The visuals in my head
Are too messy
Seeing it on paper,
Makes sense
I don't trust my heart
Not until it splatters its colors
All over my paper
Because until I put it on paper
I will hide it behind boxes
Forget me nots
Forevers
So I write

GIRL,
Your skin sings tributes to your ancestors
Those that even through noose
Fought for their freedom
Each vein and stretchmark
A tribute to the stripes of each whip
Your smile sings a sweet song
Of him who on the cross ended all struggle
Him who through lovingkindness, draws you in.
Girl, if only you knew, how more than enough you truly are!
Girl
You matter.
Because by the stripes of him that healed
You were made whole
Made anew.
And thus the debate ended,
you matter.
Girl.
Don't succumb to what society asks of you
Be it thick or slim
light as day nor
Dark as night
In Christ you are enough
Girl,
you are icecream on a sunny day
You are tender and brave
Redeemed and free
You are a mother of nations
You are God's beloved
Girl, you are everything.

I remember a time
I WAS the one being ******
I WAS the one who THREW the stones
I WAS even the Stones that were thrown
I WAS my own Judge, Jury and criminal
So I SKIPPED MY BAIL
RUN into his arms
SEARCHING FOR A PLACE TO CALL my Home
IMAGINE my surprise
WHEN In HIM I am no longer condemned
In HIS sacrificial love I have been bound
A 21ST CENTURY Saul to Paul
Through Christ's blood I am transformed
Reborn, ReWORKED by HIS WORKS
My story a new testament
And to this world I stand OUT
BUT In his arms I am the perfect FIT
In HIS arms I am HOME

Round
And round
This cycle is an abyss
Falling
And falling
Pick me up
Make me smile
But I know better
Running
And running
From freedom
To captivity
Then back again
Chasing
Always chasing
A dream. A fantasy.
A happy ending for me and you.

Put the pieces together
Glue them up just right
Stitches and bandaids
I can mend your broken heart
I won't cut myself on your jagged edges
I won't bleed out on your wounds
I won't run from your issues
I will fix your broken smile
I won't feed you empty truths
Won't tell you I'm not like the rest
Even though that is true
I won't tell you this won't hurt
Sometimes it will
After all
Chunks of your space have to fall
For you to see my shooting stars

He has big dreams
big dreamy eyes
big dreamy lies
He has gold mines
He has issues
battles he is yet to overcome
steaming piles of baggage
He has dark sides
He has the gun
the bullet to start the war
the foolish heart from my sleeve
He has blurred lines
He has the buttons
pushes them with no secomd thought
takes it all and leaves me sore
He has many times
He has no control
it's all madness
complicated madness
He has it all
Thankfully, I have ME

I wasn't looking when you came around
Fingers crossed would you stay?
Letting life take its course
Would our paths cross again?
Only exposed to wasted time
Oh dear would you waste mine?
Very slow our pace
Good things come from the wait
The challenge left me breathless
Could I make you mine?
Rarely one to stick around
This time wasn't the same
Even through your storm
A little rain wouldn't ruin our parade
Over the hills and across the puddles
Was I in too deep?
But slow and steady you won my race
What more could I do?
Every single day bringing me bliss
What more could I ask for
Even the pain worth my while
Oh boy was I trapped

Tricky little thing
Oh but not too little
For that wouldn't be enough
And yet not too much
Lest we end up with more than enough
Such a thin line
So I find myself tiptoeing
And still,
Ending up on the wrong side
Too little when I try
Too much when I don't
I try too little
I trip too much
Don't pray quite as I'd like
Yet trust too much
Never quite in between
It's like enough cast me away
Decided to have nought to do with me
For enough I just don't do

Substance of things unseen
Of children's dreams
Those believed for
Secretly yearned for
That of my beating heart
The hand that wipes these tears
Stills my ranting fears
Locks the monsters back in their closet
Rocks me back to sleep
That of my lonely whisper
The voice of lovers missed
The dancer with broken bones
The caged bird that still sings
The broken girl that still dreams
Keeps calm and carries on
Hope,
The lonely voice inside my head.

If soulmates exist
I think it's an awful thing
How one person can own me
And have me know
There is no other
That fit quite like them
That every embrace
Just won't do
Not quite like theirs
And every breath I take
Without them
Is not quite the same
Not as full-filling
I mean think of the horror
Of comparing each moment
To each shared with them
Each laugh not quite as hearty
Each kiss not quite as breathless
Each encounter just not enough
For you could have more with them
I just can't comprehend
How nobody else will do
Not quite enough
So in everyone
I spend the moments
Looking for them
Waiting for them
Wondering if I passed them
Maybe in the street
Or in a bus somewhere
So if soulmates exist
I am afraid
I don't want to meet mine
