#cornerstone - Hello Poetry

It’s quite the contrary For the things that nearly broke me To end up as the very foundation of my rebuilding The same things that caused my crumble That left me in wreckage Buried in debris Questioning if I could ever again stand on my feet Became the cornerstone of my very being That which didn’t **** me, though it nearly Truly did make me stronger I once stood with shaky knees and trembling hands Legs threatening to buckle beneath me It was the hell of it all Collapsing into myself The final straw that caused my longest darkest fall That forced me to pick up the pieces And build myself into an indestructible wall Because it was either build or wallow and die amongst the wreckage Either craft myself a lifeboat Or drown in the sea But I chose to stay afloat And now all the bad things They’re what make me, me Of course I don’t think I deserved what happened to me But these were the seeds that were planted That which nourished my growth These are the cornerstone They tried to break me But all they did was make my structure unwavering

When the person you love feels ,you've become the person they loved then The person you love will become the person who loved you and no matter how hard you try, their loss , their memories and your love for them becomes your cornerstone and There is nothing in this world that will help you snap out of it. No books , no prep school , no charity , no clubs , no friends ,no amount of alcohol , not a hundred dates , not even writing a thousand poems about them is gonna help you snap out of it. Your love,your true unrequited love will forever persist as your cornerstone from the day you fell till the day you fall.

Origami Sometimes when you stare at me. I feel naked in front of you. no more than a sheet of white paper. your eyes cut me like razor blades. Your white teeth chew my shapes. you have all the powers I am being folded into the object that you want me to be all that you desire. A deer a bird a aeroplane. your deft fingers fold and crease my shape. can you not see.me my flesh is soft and pliable. my heart is beating with passion for you. my mind is clear and decisive I crave only your love Your acceptance. And yes. your tenderness yet you fold me once again I feel the pain of each crease. Yet I know the truth. in your eyes I am but origami

And now he stands here before you Crucified by you, but once again alive By the love of god alive He is the stone that the builders refused And he's become the head corner stone The almighty laid a stone in Zion A precious stone, for a sure foundation And those who rely on it shall not know fear Because the stone that the builders refused Becomes the head cornerstone The lord he has done this And it is marvelous in our eyes

If you really believe in something, then friend...you better buckle up. Because I believe so much in this one thing, and the roads have never been more rough. I have thought copiously about just giving up. That my luck was over, and that it wasn't half full or half empty with this cup- No, it was more like...when did the cup dry up? And that's the moment I realized what I needed to learn. If this one thing is that thing for which all of me yearns? If it is my destiny? My heart? What I am praying for in both light and dark? Then why did I ever allow myself to give up? Why would He make it happen if I didn't believe He could? So now, from this moment I will no longer lack faith. Because my God is the God who can do all things.
