You were here
and now we're apart.
You are so far
from my heart.
You are there
away from me.
I should feel happy.
I should feel free
but I wish you were here.
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
He grabbed her face
and took her breath away.
The soft tips of his lips
made her sway.

His dark eyes spoke
in that fast yet slow moment.
She glared at him
with her smile growing.

Nothing else mattered.
It seemed like no one else was there.
She couldn't think of anything
not a burden, not a care.

Her heart fluttered and flip-flopped.
She couldn't believe this.
She sighed with ease
savoring her first kiss.
Crystal Freda May 2018
Every story
she read
shuffled in her mind.
From when
she was little
to even this time.
Her mind
has grown
to greatest heights.
Ideas blown
from bulbs
shining the brightest lights.
Her mind
so creative
and collecting storage.
Her heart
so content
on exploring this knowledge.
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
When tears stream down,
He was there.
He gave her a reason to smile.
A reason to care.

She was carried on His shoulder
and seated on His lap.
Her little body shook
as He made her laugh.

When real life kicked in
with her real dad.
She went to her heavenly father
for this was the real one she had.
Wrote this on Father's day
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
She laid on the sand
with a pen in her hand.
A notebook lay in front of her
and words quickly concur.

Her green eyes look to the sky
and she saw her words fly.
Each syllable and every note
began to sing and began to float.

The sky was full of magic lyrics
as they flew with the spirits
sailing with beatific leaven
and onward to Heaven.
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
Darkness surrounded her.
Her path ceded into a tunnel.
A tunnel of obscurity.
Every step was a struggle.

Her eyes brewed with tears
and her heart ached with fear.
No one could see her tears
and no one cared to hear.

She looked up at the darkness
and cried out to God.
She choked on her tears
and her voice was weary and flawed.

Soon a light commenced
and filled the tunnel with light.
Her path glowed with radiance
and her steps were bright.
Crystal Freda Oct 2017
Below the majestic sky
lies a mountain so high.
Sacred places rise at the peak.
Destiny and adventure for all who seek.
The climb is quite steep
but the sight will make your heart leap.
As you approach the top,
turn around and stop.
There is a boulder in the way
of a secret passage here to this day.
Turn it over and feast your eyes
to the wonder of a glorious surprise.
Behind this giant rock
lies a wonderland that's quite a shock.
Hills, flowers, butterflies, and more.
Your eyes wander and soar.
More adventure is soon to arrive
with each image you feel so alive.
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
He sits at his desk
anxiously tapping his foot.
Unable to concentrate,
and how long time took.

He had a date that night
and that's all he thought about.
He had some exciting thoughts,
but some left in doubt.

He was nervous of what to do
or how to act.
He wanted to be flirty,
but also show tact.

Work was finally over
as the clock hands fell.
He rushed out of the office
hoping his date would go well.
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
She has hope
even when seemed lost.
She wanted to be happy
no matter the cost.

Her thoughts were dark
even in the brightest of times.
She tried to look and feel okay,
but her heart just couldn't shine.

She still has hope
but she will find it in her own way.
She doesn't have to find just anything
to brighten up her day.
Crystal Freda Mar 2019
Scarred and broken
with words left unspoken.

Wishing things were clear,
but sadly we are still here.

Time doesn't seem to heal,
it just seems tougher to feel.

All the moments we had
now hurt so bad.

I just want us to be okay,
but instead everything is gray.

If only I knew what to do.
I know I still do love you.

I just hate what we've become,
it just seems all is done.

Hopefully one day I'll understand,
but for now we have to do what we can.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Behind the walls and cement is me.
I keep myself hidden behind this wall.
The wall is built quietly.
After all these years, it has grown so tall.

This wall is built by hurt of others.
The pain wrestles with broken hearts, broken promises, and being back-stabbed.
It's hard to trust these acts of followers.
I deal with these feelings of feeling robbed.


God, help us, from this spirit of brokenness.
We have searched far and wide for an answer.
God is the only one who can help us.
It spreads like cancer.

This hurt aches in our hearts.
It stabs in our backs.
It breaks our bones.
It also confuses our minds.

Our Father will heal.
Then we will find what is real.
The people we need. The words they say.
Let our eyes see what is in our way

I am not a label.
I am strong. I am stable.
Don't label me.
I am not a piece of property.

I am not my mother.
I am not like any other.
I am me.
I am who i want to be.

I am myself.
Yes, I do need help.
Sometimes I cannot stand.
I am a strong woman.

I am who I am.
I can do what I can cram.
I am who God made me.
I am created perfectly.
Crystal Freda Oct 2017
We don't need people to tell us
or things to think of us as more.
We don't need lots of attention
or more waters on your shore.
You and I are beautiful
just the way we are.
It may be something you hear a lot
but you are perfect even with your scars.
Love yourself.
You are important.
Don't forget it
because you are not forgotten.
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
I am here
are some powerful words.
They help you through every bump,
dent, obstacle, and curve.

In this life,
we just survive to live.
We are so obsessed with yourselves,
we have no love to give.

No one encourages one another
to live out their potential.
We have to remember everyone
is important and everyone is special.

I am here
could help someone's fate.
Those words may inspire
before it's too late.
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
You lift me up
when I am down.
I call Your name
when I am bound.
and I need Your love
when I am on the ground.

I'm on my knees
crying every night.
You grab my face
and tell me it's all right.
I call Your name
with all my might.

In Your presence
I am found.
You knight me queen
with a golden crown.
I am infinitely Yours
forever and now.
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
I can't...
I can't watch you live a lie.
I can't watch you
say goodbye.

I can't...
I can't watch you breakdown.
I can't watch you
shatter to the ground.

I can't..
I can't watch you live another life.
I can't watch you.
I can't fight.

I can't...
I can't see you be what you are not.
I can't watch you
damage yourself and rot.

I can't...
I can't watch you from who I knew.
I can't watch.
I can't be with you...
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
On one summer day,
she relaxed by the waves.
In this peace she'd stay
for the sun she craves.

The salty, misty air
dwindled drops from the sea.
It gave a spume to her hair,
but on her skin it would flee.

She meditated on the surges
with her pale feet in the sand.
Each wave comes and emerges
onto the dense and dry land.

The wind just a blowing,
and the sky was ever so blue.
The waves were just a going,
and this is what she would do.
Crystal Freda Apr 2018
If...
If it ever happens.
Feeling like it never will.
If...
If this can help fill...
a gap deep down.
If...
If I can stop feeling bound.
If...
Will become a when.
When...
When it does
you will be free
When...
When makes an if
a possibility.
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
I feel full
but yet empty.
Intensely sharp,
but yet dull.

I'm stable
yet unbalanced.
I feel willing
yet not able.

I feel in the dark
but yet a blink of light.
Cocooned,
but ready to take flight.
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
If only
she didn't let him go.
If only,
if only she had known.

If only
this hurt doesn't last long.
If only
she could be strong.

If only
she could tell him.
If only
the light wasn't dim.

If only
she didn't wait.
If only,
but now it's too late.
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
If I walked a little,
would I walk at all?
If I tried a little,
would someone take my fall?

If I spoke out,
would anyone hear me?
If I made the goal,
would anyone cheer me?

If I made a mistake,
would you help or accuse me?
If I hurt myself,
would you lift or abuse me?

People should never need to hear if
when they are in need.
Reach out in love
in order for someone to succeed.
Crystal Freda Dec 2019
You are beautiful.
You are lovely.
You are special.
You're above anything.

You are important.
You are smart.
You can do anything.
You have a good heart.

You are empowered.
You are kind.
You will make it okay.
You will shine.

If you read any of this,
please receive it.
I hope you will now or later
believe it.
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
I life my hands
and give you You praise.
I raise my voice
and sing Your name.

You are everything to me
and I'm everything to you.
You are everything I need.
I just want to worship You.

I lay myself
at your feet.
I cry my eyes,
you are all I need.

I hear Your voice
and I am brand new,
and even still
I just want to worship You.
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Roses unfold
millions and millions
that it seems.
A garden untold
of gorgeous flowers
and petals and leaves.
Red, yellow, and pink
scattered all around,
bright colors welcomed
as you lay and think
while petals settle.
Crystal Freda Nov 2018
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid of a tiny pebble
causing a small ripple
and crashing against my boat.
I'm afraid.
Afraid of a miniature droplet
falling on my bright sunny day.
I'm afraid.
Afraid of the smallest things.
Never knowing if I'm going to be okay.
I'm afraid.
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
She lost her touch.
She lost her smile.
She hasn't been herself
in quite a long while.

Every day she'd look,
but all seemed gone.
She lay in bed
for all was wrong.

Her thoughts and actions
were not her at all.
She'd crumble at every step,
every mile, every fall.

She stayed this way
for a couple of years.
Waking up to sadness
and lying in tears.

After all this time
she wants to change things.
Let hope take a hold
and let happiness sting.

She will find her touch.
She will smile.
She will find herself,
but this time in a short while.
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
She picks flowers in the spring
and eats popsicles in the summer heat.
She jumps in piles of leaves in the fall
and in winter fuzzy socks snuggle her feet.

She wears her spring dresses
and swims in the deep.
She shivers in the autumn breeze
and shovels snow filling up quite steep.

She views new plants growing
and tans in the sun so bright.
She glares at the glowing  colors
and plays in a snowball fight.

She looks to the butterflies fluttering
and jumps in a pool.
She picks golden, juicy apples
and is bundled in blankets of wool.

No matter the season
she is giddy  and free.
In every season
she is who she is destined to be.
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
All her body covered in tears
like a salt filled bath.
A river of water
flowing in her path.

She tries to swim in her tears
one drop after the last.
Every memory haunts her,
she can't escape her past.

She envies the happy
standing on the sun.
Being able to stand in peace
not having to run.

Though we all have problems
we try to run from,
and if we escape too many
it won't be just some.

It's hard to stand
when you're drowning in tears.
Do all you can do
in order to conquer your fears.

Life gives us a chance
to capture more than one.
Maybe one day you will be happy
and standing on the sun.
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
Inside of me,
your heart is
tangled
with mine.
Inside of me,
our love is
always
divine.
Inside of me,
is full of
fluttering
butterflies.
Inside of me,
you shine like
pearly
skies.
Inside of mine,
our love will
never
subside.
Inside of me,
you will never
leave
my
side.
Crystal Freda May 2018
To be inspired,
look to the sky.
To be inspired,
let out a good cry.
To be inspired,
look at nature around.
To be inspired,
think when you're bound.
To be inspired,
think out of the box.
To be inspired,
take peaceful walks.
To be inspired,
let inspiration come.
To be inspired,
let your imagination run.
Crystal Freda Jan 2018
I lift my hands.
I bow on my knees.
I look up high
and sing melodies.

My heart beats for your praise
and I shout out your name.
I feel like nothing,
but you still love me the same.

My eyes fill with tears
and they fall on my face.
You pick me up
and take me to our special place.

I seek you
as you shine your light.
You keep me safe
from the darkness of the night.

I stand by You
and not by myself.
You wrap me in your arms
and I don't want to be anywhere else
Crystal Freda Jan 2022
She mustered up the mahogany
clouds and the salmon skies.
A raving reflection on the limpid lake
highlighting the hue in her hazy eyes.

Her tiny toes tickled the tide
brushing back bursts of the bay.
Whirring winds welcomed her hair
to the amplified air it stayed.

Deep daylight drowns dully
into the surrender of the sunset sea.
She steps up as she struts on the span,
her flat feet, and hovering hair are free.

I remember before
my friends and I would explore.

When a smile appeared on my face
when I was in my happy place.

When things were simple.
All I had to worry about was a pimple.

But all good things end
and depression is my only friend.
Crystal Freda Jan 2019
His love will never stray away.
He planned it that way.
As beating ended, pain was diminished
With his last breath,He said It is Finished.

Those three days must felt an eternity
but from this act of love we are free.
He rose to show us love never fails.
His power will rain and hail.

Chills tickle our spines
when the story intertwines.
How we got what we didn't deserve.
His love showered in His final words...
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
It's time to grow.
Grow together.
Goodness will flow.
Flow righteously.

It's time to let go.
Let go of fear.
Falling like snow.
Snow turned to a warm heart.

It's time to sow.
Sow in someone's soul.
Love will show
when you change.

Come here, child.
I know it's been a while
since you haven't felt me,
but I will never leave.

I have stayed in your heart
even if we feel apart.
No need to grieve,
for I will never leave.

I am always here.
I will never disappear.
What a love we weave
because I will never leave
Crystal Freda Dec 2018
What if I stray away?
I will still be here.
What if you don't want to stay?
I will always be near.

What if I mess up?
I will still care.
What if I don't measure up?
You will,for you are rare.

What if I can't grow?
I will lift you higher.
What if I am too slow?
I will still have the desire.

Why are you still here?
Jesus smiled.
I will never disappear
for you are my child.
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
When I woke up, you were not there.
I lay in my bed
reminiscing memories
twirling in my head.

I miss you already.
I miss your laugh, your smile
Counting the days,
but that seems like awhile.

I wish time would go faster
so I don't have to wait.
I know we are forever.
This is fate.
Joy
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
Joy
Like a child on Christmas day,
like paint to an artist,
like crashing waves on the bay
like notes to a harpist.

A joy so transforming
Sweeping you off your seat.
It's so heartwarming
causing saltate to your feet.

God is restoring your life
with pure elation.
Impacting your inside
making joy the foundation.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Twirling around a pole
She is filled with such joy.
She sustains feelings of being whole.
A feeling of something to enjoy.

The sun is lowering down
as the street lights glitter on.
Darkness beckons the ground.
The sunlight will soon be gone.

She lives in this small town
where her heart belongs.
Her happiness has a vibrant sound.
It sings enticing songs.
Crystal Freda May 2020
I saw you in a hotel room
on vacation with your family.
You saw me with painful eyes
and walked away angry.

My heart sagged like a bag of flour
as you desperately flew by.
I guess you didn't have the audacity
to come and at least say hi.

Later on, you run into me again
in your blue striped polo.
Your hazel eyes breezed into mine
and they did not let go.

His eyes scarred with hurt as he said
"I have really missed you."
We embraced firmly as I inhaled
the soft smells of his polo so blue.

I woke up to my empty and purple room
knowing you are gone from me.
Having to remember every day
that was just a dream, not reality.
Crystal Freda Feb 2018
You're just a girl
some may say.
Just someone
who has babies every day.

Just someone
who gets emotional too much..
Just an object
you think you can touch.

We are more than
just a girl.
We carry 51%
of the human world.

We stand up
with good aim.
If we fall,.
we bleed just the same.

Just a girl
should never be used.
Makes us feel
ashamed and abused.
Crystal Freda Apr 2022
Be hopeful,
all things will come to an end.
Somethings may have a new beginning.
Some may be dead.

In this life,
everything is for our good.
We may not think that,
but we really should.

So keep hoping
and keep believing.
You never know
what you might be receiving.

Your smile
can melt away
every tear.
Conquer every fear,
and will always be here.

Your smile is the best
thing God gave you.
It sticks like glue,
and helps with
all you do.

So keep smiling
even if you don't feel so.
Your smile brightens as you go,
and is making others grow.
Crystal Freda Aug 2018
A secret place
but only to you.
Such peace
will break through.
A giant mass
full of the skies' tears.
Waves and ripples
echo in your ears.
Breathe the lake's aroma
and taste the salt.
Enjoy God's creation
from Heaven's water vault.
Peace surrounds
every rock, every view
around the land
and around you.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Lanterns in the sky
swirling its direction to sunrise.
Golden flowers glisten by
bringing a sweet surprise.

Blue, tottering oceans
turn yellow from the sun.
Making such amazing motions
entering together as one.

Rising, steep mountains
gesture below the sunrise.
Sheer, rich canyons
below the lantern skies.
Crystal Freda Aug 2017
Mint leaves glitter down
the sweating glass
of sweetly, sour lemonade.
Each sip slides past
through the slender straw
with lemons freshly made.

Every place you go
has destiny.
That's why it's
called a destination.

Everything you think
is a dream.
All you have to do is
use your imagination.

Everything you create
is a part of you.
You just have to let go
to see what your hands can do...
Crystal Freda Sep 2017
Let it rain
in my soul.
No more pain.
Lord, take control.
Don't be afraid.
It will be okay.
The price is paid.
He'll always stay.
