The mud is thick Cold Engulfing and empty I’ve lived in the pit Suffocated conviction Screaming inside Smiles plastered Eyes gleaming Tears rolling down my Nightdress Trudging. Running. Day by night by day. Queen of the pm to am. Yearning creative freedom, I’ll drown it all again.

The Nocturnal descent
The loops. Intrusion. They permeate. Confusion. All the lies, they arise. I'm advised to realize the illusion. I see them for exactly what they are. Concretely Deceit Disbarred from my mental radar.   you thought you had me? ha! for a while, sure. Now I'm reassured. Yes it's true, you romanced me. Entranced me - for a time. But He has washed away your grime from my mind. you should walk along, forget me. I march with a different heartbeat. you don't fascinate me at all. I absolve myself of everything you stand for you know what's in store. This is war.

This is War
Up… Up… UP. Down… down… down… My mind is a storm. Chaos. An ocean of thoughts. Ideas. Aspirations. Confusion. Despair. Isolation. How long must I suffer? alone Surrounded yet alone. But then I’m not. Up, up, up I float. I walk on clouds. Mountain tops. I cling to this feeling. How long will it last? I, naively, hope forever. I float in peaceful rivers. I lift my eyes to the Heavens, and burst with thankfulness. I’m okay I’m not alone. I am at peace and enveloped by everlasting love. Though I crash, abruptly. I fall and fall and fall. I crack. But I heal. I endure, keep trudging. The confusion and lies of Satan don’t pin me down. Not anymore. You are with me, forever. You wait for me. Love me. Hold me. Walk beside me. I am a warrior. Survivor. Stronger than ever. I can’t do it alone. This life, this rollercoaster of a mind. I can’t trust myself, I put myself in Your Hands. I trust You. I cling to you, with all that I am. For You are good, and You provide. 
 I repent. I am renewed. Peace ever flowing, Love everlasting. My Love. My Father. My Savior. Thank You. I am not a disappointment, or crazy, or demon possessed. Your Holy Spirit remains. You love through me. You were intentional in my creation. I am Yours. Forever and always. Amen.

The Mountains and the Valleys
I spend. I drink. I rationalize. I think. No filter. I speak. Hypocrite. I leak. Overdrive. Can’t stop. Socialize. I shop.    Mentality. No breaks. Try to heal. I ache. Pray. For sanity. Vanish. Vanity. Love. Conditions.         Strive. Submission. All is fine. Squander. Why? I wonder. Stand up. I pledge.         Not worth the fight. Allege.         Drained. Mentally. Stained. Fundamentally. Saved. Eternal. Grateful. External. Unchanging. All praise. Loved. Unfazed.

My kind of crazy
Tired... But I'm not. I have too much on my mind. Always. I go, and go, and go Distraught. My brain a maze. A maze. I'm amazed. I go through the motions. Commotion. I live in the moment. You notice? Broken. I malfunction. Dysfunction. What is wrong with me? Just want to be free. It's agony. I cry. July. Descent. I resent. Myself. Repent. All I want is to make You proud am I allowed? I think I do... Maybe. Am I just a cry baby? You claim "It's okay, I've got you. I hold you. I'll take your burdens." I struggle to discern that You are for me. Guaranteed. I can't get enough. Cause You don't bluff.
