F/American Sometimes the words get in the way / So I re-read, I revise, I edit... / and I believe it helps / © Renae Arias
I am stronger than you I am far more fierce Not because of myself Because of my faith. I look into your eyes Like David looked at Goliath. Standing solidly on my two feet I say without quivering, " You come to me with weapons and words full of fear, but I stand before you with the name of Jehovah the almighty God." You cannot stand.

I come to you
Empathy is my disease. It's not something I can control It's been built in me. The guilt I feel, the urgency to help to heal, to make it all okay.... as I get hurt along the way.

My disease
Staring at the table, zoning out and drifting away to somewhere distant. It seems to be happening to me a lot lately. Focus escapes through my thoughts, they’re too overwhelming to conquer. Spinning now, out of control I cannot return to what was once coined "normalcy", It's far gone now. Pitch black and heartless is not something I bow to. Bubbling hatred has never existed in me before now. How do I continue forward when time seems to be rushing behind? Heading back to an ancient time I've never experienced. The grandiose horn who speaks larger than life is actually the smallest. The loud arrogance of one with no power. One stone is all it takes to crush the entire statue. It crumbles to dust as if it never existed.

I don't know what to call this.
Love doesn't happen like this Love doesn't just happen with a kiss What is love without understanding? What is life without a happy ending? One thing I know for certain One thing I know for sure honesty should never be punished and truth shouldn't lock the door Secrets & lies won't be forgotten Now everyone's in an uproar It's a game of what can be hidden and only one side is keeping score. What you think is power is not forgiven Cowards won't win the war & we don't care anymore Don't try to tell me what love is Love doesn't just happen like this with a kiss What is love without understanding? What is life without a happy ending?

What is love?
Salty, warm saline full of love Strength unseen they drop softly, Tho sometimes hard A dollar could never measure the depths I've gone to to make it better Lengths, widths and heights conquered, So many empty moments, dark lonely nights weathered No the value of my tears Cannot be measured With money Material Or other worldly matter They are priceless kept in skin bottles golden, hidden in spaces only felt with the heart Only wiped away by the hand of God

The Value of My Tears
Don't worry, you are breathing still You can still feel The second hand slides as the hours fly by           ........... You can still taste that last piece of cake you stole from the wrong man You cannot give it back, it's too late You found your fate Know it's the end & Wait.

The End
Together as one strength soars like an eagle High above clouds wings outstretched Unworried, unscathed Untouchable Unified

Together
If you weren't so in love with the fantasy maybe then you could see reality

Fantasy
*It's not hard to see once you stop staring Noticing every flaw Imperfect is easy We lose hope looking at eachother don't even wonder about his brilliance anymore but it's there anyway just waiting to be discovered Nobody compares nothing is as amazing No stars shine brighter because his love is healing Untouched Untouchable Brilliance Unmatched Unmatchable resilience His patience is incredible And there's nothing Like his forgiveness Unmatched Untouchable brilliance All we can do is imitate We aren't even carbon copies We fail and fail again He snaps his fingers and bam! His decisions stand without failing Look at gravity Look at the impossibility Incomprehensible designs Perfect in everyway We try but we can't compete Untouched Untouchable Brilliance Unmatched Unmatchable resilience His patience is incredible And there's nothing Like his forgiveness Unmatched Untouchable brilliance*

Unmatched
I need to tell the truth Let me be candid Out here in a world full of bandits Diluted infractions Yet I need action Drowning in "look at me pollution" love's an illusion On a lonely screen I find unsolicited advice How nice... Is this my new therapy? I've lost my mind Without meaning how can I believe? Where's the truth What's the truth Where's the love What's the proof? You said I matter That's a lie Watch me shatter inside Over and over I die life goes by Like a racecar I'm tired, scarred, never understanding why What'd you say? Say what you mean Do what you say There's no in-between If all I have is you How the hell am I Supposed to make it through I don't have it in me to keep on giving Please can anyone make this life worth living
