I'm so cold
My heart has troubles beating
I am still waiting for happiness to unfold
To stop it from feeling like I am being restricted while breathing

I am so jaded
I would be happy with just feeling fine
I don't even feel anger I am so faded
Would you lend me your eyes to see sunshine

I wish I could get out of my head
But there is only one thing that I fear
That people already see me as dead
And that I will have to die with no one near

I should just except I am a goner
I am of no use to any one
I wont be here much longer
For life it is just another day and I am its setting sun
The difference in these adjectives
Is in the letter "I"
There are many Faithful
Who would believe a lie.

There is no assurance
In God's wealth, you see,
Prosperity's not always given
Nothing comes for free.

Evangelists will tell you,
"SOW YOUR SEED TODAY!!!"
They target the gullible
And they had better PRAY.

Remember that letter "I"?
They bandy it about.
They tear up the floorboards
And they scream & SHOUT!

So you sow your seed to them
Expecting God's applause!
You are expecting miracles...
BUT GOD'S NOT SANTA CLAUS!!!

That's where you get angry.
You get mad at GOD.
The "I" replaces "E"
Now isn't THAT odd?

But "E" stands for EFFORT.
It stands for EXCELLENCE.
It stands for ENDURANCE.
Use your INTELLIGENCE.

Bitter people don't GET blessings.
They're only chastised MORE.
God is NOT a MERCHANT
At some celestial STORE!

Be grateful for what you DO HAVE.
If you live in the U.S. coasts.
If you're in a land of plenty
You have MORE THAN MOST!

So watch out for those letters.
Endurance is a JOB.
And it is a terrible thing

TO FACE AN ANGRY GOD!

There's a point when you have to make a decision. When the going gets tough, it is a blessing in disguise.

I may have been ripped off for hundreds of dollars. An online clothing company  (Modlilly) scammed me. I don't have enough money for food this month, let alone rent. But I won't let the "I" (ego) get the better of me. "E" also means ENERGY. I'm planning for a yardsale. I won't be reading for a while because there's alot of work & planning in my future. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME. THANKS!
My inner self thirsts for the Living God
yet my spirit struggles with the darkness
Why are you cast down,O my inner self
you moan and weep over what you cannot change
the darkness tries without ceasing to cover my light
for it cannot darken my light,for my light comes from You
Weary my form is,it needs Your rest,calming my tears
Why are you cast down,O my broken heart
Hope in God,trust in faith,long for love
Wait expectantly for He Who is the help of my countenance
Who restores my inner self to the Everlasting to Everlasting Light

old people are fascinating
like thick books
so full of life

it's a great shame
some are so full of

death, too.

There ARE many elderly
who are vivacious,
but, especially in nursing homes
they just wait to die.
Tragedy.

I am not opposed
To being exposed
I just don't want people to go ballistic
Making me feel enclosed

I am not trying to be sadistic
I am just trying to be realistic
But my heart is unprotected
When I am being artistic

Their words got me effected
But without them I feel neglected
I feel like it is all worth my time
When some one says they feel connected

It is a rough climb
Through grime and peoples slime
I will still work on being respected
While I am still in my prime
