Unexpectedly, like a thief in the night
Depression will come
Anxiety
Anger
Despair will introduce itself
threaten existence,
testing
Faith,
Assaulting the most precious possessions
Leaving behind bitterness
footprints  
in the coldest nights

But none define whose you are

Don’t fight alone.....
Cynthia May 2017
It was nothing but a blur
Amidst the insecurities of life
Hasty decisions
Jumping to conclusions
Hiding blemishes
Closing Gaps
In between
Broken roads
Perfectioning one another's flaws
Letting go
Only one thing holding it all together
The rope
c-u-t

No longer held by a ~~thread
Falling down
Way down
A bottomless pit
Down the road
Reading signs of betrayal
Soaked
In confusion and despair
Finding
Strength to be cleansed once again
In a land
Drastically dry
Dead-unchanging
From lack of conviction and repentance
Dying to the world instead of the word.
Cynthia Oct 2015
Surrounded by mistakes & regrets?
Labels don't define you
Are you running this race
Fighting demons inside your head?
I don't think I am nonchalant
If I don't scream at the top of my lungs;
I am alive, but death on the inside
Life is like a treasure chest
Full of gold, silver, trophies, souvenirs,
Miscellaneous items that at times mean nothing but an attachment of challenges and accomplishments; yet none define who you truly are on the inside.

Walking thousands of steps
Measuring footprints left behind
Stumbling blocks
Analyzing
Walking through slippery roads
Dead ends
Ascending mountains
Descending
Facing ephemeral seasons
Running away
Chasing
The wind
The worst of all facing storms
a hurricane
mind-like-storm
Through the journey
Remember that no waves can ever drown you
Find rest in the secret place, Embrace.

It may look like a setup
No consent 
No scheduling ahead of time
No time to prepare
Raindrops falling

From an aching roof
Disappointment will ponder
Through each wall
Can you stop the inevitable?
You can't.
You must wait for the rainstorm to be over.
And so you must be reminded,
"Above All Else, Guard Your Heart."
Seasons
If we lose heart, we have lost everything.

Be still and guard your heart.
Cynthia May 2015
If you pick me, you will forever live in poetry land.
Flowers blooming all the time.
If you pick me, you will always be enlightened with the word.
In the word our life will be sustained.
In all directions, I will protect your heart, mind, and spirit.
Falling into temptation, never making it my intention.
If you pick me, our love will overflow like a river in every season of life.
Breathing life,
Exhaling hope, despite all the chaos in this world.
But before anything,
you must be His favorite one for me.

Strange to a wicked land
Won't use life's bad hand
As an excuse to sin again
But then again his inner man is unexempted
From mistakes made at times when his flesh is tempted
He chose to live right
Chose to tithe, chose to give right
Chose to use his words to edify instead of incite
Heated discussions that may escalate to something worse
But he used his words to bless a life instead of curse
Encourages others, even when he needs it more than them
Because a love inside was given by the one who died for him
His next relationship will be the last one he seeks
When God directs him to his future wife slash help meet
They'll raise a family in the perfect way God designed it
With his Word being the foundation there aligned with
And through it all, he'll understand his righteous life's a vapor
Then will fade into the everlasting arms......of his Savior
