Standing on the edge of despair my life spiraling out of control I call out to the one above who knows me better than I know myself Spiritually down I called to the upmost high Asking the Lord for his grace and mercy Drained I go bout my day my shoulders a lot lighter already feeling burdens being lifted Letting him do his will realizing I couldnt do it by myself When I let go and let God Things in my life started changing for the better Things begin to make since again Doors opened that I thought were closed to me As I praised and gave thanks to the one who made it possible I looked at my life and determined the reason why things are the way they were I had lost my way and my faith had waivered Not doing the things I knew i needed to do with out prayer and work I was allowing the devil to dictate my life with chaos and confusion Leaving destruction in my path As I look back on my life recognizing all the miracles and things that he had his hand in Reconfirming that God can do all things.

God Can Do All Things
Thinking about you in every word Your hair... Your lips... Your smile... and your eyes... Thinking that you are Caring... Thoughtful... Respectful... and wise... I love the way you walk... the way you talk... the way you say my name... There are days that I Miss you... Desire you... Care for you... and love you... I sometimes sit and wonder if you Are thinking of me.....

Thinking of You
My life is in shambles Stress taking over my life the constant drinking trying to drown this feeling hoping with this false courage that can deal Tired of being angry Tired of being sad Tired of crying, tear ducts depleted I can't breathe or sleep Everything is in turmoil Feeling helpless there is no easy fix Exhausted from all this pain, misery and heartache Temper flairing at the most minut things Can't seem to catch a break Everything is falling apart all around me This is more than I can handle My stability is being rocked Rocked to the core

Shambles
The scorching fire heats up your soul The flame the color of red, orange and blue Water its enemy and wood its food source A beautiful thing can be so powerful and destructive at the same time The fire travels through the forest making a path in its wake Burning everything in sight to ashes Making the animals who are fast run for their lives The unfortunate ones burn to a crisp in howling rage When its all over the forest is left to its own devices To pull itself together To start over again in its circle of life As another fire stats in the city Burning its 5 story home in its fiery grave Having no remorse the battle wages on between fire and water Each putting up a good fight to the very end When water conquers all in its victory

Fire
The sky is cloudy then gradually turns black No stars or mmon in the sky In the distance you see A streak of light across the sky Followed by a booming sound The air still with humidity Reminding me when i was little How my mother used to explain to me About how the Greeks Gods were fighting Then God started crying big drops of tears The winds picked up howling like a child in pain with each gust The lights on the tower twinkling in the distance wanting the comfort of my momma's body heat I crept in the bed with her Her soft voice as she reassured me everything Will be okay answering my questions as a mother would to her daughter Sheltering me from this harsh world As I grew up realize that a storm wasn't Just the weather but goes on in life The turmoil, the clash between negative and positive The good and the bad QNA

Then the Storm Came
As the waves lull you to sleep A sudden noise raises you but of your dreams And then you spot a breaching whale that feels you with aspiration The waves lapping at your boat making a rhythm that is music to your ears The saltiness in the air making your lips chapped The wind whipped all around you Making a thundering sounds on your sails The sound of the ocean brings tears to your eyes How could something so peaceful and tranquil be full of music Donning scuba gear you prepare to swim with the fishes But once down there nothing prepares you for what you see The ocean is so blue and then so green at the same time A sight that takes your breath away Time lapse while you're swimming this colorful world Seeing many beautiful creatures in their truest form Then to your left you see what you've never thought you would be able to see Two dolphins and a baby swimming behind a school of fishes You experience what people only dream about complete serenity QNA

On the Ocean
Brow beaten and body bent shoulders tense With a headache in the midst Dragging, you push through the day Your only thought is of a soft bed awaiting your arrival Awaiting the feel of comfort to wrap its self around you The prospect of a soak in a hot bubble bath helps you get through the day You can picture it, salt beads with candles lit all around Melting in the water along with your problems soothing your aching body As your worries disappear with each breathe Your mind travels back to the troubles of the day Thanking God that its all over And you start fresh the next day Happy to be at home in your safe enviroment You slip into your most comfortable pj's And curl yourself up with a good book to wind down The pressures of the day tucked in for the night QNA

A Long Day At Work
I see many things I see the good and the bad The hard times and the wonderful times As I leaf through the newspaper I see a world of chaos The war overseas is destroying our lives I see people dying, lying, cheating and stealing In our country the very place we call home Satan is in our mist The devil has got his horns on this world And won’t let loose And I’m just sitting here waiting Waiting on the other shoe to drop I look around me and I wonder What this world is becoming to Judgment day is nipping at the back of our heels And were not ready Were to occupied with crime, punishment and greed We don’t even bother to look up and take notice It’s like we have shields on our eyes Blocking that 6th sense we are supposed to have Our instinct is no longer there Foreign to our minds Decapitated from our thoughts QNA

The World Thru My Eyes
The dry heat takes your breath away Leaving you struggling to draw life into your lungs Sweat dripping off your brow The sun beaming hot on your back Miles and miles of sand with nothing else in sight Make your wish of home But even the draught there is an unseen beauty there The peace and quiet tranquility pour over you A motion in the corner of your eye catches your attention You see an iguana born to live on this dry forsaken land Its fast movements scurrying over the sand amuses you There is a cactus with a gorgeous flower bloomed on its prickly skin You are but oh so beautiful The snake slithering leaving amazing marks behind in its haste in the sand Then a torrent wind brings a sense of being over you cooling you off for just brief moment But when the sunsets the nights are cool Sitting around the fire letting your thoughts drift over the wonders of the world QNA

Desert
Undiscovered Unconquered and untampered with Pure as the snow on the highest caps No worries no drama no situation no problems that she can call her own Ducking and dodging the vultures that can smell her innocence Wanting to be the first to claim She moves on knowing her worth and will not settle for less They yell after her with no respect but she does not mind she don't have the time or patience for such vulgarity Now 18 with her virtue safe and sound She has things to do life to conquer Out on her own a sheltered child she face the big world with dreams and ambition Not knowing about the wolves in sheep clothing that she will meet along the way She meet a man who befriended her made her feel safe in this crazy world Took her in, in a city where she knew no one Took care of her bought her everything she ever needed or wanted Her whole life was this man her savior in her eyes, the love of her life She made a decision to giver her one true gift to him and that was her virginity The day of the gift giving she set everything up so it would be special Told him that she had a surprise for him but what she didn't know he had a surprise waiting for her It started off as planned but then his whole demeanor altered to a man she didn't know He got rough with her Hitting and chocking her Before she knew it 3 men appeared before her like they were on stand by A night she would always remember they ravashed and spoiled her used her like a wet rag A night of pain and humiliation With film to capture this horrible moment The man she loved and believed in turned out to  be a snake/a monster He started controlling her every move said she had to pay him back for everything he ever did for her He tricked her out to hundreds of men Threatened to **** her if she ever left With no hope for a better life She turned to drugs to dull the pain and anguish Now an abused prositute crack ***** Abused in every form she thinks the only way out is in the form of death After 4 years of heartache and misery she finally had enough She made the decision to give the last special gift, her life The day of the gift giving she set everything up so it would be special She wrote her last words and went to sleep He found her the next morning in the tub surrounded by burnt down candles Od'd on her drug of choice with both wrist slit She wanted to be sure He read her final goodbyes With her life in his hands the monster spiraled out of controlled it haunted him til he couldnt take it no more and ended his torment in a cloud of gunsmoke QNA
