I say the words
That may or may not help me
I say the names
That may or may not be heard.
I cry the daily tears
That may or may not heal me
And gather up the strength
To face another day of pain
Without a bird outside my window.

Still struggling with several issues
My biggest fear was
My loved ones, passing, dying
I guess it’s because
Being lonely is mortifying

That was such a mindful
Thing to be scared of
Like I am forgetful
But I never forget love

Yet now I am afeared
Frightened maybe
They cheered
I didn’t see

I missed out
I feel scared, but also mad
That’s what this is about
I am so afraid, it makes me sad

It’s so selfish
My biggest wish is to be happy
I want to distinguish
The world not being ******

And one of my deepest fears
Is ending up like you
My eyes filled with tears
Not knowing what to do.
Why do we have to always compete?

Why should we always have to prove
that we are better than somebody?

Why is just being good not enough?
There was a time not so long ago when my head hung down and my spirits were low
Forever in a funk and moving slow
I needed a pick-me-up to help me go
My spirits were crushed and I had no faith in trust
Down on myself and feeling pretty low
My back against the wall with nowhere to go
God came calling
He showed himself to me
In all of his glory, he made me see
How much better life can be……
If I believe in his story
Believe in his faith
Believe in the sacrifices that he made
So.....
I can live each day better than the rest
No longer broken beaten and depressed
I can live without worry
Without hate
In Jesus name, God is great!
Up until recently, when I was diagnosed with cancer, I had lost my faith and all belief in a higher power during that time of being faithless I was left, wondering what was out there for me when that day comes and at some point, I begin to realize it’s a pretty empty feeling I can’t tell you exactly what made me. Find my faith again but if you’re reading this poem, you can obviously see that it has entered my life once again in a big way, and I find comfort in knowing that there is someone watching over us, and when my time comes no matter how soon or far away that is, I will be at peace in the next life, even if you don’t believe in the good Lord above, just know that I am praying for you and I’ve got enough faith for us all.
If you want to know the real me,
I say: look in my eyes.
Because if you see my neat hair and clothes,
you might believe I’m okay.
So I’ll say it again: look in my eyes.
These days I feel like a broken Rubik's cube — all twists, unending chaos.
I had good intentions when I first found you
You seemed like the missing piece to my unsolved puzzle.
But time blurred the lines - the world grew loud,
And I left you on a shelf to gather dust.
I was chasing a dream, but I couldn’t make it in time. Now, as days, months, and years pass, it feels distant; almost foreign. I don’t know, to be honest. I’m just trying to figure things out.
Sometimes in our darkest times
We are given a miracle of hope
When we want to give up
A thread to something
Comes
Light shining through
A hand reaching out
In the deepest darkness
We need to have faith
To believe
We should never give up
Even in our toughest times
Light will get through
Eventually
Believe
Let that faith light up the world
In the darkness
Because I loved you
I fancied myself kind
To bow at your fingertips

Because I loved you
I felt myself strong
Enough to break

Your care,
Ever changing,
Floods me inside out

The dam bursts just
from the pinprick of a fracture

And I shatter

Because I loved you
