw him stiff and cold,     the one who had embraced me in warm arms                      just that night.before.
See the faith in your own light Do not be lead by those who want you to see what captures their own sight Fallow the path that stretches infront of you
There once was a little girl Went home to the wrong house Hid it all, behind a smile Said I just need a little love But knew she’d never find it in that place She prayed, Lord, make me a butterfly
Love me. Hold me and never let me go. This world is too heavy for me to carry by myself and I cannot deal with these demons of mine on my own.
I declare a war, that has been necessary since the beginning of time, a war that has been put on hold for far too long.  A war that is without physical and seeable death, but full of pain and sorrow.  
How to be demonstrative of positive? I suggest gladness is an evocative, And through a consequence of the causative; a presence of your highest prerogative.   It’s rare to find care in a world of unfair.
The person beside me didn't study but I heard they got a 92 seating looking at my test doesn't even look like I tried my best.
  Since the moment you are created
Faith People say that we are molded by our experienes I have looked death in the face I have seen friends perish People have burned before my eyes My future was never certain Each day became a gift
When God Speaks you better listen. I’m hardheaded as shit. In one ear out the other type. I don’t wanna hear nothing no one or anyone has to say because I think I know everything.
A junior in high school, Falls into despair so quickly, Tries to go with the flow, To formulate a show, A star meant to glow, Lost its incandescence, Now seeking assistance, Is it too late?
Behind a shadow 
I wake just to hear my parents argue back and forth in fear. I didn't know what was going on.   As I listen, they yell at my sister... every denial from her made my dad angrier.
As we travel up the steep mountain, There are trials and tribulations we face That we overcome and proceed on
The Path
Why do I write? There was a time when I could say quite simply, Because I love it so. But since March 21st... It seems that isn't so. Now all I write about is the past
I've gotten tired lately, dreaming of a something. So abstract. So tiring.
I keep blocking it out Tying not to hear it Can't face the truth Can't bear to stand it   Trying to stay strong But it's so hard to do Because I can't help but hurt
A Prayer   Thank you Lord, For darkness and light, Thank you Lord, For giving me sight.
Courage, why have you left me
Here I sitand wonder why.Why am I here?Is it just to die?Or is there a reasonFor this crazy world?A reason to be hereto spin and to twirl?
Sometimes, enough is enough you tap out before the going actually gets tough nevertheless, no one else is in your position except you battling and fightng to get through
Upon this TreeWritten by Adam M. SnowLook upon this tree,a Man hung for us to see.
God's HeavenWritten by Adam M. SnowA vision splendid of the Heavenly scene,filled my mind with an image so clean:
This Lost LambWritten by Adam M. SnowOh by the morning strike of dayand by the calm obscure of night,
To the mother, to the child, to the lover, to the fool,  
When my wings got seared off by the sun, when i free fell, saw the ashes of my hopes and dreams gently floating after me, I thought I was done, that the ocean would end my agony
The same brain, body and gender.   Having a light make-up,   We go out.   Wearing pink dresses and high-heels.   As usual...  
jump head first into the flaming inferno because he told you so   try not to sweat when he calls you a pussy   let the third degree burns be a reminder to never trust a soul  
There is a world where society tell women their looks matter more than their brains And shoe shopping and lipstick are more coveted than Master’s Degrees and smiles.
What would you describe faith to be? would it be a feeling? Maybe an emotion, an action, or is faith a THING? I see faith to be something unseen, It's like walking blindfolded,
Him Something about him His laugh, his smile, something that's him This isn't like me
When I was three I watched the clouds form around my mother, I watched her retreat into herself. I watched my father leave And I became the protector.
He whispers through my being,aiding my growth as an individual.
We could fill an entire library With the things we never say to each other; Volumes upon volumes Of quiet "I'm sorry's" and tear-soaked "I love you's".   I told you once, a year ago
I live in this broad bubble that I all a life.  But i know thats not right.  I have become so scared of failing thatg I no longer try. Dulled passion just trying to get by 
Before proceeding, you must first understand one basic primordial idea that my family and I have lived with for most of our lives: the idea of one true God.
Why do I let the things that crush my soul Bruise my demeanor, my attitude, my outlook on life? Is it because my mind, a vast space filled with dreams of love and adventure, Hope and happiness, splendor and joy,
Everything that I have ever known is a lie. You don't realize it till someone say it in your face. I was living a life of sin. You take a step back and re-evaluate your whole life.
It rained,It rained on my parade,I tried to stop it,The incessant drizzling,The floods from God,The tears from heaven,I tried to stop it,But I couldn't, so it rained.
There are moments in the night when I wish for someone to lay next to me, embrace me in their arms, and not let me go till the moon finally takes its leave.
In less than a month's time, My world will change From the familiarity of my home and siblings To the unknown of university.   Who will I meet?  How will I progress? The infinite possibilities dash
I'm wondering if I'm going to heaven or hell. I should know just that so many lies people tell. Corrupts my intel. They say I'm destined for damnation. They put me on the spot like Dalmatians.
It’s vital to know, the stakes I conceive Are heaven or hell, nothing or rebirth But how can I know when I must believe?  
Wake up expecting, Forget the mistakes worth regretting, Stay in peace when the situation is upsetting.
She never thought the day would come; When pen, paper, and she, were one,  but what was a young foreign girl to do ? When no one could hear her silent cries. All she had was her notebook, who promised to hear.
Why can't we all get along and sing a song why must bullying occur everywhere and on the web Why can't these men be a father while the woman play both parts in a child's life
The day I gave you my life  shed tears the way you shed your blood for me  declared my love for you the way you've always shown your love for me that is when The Chase began..  the devil wanted me 
You may only have Two Feet but A step at a time is All it Takes.
I want to go inside the head of someone elsethat way I can think thoughts that are beyond myselfI want to know what they know, see what they see,I wonder if they even think about me.
Sweetheart, let me in.It's time for our lives to b
I reach for the canister of ash And take my thumb and smear it On my neck, like a holy gash.   I wear my thread every day. I don't question my faith and I never look the other way.  
She looks like heaven  to me She says no but that's okay not everyone can see The way her eyes shine in the morning
When we met, you were just another girl But now for some reason you are my world I havent seen you in a while but it cool My heart says otherwise, maybe i'm a fool The days go by, we hardly speak nowdays
Growing up you took care of me no matter how bad i was you gave me food and a roof and a mothers love from hugs and kisses to beatings and punishment i laugh so much when i think of all of it
She looks at it. It looks at her. Like looking in a mirror. Nature vs. Nurture. She reclines her seat As she watches the breeze Whisk around the palms And give ache in her feet.
My skin, my bones are crumbling.   My remains are becoming dust.   And from my decomposing self,   I hope that your flowers will grow,  
Feel the breeze sweep listfully forward As you creep slowly toward, That goal you see in you mind   Don't stress about the small things Just focus and grow your wings, Don't let anyone tell you "no"
You are always there...   When the sun starts its rise The stars and paint merge their glows The night's soft demise As the surrealism flows No matter how unreal Whatever reality may be
I am fragile. To look at me you would see a young woman standing at 5 ft. 3 inches and think “Of course she is fragile.” But no… My stature does not determine my strength.
4 years ago i thought, "i will never make it", i almost gave up, but instead i faked it,   I was so depressed, nothing inside, but my friends gave me hope, and i decided to try,  
I want to do it right. See, and that's my problem right there. Because in my desire to do life right I become terrified of making mistakes And turn to what the world (the general consensus) says.  
This is my life And it will be full of enjoyment So first things first You've lost employment   You said I needed you And would be there for me But I got over 2 decades
No need for sadness for the deceased  They lay in peace  They are only sleeping  No need for weeping  Just smile Your heart is strong, it could run a mile. 
How well is my destiny written down That times are exact Situations are perfectly placed with the ideal obstacles That made the encounter with him magical  
I’m having thoughts, of bitterness and hate I don’t know why! Why won’t they go away? I’m hearing voices of death all around me
I've listen to you for far too long and it's time I turn back to the one who has never turn his back on me So you can shut me out put me down even hurt me  take away my hopes and dreams
Hope   mommy im hungry  and she replied sweetie i don't have any money mommy i need this outfit  and she replied sweetie i don't have it
As several people presented their personal projects At least five people said they were “religious” And this word was used to describe their Christian faith Why not just say “I‘m a Christian” “I’m a believer”
Ok I’m trapped in this world Matter fact, I’m trapped in my mind
i'm nowhere near theAlpha and Omega, whohas made all to come.
You can find me where the dust sparkles in the window from the sun's rays You can find me- there   I'll be hiding beside the curtain blending into the wall
I am no one important Just a person on the street You pass me on the way to work Or school, or a friend activity   I am no one important Or so it would seem
For what you do not know could be for better or for worse. To say this one or that one or what about none? For what we see hindsight seems like 20/20 But in the midst of the rising
To be or not to be...What is it meant to be in the land of the free?Whilst many grieve in pain and agony,Searching for joy, but constantly struck with misery,Told you can be, whatever you set your mind to be,
She is...More precious than the jewels that surround her King, the Queen is flawless her love is deeper than the bluest ocean the greenest forest...
  Sometimes all you can do is stand. All you can do is keep on working, pushing towards brighter days.
My 87 grandmother has been through a lot. She’s had five different cancers, Multiple tumors, intestine troubles, and a stroke. She lost all control of her body, time after time. But she never gave up.
And I fall to my knees yet again Say a prayer I have no faith in Full of hope but know it's hopeless I'm just a bunch of broken pieces
Tonight Dear father, I put aside my greed. To pray for those who really are in need. For the children crying, beaten black and blue. I hope they get the chance, to live and fulfill their youth.
Sometimes its hard to let go
I want my faith to be like a tree, Standing straight and tall and strong, Always growing. I want my faith to be like a fire,
Lighting  struck and thunder crashed And the wind howled at the sight. The rain pounded the earth,
Rusted chains cling to their hearts,  Darkness consumes them -- Children of Darkness?  Or are they Children born in Darkness?--   They cannot hear faith told,  For their ears are bound. 
What is my college education for 
Unspoken words are grotesque                                                                                  
Religion is more powerful than your government’s atomic bombs.   Mamas and papas drag their kids behind them down the rows of pews worn by years of futile prayers.  
They say the best writers write what they know, But lately I’ve been losing my mental going off my rocker all existential. I’ve been going off on points of tangency trying to crack the code that’s right in front of me.  
The heart is a lonely hunter
Who knew crossing a line could make such a change?
What is there to be said When all the pictures have been painted, when wordsmiths more skilled have woven better phrases Who am I, who am I?Sometimes overcome by Christ's curious effect upon the soul;
From today's family, mine is different  And I think that is quite funny  So many families lack unity  But my family stands strong with faith  and we find comfort in our Father   
I believe everything happens for a reason And you never know what that reason is Until it hits you unexpectedly
My father who has given me eternal life. My Lord who always finds in his heart to forgive. My God who is there for me, Eventhough, I am constantly not there for him.  
Oh how I wish I could change the past.  the mistakes I've made Are too numerous to count.  I have failed too many times.  I have disappointed others, And I have disappointed myself.   
I am silent I am mysterious Sometimes you can't even find me, but when you do I scare you! You try to get rid of me and sometimes I fade away But what's gone at this time can always come another day
The depth of his words were as thin as a grain of sand,
It's time to let go and let God, literally you're blind without faith cause it's the source in which you see, it leads your intuition and utilizes ambition, faith creates an image so we can imitate Jesus,
****I am not bashing other religions but rather providing my reasoning behind choosing the Christian faith.  I respect all religions and faiths and believe that everyone should believe in something. This is why I believe in Jesus Christ.
They say everyone has a testimony, and a story that will break your heart. My little sister had cancer. Her hair would fall out and she was weak, so fragile that it was hard for her to walk. I couldn't understand at first why God had chosen her.
  Your touch. Your smile. Your voice. The beauty you allowed me to see. Moments of laughter and words of wisdom ; I will always cherish.
"Why must love feel like a heart attack"?Some may sayCausing our hearts to sputter one final beatThump, thump, shhDifferent types of love lause different types
  Dark laughs at the fight
All i want to do is sleep. But I can't count them sheep. Thinking about the Shepard,
I am holding a bladeUp to my wrist In the knife all I see is lies upon liesBut then I see youAnd your little blue eyesYou say put the kinfe down AuntieOr I will crySo I put down the kinfe
Who told us that life would be so hard Our past haunting us, The future looming ahead, We struggle to enjoy and succeed in the present. I have given up the hope for my life to be perfect
Silent Thoughts Thoughts, That’s all they are That’s all I make. Will they ever be any more? Will they ever be any less?
Listen, sister, for this talk unsettles me. Stop here. Because You are not the sum of things you have made. You are not the sum of others' judgements, opinions - no.
I need a job that could change whole life And maybe then will shit start going right I wouldn't have to be worried about my moms Or my sisters and brothers crying about the lights going off The water and the cable
I want to go into business and economyMake some money and change the way people thought of meI'm tired of people thinking I can't do it like I'm just an act of comedy
They said it’d be a change And it wouldn’t be easy; Living a life like this Isn’t a joyride. I didn’t expect it to be But I also thought I was stronger than this.  
Last year held challenges, Some that terrified me, some that didn’t. All were conquerable With the right mindset. I made my plans, I planted my heart Firmly, steadfastly into them.  
The Dream  Starts with college and hard work Thats the opurtunity to make millions  My paths not cut in clear yet but I know I'm on my way Because greatness is a mind set and that's all you
Society seems in a mess Mothers cry, while Fathers stress to be polite is a disgrace as children mock you to your face   drugs and sex aren't hard to find it seems as if the worlds gone blind
i looked for Him in the silver strands braided in my grandmothers hair. i looked for Him in the brown crunchy leaves on the ground in the fall. i looked for Him
God, I just want to know your plan. I want to be able to count the number of setbacks I will have on my fingers. I want to know if my heart will still have to endure more pain. I want to know if I'll get divorced too.
I know that I am not alone I know that I am loved  So ask me what my faith is Ask me how I know   Or tell me that this science thing  Has put me in a hole You will tell me that religion
That moment when we are at our necks
  Watch What I Become             Smile with relish             Together we still are             Mountains tower between us
God teaches us love, Compassion, Grace, Honesty, Patience, God shows us love, That we are all treasures, That we are worth sacrifices, That we are all perfect in His eyes,
A Gift of Faith A cry, a tear, a whisper in ones ear. Can one only imagine the emptiness without the faith that fills inside?
I'm weak in the flesh.Though my spirit is so willing Jesus!Sanctify me, this total depravity.
July 7 1944 My dear beloved child,  I take with me your last image. "Make her be quiet! She's mad! Shut her up!"                   Her little boy stroked her hand.
Eyes closed, mind focused, heart open. Her hand trembles in mine, gently. Hundreds of voices shouting, whispering, mumbling, Cries of help and gratitude to the man above. She sobs, unable to catch a breath,
At the top of the ladder is your goal. Each of the ladder's poles represents Your steps and efforts to get closer to that. And your soul plays a major part in your pace.
Peer pressure is crazy! But only I control me! So you can’t make me see, anything I didn’t already see. You say “Go ‘head, try it! It’s not gone hurt!” But I’ll be the judge of that when you’re six feet in the dirt.
Little girl,
clickclickclickclick goes the key board as i sip my morning tea. Spiling, gushing ,spewng my deepest trauma and heatache. My therapy, your guilty pleasure. The best job, if you ask me, is that of a writer.
Daddy, you are my heart and soul and I the same to you, When I hear "I love you" I say "I love you too". The day my life changed forever, was the day you were diagnosed. I love everyone in my life,
I don't know if
I had a dream in the past before, a woman so perfect who made my heart roar, her voice echoed through each waking moment, I would feel her touch when my body jolted.
Never Forget   You Stained by bloody waters A past haunts your present being I see the pain in your eyes The beauty of humanity   Rests under your soul
Struggling constantly Through this relentless fight This battle won't kill me I will climb past this height   I'm scared of the outcome I fight to overcome it My heart beats like a drum
    Ever since I was young, I was told to behave. 
Hollow Ghost of Red Heart             Ominous with frantic rage             Yet vindictive under the Vail             Luminous as starlight nights
Breathing Just Fine             Held under water             Gazing upon him             We fight for a way out             The sea blue runs black            
I once was A girl caged in lonliness; living nightmare The devil on my back Crawled in my head
Homeless individuals sleep with dreams of what they used to be Now they have moved on leaving the new generation drowning sea to sea No education, no temptation, to get a dream fulfilled
The time has come, my choice is made This life is cruel and humanity has no hope
Dreamer, I am a scatter brained, introverted, unstable dreamer. My hope is rooted in my faith, my faith is in these cereberal illusions that cause denial and confusion.
I want a partner that is so rooted in the bossom of GOD; A partner that is in LOVE with GOD Who places GODs Desire infront of their own fleshly desires...  
The Inhibition of my mind & Body... And I think my heart
A woman who is voluminously thick with all the
"Mommy, can I be skinny like those girls on T.V?" I hear these words and put my head in shame. "Mommy, can we go to McDonalds today?"  I hear this constantly and feel the same.
The slippery, polished, granite beads slip through my fingers. A silent Hail Mary breaking through the quiet pews. The magnamic face of a Man who knows me, crests at the cross roads of the rose.  
Falling for someone is exactly that,
What to say to the ones who feel small,the ones who are hungry,the ones who have no home, whose everyday battles without an end,those who are lost wishing to be found again, for those who suffer,the ones filled with fright,those who pray to liv
I am the strange man. The man that is a boy. The boy that is a man. I play words as a decoy, I refuse to write and wrong with the same hands. So I try to write as well as I can.
Our lives are such a mess
I try to find myself, but I've been lost for forever. It's like I'm going in a circle so you'd think I'd know better. I'm somewhat lost in a trance,  I can't find myself. Took 34 pills disregarding my own health.
The light flashes. Blinks, constantly, in the dark room.
Darkness fell with innocence in tow The serene sky marred by gunshot smoke Signed by Death’s fiery signature And crossed with wails that frayed stable ground.
  Although life isn’t perfect Battles 
Little Things by Dillon D. Our selfish desires can blind us when they become our god. They make us forget all of our blessings. Be thankful of the little things. A roof over your head,
A society that tells the younger generation YOLO Live for today, dont worry about tomorrow YOLO Live on the Edge YOLO But WE are not called to live for OURSELVES YOLO
What do you do when someone is hurting, And you try your best to help, but nothing is working. When you love your best friend, and you hate to see her crying, But even when you make her smile, you know inside she's dying.
What happens when God himself falls from heaven? When the heavenly grace is stripped?
Since being a young boy in the hood My life has never been good Gunshots at night and standing under streetlights I told my self I shall rise If I put in hard work there should be a prize
Since being a young boy in the hood My life has never been good Gunshots at night and standing under streets lights I told my self I shall rise If i put in hard work there should be a prize
When all you have left, Is faith What is left, When all faith is lost?
A crickety seasaw with an invisible old man on the other end.  You go up and down, sometimes close to falling, but you hold on, nonetheless.
So as I type what I did last night don't judge me Don't judge me because everyone sin and nobody’s perfect Talking about sin... that's what i committed
I do believe in one God, but sometimes I have my doubts.I do believe in prayer, but it does not have to be said aloud.I do believe in going to Mass, but why particularly on Sundays?
Across from the ocean, I sit on the beach, I'm lost in tranquility, As my soul tries to breathe.   White clouds moving slowly, The breeze calm and still, I'm caught in the moment,
Crying to You was not what I wanted to do For You to see me laying on the ground face down caused sweet shame so I refrained
God has silver hair.
Who He Is, Can't Be Explained He Is Called Many Names He Has Given Many The Strength They Need To Proceed,
Adversity what does that word even mean Does anyone know? I think the last man to feel it
Denying your presence is known todayYour blood and body keeping us goingSeems people are praising every SundayAlthough looks like thoughts haven't been flowing
The thoughts I have here,Will never be found anywhere else.The feelings I have here,I'll never feel anywhere else.The love I have here,I'll never have anywhere else.
Oh Hollywood, oh Hollywood How I long for thee If I could go to film school for free, A happy flimmaker I would be   But I have no money So I must save In order to pave
  Our hands will never break apart
Here i am
Where am I going?  To the unknown, far but close. Scary yet wonderful. Where am I going?  Who knows? Do you? At times I may think to know where. At other times I may feel lost.
Searching for something to hold on to, can't find nothing to grasp
People give it their all, and its sad when its not enough
                                                                                                                                                                                I always wonder if God listens,
You sing him hymns, hoping he'd see you through. You tell me his words cannot be fathomed. But what if they were never true?
Where is Waldo?Well he's somewhere I knowPlaying some kind of gameMaybe its Tic-Tac-Toe?Where is your wallet?Well I'm not sure butI'm sure that if you really lookedYou saw itWhere is God?
Welcome to the Mourners' Bench Where I can not say no A place for all the burdened minds
In Jesus, there is joy.
Depression isn’t a sickness you can cure with medication.
What do you do when there are no words to expressall the thoughts you've barely fathomed into a conscious
You can damn my God, You can wish me to Hell, But what's it to you? Just a barren prision cell? I'd take that instead, I swear I would, Is there a nail in your hand? Are you mounted on wood?
Eternity... Eternity, means forever forever greatful will I be greatful I am for this life given this life given is one that has been borrowed borrowed from your radient golden rays of sunshine  
You can feel your heart explode All the pain Running through your vains How could love hurt so much? How could your life change with just one touch? All the lies you told Made me so cold
Dreams are not what they used to be
I'm sitting and I'm waiting  I'm just waiting  and there are people around me  whispering amongst themselves  as if everything is okay.    I cannot figure out  why they are here 
Through my darkest hours, you are there to rescue me.
  From Genesis to Revelation He’s held me at high elevation.   From listening to the Word and going to church I’ve read my Bible and did my research.  
  God is my strength to him I belong. He will never leave me nor forsake me, Therefore I will never be alone.   He will always be there, just call on his name
blurred we were beautiful each and every one fading fast as ephemeral flowers
Confusion.   Confusion between my legs      that goes against what God says Feeling wrong but feels so right, It sometimes disturbs my dreams at night That tingling sensation, I feel it in my core
Heavy fog on rainy days
  Twirling beacons glow warm in winter’s night   Bright white souls swiftly growing old   Sunlit sidewalks fill with chalk   Rain, feather dust and flies   A sloping sleeping heat
In the silent waves she saw herself, Lost and confused, she cried for help. Through the screams and moans that came tumbling out, The distorted images that filled her with doubt. No longer could she stand alone,
  Tiptoeing past my shame, Where once again, I start to question if I’m worthy To eat that extra slice, To role the dice To tell me if I’d ever pull off “curvy.”   Smiles watch me now;
  We are ever-changing, Constantly running through a cycle, Sometimes in circles like a unicycle. We are the washer and dryers of life, Rolling onto our second load.  
He feels all our pains Which run through the veins Of everyone.
The scarf that rests upon my head In Arabic, "Hijab" May seem to some a fearful threat Mysterious to some.   The names, the teasing. Whispering. The silence of my tongue replies
I Gotta Real Good Feeling That Its Time For Some Healing The Healing Of Your Heart If You’re Really Willing No Time For Games Just Let It All Out
I Really Thought It Was All Over & Time Once Again For My Heart To Take Cover Even Tho My Happiness Seems To Come & Go The Love Always Seems To Linger On
The sun smiled down upon the summer trees That waved back with delighted desire. Yet it shown not where she stood amongst herself, Afraid to touch the face of death.
You have to be willing to try, try again Your mind set should be, "Yes, yes I can!" Do not let fear strike in your heart, Worrying and fear will tear you apart. Don't let the little things get you down,
Dear Mom and Dad, how are things with you? Has everything been alright?  Did everyone sleep tight? Me in a shell, to tell you the truth, I can't complain, it'd make things worse.  Am I under a curse?
Once there was man who loved me and who loved you. Because of this love this he did what the Lord called him to do.
I know I'm young like all of you, but I've been through a lot.
Dear Lord, And then the thought vanishes Like ink words never written on a page. The words that fall like glistening coins from my lips Lack backing in a truer currency.
I remember the first house I lived in. It was white with green shutters and chipped paint. The door was an off purple that, from a distance, appeared to be forest green, but, up close, was actually blue.
I am a whirlwind I cannot choose the place to go
All day long, I think about your class,
Belladonna     A beauty that illuminates such carnation hue   You defiled me with your sinful pleasure  
We're often exposed to music  We're often exposed to violence What you don't really hear of is becoming greater than yourself. You can achieve greatness, you can achieve more.
ACCEPTANCE© Glenn Johnson   Today longing burst into the blooming of acceptance.                                For how many eons . . . into how many worlds 
Faith: one motive, a solitary pebble, minuscule in size, enormous in spirit, burning the demon’s evil plot; where disloyalty to self’s morals crumbles like the Twin Towers, the disrupted chariot as horses
I allowed them to leave their misery between my vertebrates, attach their lust on the wailing wall of my body Hide their redemption between my hips
The clang of a single coin in an empty tin Alerts the man to sadly look down.   He fishes out the nickel Holding it up to the light Dreaming of what it must feel like
The moon is my Goddess, for she creates the waves, and the songs that lull me to sleep. The Goddess is my moon, the Goddess is my earth, the Goddess grants me her boon, the Goddess guides me to her hearth,
You see a homeless man Standing on the corner of the road. You see vehicles Passing by him. You see women and children Scurrying to the opposite side of him. You see the world

When I was young I had a special friend And right from the start I knew he'd be there thill the end.   We didn't need to talk He knew my every thought Sometimes I ignored him,
The world turns dark, the lights go out And in my mind there is not a single doubt They  can’t see what I am going through They can’t see how much I need You The match in my heart is slowing burning out
For it is not I that speaks of love, It is not I that vocalizes the words in a praise or hums to a song. The creation of this earth was not by my hands or the living creatures scattered on this planet.

  We are like one crayon, in a box full of crayons. There are bright ones and dark ones, sharp ones and dull ones.   Sometimes we get lost and unused. We feel dark and dull and without hope.
Our faith is our sail Intuition the wind The life we've built for ourselves is the hull beneath our feet The world may get rough at times The seas shaky and the winds turbulent
The ground beneath my feet Tremors with Soul and rational Choking forth a dissonant harmony
A seed is cast into the wind, And the process of a destined love begins. Though it may encounter much vexation, And endure both trial and tribulation, A lucky few in the faithful spot land,
I once met love at the front door! And, when I glaced it's direction Love, beautifully, smiled back at me. That was love. My first sight! I became instantly drawn to love.
       I'm lost in these rivers of peace, Hope swelling and gushing through every pore within me, Love dragging me down in the currents. When His grace oh the unfailing grace sends me drifting up to the shore, And who awaits me there?
I wonder when will my light glow brighter than our sun. Am I just a star? already shining bright but oh so far.Moving ever so quickly and changing ever so slowly
I'm subject to my opinions      my views      my decisions But within the chipped paint walls I'm not. Within these rooms majority rules.

The dark one tells me I deserve this pain.I desire punishment, for it is just.
A heart pure and strong A mind so quick and clever A voice that can reach out A world to be made better
My faith has been tested My love has been stretched I've learned so much But am blind to the rest My mind has been trained My heart has been weighed I've lost so much But my hope has remained
I used to believe in 11:11 wishes,  Used to dream of midnight kisses,  I believed in these things and much more,  But all that was in a time long, long, before,  Before the boy ripped at my chest, 
All the radiation, chemo, and every pill,  Through your smile shined such strong will.  It gets harder to breathe every breath of air. You skin goes pale, and slowly starting to lose your hair.
  How come we can't belive nor will we receive the golden medal of grace? Is it because we can't pin point a gift or talent, or we've ran astray? Or maybe it's because we can't
I knew that I loved God and I thought this was enough I lead retreat, I said my prayers I clung to him when times got tough so now you say I'm wrong in believing what I do
I dream of magic and dragons and fairy tales, where there are women in vintage long dresses and men in chainmails. The fairies are dancing in the moonlight, and pixies are hiding just out of your sight.
DARKNESS fills my sould. HATRED fills my thoughts. The LIGHT is too far. I will NEVER see it again. Fuzzy...different...this is quite serene. I now realize what those words mean. HOPE is written out. LOVE is within this text. I FEEL it.

  No Room
This fog gives me a sweet sense of what is to come, While the sun is hiding, ready to take its course. I am ready, for my story has just begun.
 I want to sleep...I really do. He's calling just beyond the avenue. Tight curb, love in the low life suburbs. Patiently waiting for me.Sich schminken to hide a brutally gentle tide.
I am not who you say I am. I am who, I am, says I am. You say you know me, but in reality you don’t even know yourself. So wrapped up in that bottle, you forgot to ask for Jesus help.

It's something that science is yet to fully explain. It's something that humans are yet to fully understand. It's something that we are born with and it lives with us in the world alongside its counterpart. Love is a mystery.

Trapped up in emotions will she ever get out? Living without fear but still facing doubt. So many things in this world she would love to obtain, going  through so many phases but still trying to remain sane.

Creator of Waterfalls   I look up slowly to capture in my vision the full splendor of the Bright and powerful cascade.
With dirty hands and a torn up heart I kneel, waiting for good-bye Instead, I see tears in Your eyes, And welcoming, outstretched arms. I hear Your cries, "Come back to me my child, "My Beloved!"

My head is spinning, round and round. My legs lose power, I fall to the ground. My scars are burning, brighter and brighter.  My hope is soaring, higher and higher. In my mind, their voices say. 
Things are changing.  It's become hard to maintain,  the connections we once made  to the people we sent are previous years with. We will always remember the way that we felt.
I look out into the world with one swollen eye. Some days I ask myself why haven't I died? The hurt doesn't stop. I'm not in any shock. What a life. I'm all grow up and I am free from your hands. You are not worthy to call yourself a man.

This is my personal armageddon. My Body grows numb from the constant wreck I've become. Sick and tired of feeling alone. Trapped in a lifeless body with no one to hold. I surrendered to the cold.

The devil sits beside me, undresses from his clothes Says he wants to love me, the only love I've ever known. He kisses with his lips, but doesn't mean it in his eyes The only thing he loves
The stockings hang   As He did A tree will rise in lighted splendor     With dozens of round twinkling eyes   All iris- all colors- they hang   Children and all expecting

"Daddy?" "Yes, Sweetheart" "I love you" I write for the one who gave me brown hair and eyes, For the one who sang me my favorite lullabies. The swing set he built, my rocking horse by hand,

As I sit here thinking about the present And the life that was destined, for my future I can't help but think back when....God first called my name I've tried walking that narrow path and it was too much for my lane
God had a plan. From the foundation From the beginning When in his palms He formed a man. And that man Would stand in his image, Every part of him Perfectly fitted.
Here I stand with a poster board in hand. I look at you as you try to avoid me. In your A/C, as you turn the radio up. I'm struggling. I am dying on my knees, when I want to stand on my feet.
I’m walking down, corner to corner and I can’t see Searching around and I don’t know where to be. I see a light and I follow it. I see a light and I follow it. I hear talks and laughter and love.
Initial diagnosis, devastating and extreme, The cancer festering inside Determined to destroy his dream.

The bedroom is silent and still as shadows tucked away in a blanket, was a small boy his blonde hair painted to the tousled sheets. The only movement that stirred the room was his breath lifting his chest;
I’m in the dark Loneliness trickling over me like dripping pipes Hope has ran away So far away that I cannot breath When I reach out I expect to find nothing but the damp air But instead I feel a hand
There's nothing much I want to say, but I'll pour my heart out to you anyway. All I can think is no more talking. Only out of faith, we gotta keep walking. Never spoke a word to you before now,
She is Precious; That girl who has so much inside her is here She is the one that hides beneath an unseen frame Lord, Lord, you know There is a battle in the heart of that joy It’s almost there, just you wait
Within the embrace of your arms, you lay your head down, You cry out, yet there’s no sound, You search for hope, which you know can only be found from looking up, Yet your eyes cannot leave the ground,
Please excuse my hard exterior For I see you have to chisel slow In order to force through me To form the creation in your mind That you see
Thought I could make it without you Thought I would be ok Going at it alone Started my journey out into the world But things got hard With no friends or family by my side I broke down
My never ending love To stand by the challenges of your life The attachment I give to you The strength I see in you
'dip shits love God'
I come from love and holy words I've memorized many lines I am welcomed by the sound of singing The songs I've grown-up to know
(The video is slightly different that what is written)
I could not imagine life without you; Though I never see you, I know your still there. In my heart I can feel you, My soul aches for your loving care.
Downcast was I, down to my soul for I had failed yet another goal. Cast in front of me, my shadow My eyes do comply Yet they disagree on the reason why. One eye sees dark; the other, the light
We have faith in are heart As the sweet sound it is Just like the stars Please tell me why we cant have faith.? As the world end Just make a little mistake Take upon your love
I've yet mine eyes to see the day That Grace doth fail renew This hollow cup; my truths laid bare, Thine merices, Lord, they see me through.
She wraps her tiny hand around my thumb as tears run down my face. Her green eyes ask so many questions that I just can't answer. Not now.
When I read, their tearful words appear to echo in my mind. When I listen softly, Their desperation clings to my soul. When I ponder, Their fate may rest with my words.
~faith when your friends have walked away and your parents said you can’t stay and your problems don’t seem to fade and your bills are due today and you forget to pray and things don’t go your way
I see you running towards that ball in the fields. I hear your laugh when you fall in that pile of leaves. I think of that day when you won’t need me to fight your battles.
However, I was touch by an angel of strength, I wandered through my emanate life as though My praiseful mother, who placed me above her shoulder, Never taught me more I am her only, there is no other.
(An Ode to my Hijab)
There is a girl. She has the whole world a head of her, watching her every move. Standing alone in front of everyone, Pounding her chest she rips her very own heart out.
This world gives me a feeling of starkness So many places growing with darkness Setting that place on fire Cause Lord need for you is dire It's so dark they're becoming blind
I was once lost, Unnoticed in the crowd, Never knew who I was, But now I am found. I was floating through the days Wondering where I would go, My soul was in a haze But you brought me home.
What will be revealed? What will you convey? Will you proclaim I have followed you and your words, Both by speaking and by action? Will you proclaim I have broken your laws, Used you for self-glory?
November's cold night illuminates my chest. Deep breaths include the faint smell of bbq and secondhand smoke.
He holds my heart within his hands Bending, Molding, all to plan Sometimes it hurts, but he always works. The black is now out of my heart, leaving a hole for a new start I feel all empty, sad and alone
Desires I openly nearly never express
Tackle the dreams of a thousand human beings Gaze upon their souls to serve a meaning Failure is not an option while tormented Road blocks are plowed by the strength of senses
The Sun is our future, The Moon is our Past, The Sky is the Love that never seems to last. The Flowers are our smiles, And the trees, our laughs. But, the cry? The cry is our universal question... Why?
Your love for me is everlasting, second chances only you are casting Seeking for love all I got was lust, as time past my heart will rust Despite my past you are still grasping, unto me while I was still dancing
There is nothing that can keep me from believing There is no one that can change my heart I can say that the Lord is my Savior But are my actions following my words? My heart says I love my Heavenly Father
With a quizzical frown, a child asks me Where is Heaven? To which I instinctively shrug. I often times have wondered the same thing myself.
On my hands and knees I pray For this world to see a new, brighter day. Not with the eyes of humans we should see, But with the eyes of how it was meant to be.
We are the people of this world We are the people of America What are rights? Does rights have a color, a ethnic a gender, a race? NO Rights are something that is given but yet earned.
My God isn't her god, Isn't His God, Isn't your God. My God has a different name, a different form, and claim to fame.
The Ocean pulls it’s body back and forth like my lungs that breathe in life. And my heart that drums it’s final beats. I’m sitting on a bulk of sand from the high tide line.
With a new school year, a new start, but friends depart. And we’ve led our whole lives together, but suddenly we’re taking different paths from each other.
Faith; Such a simple word with much deeper meaning. How can we describe a vast concept with this small word? We are not meaningless, faith shows us that. What happens when the logic takes over,
A book of an aunt Who no longer is here Turn the pages Listen Do you hear them cry? Torn and worn down but still prized most This book that is broken It tells a tale of sleeping beauty and her prince
There is something inside of each of our souls- this desire for the things that will destroy us. We crave to behave in ways that leave scars.
Go, little sheep, from this bare and desolate land. Go from this wicked place with its whips and brands. Go, press onward through the cold gates that bar the way Go, leave this dark world
I wrote this a few years back before my confirmation of my faith. Hope you like it!:
Everyday I used to see you smile, When I would see it, it would warm my heart. But now I only feel the remaining cracks of my heart stabbing my chest. I would trust you. Trust you to no end..
Think I should lay down beside her, but no, not behind her. it might get intense if I decide to fold blind her I mean blind fold her. high thoughts announced sober. I'm saying shawty, my heart's colder
never undermine oneself to make a change always have the ability to trust yourself and know that things will get better to have that power to strive to be the absolute best as long as you don't quit, you will never lose
I questioned my intelligence And life’s depth and relevance Mom should’ve remained celibate Or at least used a contraceptive To give me protection Against my own conception It’s got me mentally arrested
Afraid it will come back Up like a shadow Up like his smoke Rolling in with the tide Even when I hide I'm afraid it will find me I'm afraid I'm still to week to fight Because I remember how
Where is your faith? When is it going to be enough? Are you ever going to put your faith into me Or are you going to continue looking into the world For something that you could always look for in me
Explosions of galaxies fill the night air. Prayers of a hundred hands kneel before the sky. And I'm weary, Lord. I need hope.
A sublime being is watching over me, Calmly offering me peace And in silence giving me relief; Easing the pain, Erasing all fears, Forgoing all doubts And everything that’s drear.
