10 days was all it took
To plan the way I'd go
One last kiss to those I love,
Made sure they didn't know
I laughed, I smiled, I cooked, I cleaned
While my soul was softly weeping
Cause even in those memories made
All joyful moments were fleeting.
And on the day where time was up
I finished at my workplace
I said goodbye, I kissed my sis
And smiled down at her face
I got in my car and turned it on
with knowledge I wouldn't return
And as a tear slid down my face
My stomach began to churn.

Hold on dear girl hold on
For this too, shall pass
The morning soon will come
And night time will not last.
This darkness with no light
Is simply a shift in wind
And if you just hold on
You'll see the darkness end
This pit you feel you're in
So dark and so deep
Can be changed into a safe place
A place for you to weep
There isnt a NEED for strength
You don't HAVE TO fake the smile
Some days are just exhausting
Some walks just feel like miles.
Hold on, my dear hold on
Take refuge in the truth
In a book that holds the answers
In a verse that helps to soothe
With each day that you feel weary
In each time that you lose hope
Know that you are not alone
There is 'HE'to help you cope
You have so much left to offer
You have so much still to add
So don't give in to darkness
Dont let yourself stay sad
He has a greater plan
A plan to bring him glory
A plan that you're a part of
A chance to share your story
So hold on sweet girl hold on
Stay to see his plan
Know that you are loved
Know with 'HIM' you CAN!

I'm tired, oh Lord, so tired
This prayer is nothing new
This prayer is a broken record
And no surprise to you
My eyes are heavy Lord
They are weighted with my soul
My vision is still blurry
It's begun to take a toal
My breath is labored Lord
Exhaustion has a sting
Its hard to cling to hope
Of what tomorrow will bring
My arms are tired Lord
I have bruises from my fight
This enemy I cannot see
Has a grip on me so tight
My legs are weak Lord
They scream at me to stop
They warn me they are shaking
I feel my body drop
My mind is blurred Lord
So little now seems clear
Logic still evades me
And all I feel is fear
My lips are trembling Lord
They wont let out my pain
My screaming has no voice
My attempts are made in vain
My heart is breaking Lord
Each day I feel it crack
Im reminded of my failures
And all the strength I lack
My soul is weary Lord
So again I'll turn to You
And pray that in your arms
I'll feel my strength renew

Somewhere between
Our stolen glimpses,
Our avoided phone calls,
Our empty inboxes,
Our overflowing diaries,
Our false excuses,
Our truthful lies,
Our passionless conversations,
Our emotional poems,
Our unkept promises,
Our treasured secrets,
Somewhere between us,
We lost each other,
And found ourselves.

Draw it they said, let it all out.
So I gave that a go and I drew what I felt.
But they didn't see.
Sing it they said, make it a song.
So I sang them a tune to describe what was wrong.
But they didn't hear.
Say it they said, make it a play.
but when I tried that they just looked away.
They weren't watching.
Write it they said, share us your story.
So I wrote them a novel that didn't have glory.
But they didn't read it.
Why are you sad? Are you in pain?
They ask me again as I struggle in vain.
Am I really here?

Would he be kind?
Would he be sweet?
Would he make me feel special?
Cause that would be neat.
Would he take me out dancing?
Would he kiss me goodnight?
Would he laugh with my family?
That would be a real sight.
Is there really that someone?
Does each soul have a mate?
Could you find your true love,
In a world with such hate?
How would you know?
How could you be sure?
That the person you love,
loves you even more.
They say it is worth it,
all the pain you may feel.
but how can you tell?
If this feeling is real?
There's this fear that lingers,
it won't go away.
of pain and chains,
and tears every day.
Do I want to risk it?
Could I be that strong?
could I live with the agony,
if it went really wrong?
I know it is out there.
that I do see.
but sometimes I wonder
if it's out there for me.
Love I have seen,
love I have felt
but love that is
True
I know nothing about.
Would he help guide me?
Shield me from my fears?
Help me climb my mountains?
Wipe away all my tears?

Darkness:
Darkness was my pain
My rod, my staff, my cane
For darkness I became
Not for evil, power, or gain
Nor for lust of mighty reign
But because I held such disdain
For the things to which I am chained
From the sky it fell like rain
A dark and growing stain
Chilling my shredded veins
The source of all my shame

What is a word for this feeling?
For this sinking feeling.
This feeling of dissatisfaction,
That chokes my breath.
Can you tell me a word for this feeling?
For this painful feeling.
This feeling of powerlessness,
In this great wide world.
Is there such a word for this feeling?
For this dizzy feeling.
This feeling of constant spinning,
Where my feet never touch solid ground.
I need a word for this feeling!
For this heavy feeling.
This feeling of hopeless choices,
I can’t make up my mind.
There has to be a word for this feeling!
For this frozen feeling.
This feeling of time flying by,
When my life is numb from the cold.
Will you find me a word for this feeling?
For this defeated feeling.
This feeling of constant failure,
Because I’m too weak to stand.
I shall pursue a word for this feeling.
For this old feeling.
This feeling of quickly ageing,
And not completing a single thing.
I hope I find a word for this feeling.
For this persistent feeling.
This feeling that never leaves me,
Keeping me from sleep.
What is a word for this feeling?

*It scares me
All of it
The thought, the realization
That I cannot control anything
It is killing me, fear
It’s destroying me from the inside out
I lose control over my emotions
And the fear sets in
I lose control over pain
And the fear sets in
I lose control of work
And fear sets in
It deprives me of sleep
And puts me off food
Sometimes it is hard to breathe
Everything puts me close to tears
Because of fear
Not fear of death
I do not fear that
But fear of no control
The losses I will one day have to face
I know they must come eventually
Fear of the pain I will undoubtedly feel each day
Fear of how I will react
Who I will hurt
Where it will take me in life
I know I must trust
And they say not to feel
But I cannot bring myself to do it
It has begun to consume me
I feel as though I am letting Him down
Because I fear
Because I am human
I cannot shake it
And it has begun to choke me
It weighs me down like a heavy blanket
And blocks all light
I cannot see what I can do
I cannot scream because of its hold on me
How do I get through this
Do all others feel this way
Why when I feel this, do I feel so alone
Is He not meant to be there
Am I not meant to feel Him
Why do I feel like this
Why can I not feel this once more
Control.*

Forever tormented
Never left alone
How can I escape this pain?
And begin to make my own
Sudden attacks of panic
Fruitless attempts to escape
Nothing can stop this battle
This war that leads my fate
Why am I not stronger?
Where is the strength he gave?
Alone in this painful hour
Pointless to be saved
Drifting even farther
Losing all I love
Losing that connection
That I had with Him above
Sinking slowly deeper
Darkness fills my mind
Lightless figures follow
Devouring what they find
I grasp at times of Joy
Attempt to keep it near
But it slips away so quickly
And I’m filled again with fear
When will I be free of it?
When will this darkness leaves?
I’m so tired of this pain
That can change what I believe
Breath does not come easy
Rarely do I sleep
Ghosts that always haunt me
Until I start to weep
Tears that never end
Screams that have no sound
All hidden deep inside me
Fighting to be found
I've lost all motivation
I do not care to eat
My body’s weak and weary
And my words are never neat
But somehow I will make it
Somehow I will survive
Cause though it doesn't seem it
I control my life.
