The beautiful thing is that
You don't need to worry
You need not fear or cry
The fact of the matter is
The Devil is ONLY
The father of the lie
He's a liar, and that's
what he does best
So when he bothers you
It is only a test.
Remember, it's why, not just the way
Jesus died for you
So please, don't let yourself sway,
He fights for you.
It's not our war
We're only
Collateral damage.
It may not make sense
But it's not ours
to manage

I thought it would be bliss, I never thought about anything falling apart. He was my heart, my forever.
I was so excited every time he walked through the door
I remember his sent, his laugh, his whistle... It sounded like happiness.
The way he embraced me
Made me feel like the only woman in the world.
I just knew he would never hurt me. Did he make me feel safe? Safe was an understatement.
As the years dragged on,
Disagreements arose, issues I thought would be important to him because they were important to me, left him cold. Aloof to me.
His temper grew with each year, it seemed to bring the house down.
The children and I never knew how to walk on those egg shells.
Making too much noise, saying the wrong thing, doing the wrong thing.
Uncomfortability became our life,
Wine became my best friend.
Singing was an outlet I cherished, I would never blow up as long as I could sing.
The separation was the longest and hardest suicide.
The divorce finished me.

I might die tomorrow.

I am 5, & I don't know my family. I was born like this.
They say my life is in gods hands,
but I don't know what God is? God if you are there, will you please send me an angel?

I heard angels are beautiful.

A lady came today, she said I was so pretty. She told me she would take  me somewhere special where they would take care of me, is she your angel?

3 days later I was on the ocean, shoved into a train car on a boat. All of us, children,
we need baths, we need food. She lied, we are not safe.

Oh no! Where am I?
This place doesn't look clean,
this is scary, now I am in a cage like an animal!
We all are, all the children around me, they are crying... they are not safe,
we are so sad,
they are hurting.
Where am I?

It is so dark in here, it is so cold. Please bring help,

I might die tomorrow.

Please send me an angel.
please send me an angel.

I don't claim to know
What's good and what's not
There's things I know
that aren't just thoughts
I remember that night
the wind blew cold
it tried to **** us
But we were stronger
than the wind
We were stronger in the end
We stood up
We fought
took our stand
Full of endurance
Resistance
They swung and hit
but the ball it missed us
They're aiming For something
they can't reach
Someone who loves us
strong enough
to make us trees
Our roots growing deep
Holding on with both hands
Drinking from streams
They cannot touch
We know what's right
The end is in sight
Now we take our stand
Unite

Sadness and confusion
Go hand in hand
Complimenting eachother
Sticking together
Building eachother up
Tears like a river
Drowning out
the ability
To rise above
