Things
Lisa Batchelor Sep 2015
In times of grief you learn some things. Here are the things I have learned:
1) your life is not over because you have a bad day. And a bad day doesn't mean a bad life.
2) family may be all you have, but do not take them for granted because one day you'll wake up and they'll just be gone.
3) God has a plan. He has everything set out for you and even though you can't see it in this moment, everything is going to be okay.
#3 is by far my favorite.
Something from my journal entry today.

I Can't Wait
Lisa Batchelor Sep 2015
All I hear anymore is:
I can't wait to get through this year.
I can't wait for the school trip in May.
I can't wait to start high school.
I can't wait to start driving.
I can't wait to go to college.
I can't wait for this.
I can't wait for that.
Instead of wishing your life would co faster, slow down. Just live. Just breath. It can wait.
Just live. Just breath. Slow down.

My World
Lisa Batchelor Jul 2015
I cannot explain the way my mind goes crazy around you.
I cannot explain the way my heart races around you.
All I know is since the day I met you my world has been upside down.
But I guess I wouldn't want it any other way.

The Only Thing
Lisa Batchelor Oct 2015
The only thing I really need in life, is you.
Just a quick little night thought.

I hate me
Lisa Batchelor Jul 2015
When I look in the mirror I hate what I see
I look and I see someone unknown to me
But hey that's okay I'll be okay soon
On the way up to heaven, past the moon
Just thinking.

My Father
Lisa Batchelor Oct 2015
One day,
A sad day,
I was walking home.
I heard a voice,
My fathers voice.
He said,
"Dear, You've been through enough of Hell,
Let us go home,"
And he walked me through the pearly gates.
The gates of Heaven.

When Will It End?
Lisa Batchelor Jul 2015
When will it end?
Nonstop crying
The feeling of pain and dying

When will it end?
Kids being abused
God, they're so confused

When will it end?
All the self harm
The blood on their arms

When will it end?
The sleepless nights
The parental rights

When will it end?
"I wanna go home!"
"I can't do this alone!"

When will it end?
Society telling you who to be
When all you need to be is free

When will it end?  
She's gone now, home, safe
Done feeling the feeling of grief

Well that's your answer
It ends when someone's pushed to far
From April, but it has a good message.

I Fell

I always told you
That I'd never fall for you

You
Lisa Batchelor Aug 2015
You
My brain hurts as you wonder through it tonight
You look lovely, you look happy
But I wish you would leave so I could get some sleep
Dedicated to my cousin and mamaw who  I lost this year. I love&mis;; you both.

— The End —
