Elizabeth Burns
I can feel her trying to crawl out of me
Out of the nest I've sown tightly around her
She's fighting...
I can feel her breathing
I can't numb her bashing anymore as a faint itch
I feel her
Scratching and clawing at the walls...
She will not be defeated...
She needs me to set her free...
But I still whisper,
"Hush. It's not quite the right time yet...
I don't know if it ever will be."

Just to know that he loves me
And that everything is going to be okay
That's all I need

Poetria
I can hear you,
the beat in your chest,
it rings in my head;
a wordless lullaby.

I wish
sometimes
that you
could be mine.


But we both know creation
in the cage of my mind,
can only exist
behind my closed eyes.
(This is oddly satisfying, writing about someone who doesn't exist.)

Born
Child,read my diary.
Dad's also been hurt by women
hurt real bad
heartbreaking experiences didn't obscure my "woman-view
I gathered guts to love again,
gleaned my lessons and got back in the groove

God's got you,ask him to lead you to your boaz, who's got one agenda
"Giving you prosperity and not disaster
. ..a future full of hope

That said ,child,you'll never know what loves all about until you trust.
really trust
take the risk
everything in life's a risk

Risk your trust,child.
fall in love
