Own Flaws
 Sep 2014 M
SG Holter
When admitting own flaws
Rather than pointing out
Those of the other,
Compromise paves the road
To shared progress;
Forgiveness goes
Four ways.

Routine
 Sep 2014 M

I feel as though I'm in a cage,
School, work, eat, sleep,
A never ending cycle forming
A life of daily routine, not surprises
One day we have to stop and ask
did God really put us here
to get stuck in a boring routine
did God create beautiful life
just to work, pick up groceries, eat
I don't believe God created this world,
So big, un- discovered, beautiful
So that we can hunker down
In a concrete subdivision
And let routine slowly tear away
At the *dreams we once had

Heart Focus

The amount of love I give to everyone is overwhelming
People who **** me off still receive my love
Because my heart, well it just can't focus
My heart spills out to everyone like water,
I have love for individuals, who doesn't?
But my since my heart is like water, no focus
I'm afraid I'll never be able to focus my love on one person

Nothing in this world compares to the feeling
Of gliding through a Rocky Mountain snowy forest
Powder gliding under the skis, silently
And feeling like you're, for once, at peace

more than anything
I just want someone
to take me seriously
and treat me like an adult

I could watch the gears turn in his head,
obsessive, you read that book twenty times
you tell me about all your sisters even though its pointless
you tell me how you think, searching for help
obsessively searching for help? a presence,
lots of friends who care, must be a leader role,
tired of being independent, wishes to be dependent
scared of dependence? childhood dependence
wants to grow into adulthood- so looking for equal partnerhood?
hates invalidation, that accords with equality,
wants equal standing but love and help.

fear the Lord

My Lord
has knelt me down
has bent my back to the point where it broke
and He healed me and showed me I am nothing
Lord who takes the lives of princes
knew that I had thought I was much
and mighty, and He made me fall, He took
my muscled arms and pulled the muscle out
He said, this is how much you are,
this is how much you are without me
and this is how much I am
and I have never understood why we should
fear a God that is all powerful and all loving
because why fear something that is always on your side?
why must we fear a God such as this,
who always works on our behalf?
I understand now.
we must fear because He is so great
and so wild
and so ever-driving forward and we think
He will make it all turn out well, and He will,
but we don't see that it is well,
we are as ants in a flood who cannot see forward
or back, good or evil, we understand death
and the tide brings it, so we must be afraid
for we are so much smaller and so much more ignorant
than we had believed- the world is not for our
immediate happiness, it is for the perfection of heaven
the world begins and ends around us and His hand
works the masses of nature and we are nothing, we
are nothing, and truth must be faced and to
be brave in the face of that truth is to be foolish,
so it is good to be afraid.

Lies about Dad
 Sep 2014 M
Rj
It starts with a spark,
Something to set him off,
The most minuscule of problems,
Then starts the cussing,
The yelling and screaming
Next comes my shaking,
Shaking so much my legs are vibrating
Then comes the tears
that run all night,
Then comes the lies:
*Im fine, I'm alright

Faking it
 Sep 2014 M
Rj
All day, feeling like ****
Is he ever going to quit,
Faking a laugh
Faking a smile,
For me to be happy?
It might take awhile
Cried all night, not that bad, I'm just sensitive. It'll take awhile to get over..

Still Clean

I was proud of myself,
When I shakily took the blade
Away from my wrist
Because I couldn't stand it
If I started cutting again
I am stronger than before
