This family is filled with hypocrisy
Do as I say not as I do
The fool is you
For you obey
You conform to their ways
You desire approval
But receive disgrace
Mess up and you'll pay  
But shut your eyes
and close the door maybe they'll be nice,
Oh what hope there is to grasp at the wake of that end, but none for now, hold your breath
Wait till you turn blue
But in that last gasp for air they'll pinch your nose and hold your mouth, shhh a little longer they'll whisper until finally your gone
New wrinkles around
my eyes

Still waiting for the
things

I never got a chance
to see



Hands worn from
manual labor

Instead of building
me

Up to all that I
aspired to be



Feet sore with
walking

The same old path

Day after day

Following behind
everyone else

Forgetting to pave my
own way

While the clock still
ticks

Calendar pages flip

My dreams break free

From my long lasting
grip



In my mind

I can travel back in
time

Speak to the inner
child in me

But reality can’t be
rewind

So will I ever find

Fulfillment?

…Tick Tock …

I’ll have to wait and see…
How I hope,
It never gets old.
The   l  ♡  v  e   inside,
That's never been told.
I'm
filing
for
a
restraining
order,
you
won't
stop
trespassing
through
my
dreams

Sunshine,
Rain.
Moon,
Sun.
Black,
White.
What do all of these have in common?
They're opposites.
Just like you and me.
I need the glory of Jesus
To help me
Help me more like Him
In every way
I look to the mountains
I kneel down and pray
Calling on Jesus every day
He is the strength I have
To live with faith
Facing each day and to
Know and believe
Jesus reigns down
With goodness and mercy
Guiding the way to a
Place called heaven
Where we'll rejoice
And praise you Jesus
Jesus help me to be
Faithful to you in
Every way
Your child, your servant
All that you want me to be
Reaching out to a lonely
And hurting world
Believing that you are God
And I worship you
