winter has receded into my bones,
sharper than the strike of rocks and stones,
yet none can penetrate the hive that is my mind,
for you see my child,
love is blind.

Aren’t we too young?
To carry a weight
Crushing us daily
Aren’t we too young?
To think of the end
Bearing down on us
Aren’t we too young?
To let tears go
Slipping down our cheeks
Aren’t we too young?
To hold regrets
Leaving us wanting more
Aren’t we too young?
To wish for death
Embracing us in peace
Please tell me
That it is wrong
That we are too young
I feel like this generation has to grow up too fast. Their whole life is rushed, leaving them longing for a small moment of peace. Some find a more permanent peace when everything becomes too much.

Why do people hate.
They have no real arguments.
All they spew are lies.

how long,
have I spent,
denying,
what cannot be denied,

how long,
have I spent,
trying,
what should not be tried,

how long,
have I spent,
lying,
to myself,
convinced these truths were lies?

The gospel comes complete
with accessories:
Armour to *******
A cross to take up
A crown to lay down
(Something from my commute.)
Piecing together: Ephesians 6:10-18; Matthew 16:24-26; 1 Peter 5:4; Rev 4:10-11.

I’m scared
Even with the army behind me
I’m scared of the look in her eyes
When she realizes
That it’s me holding the knife
Not her anymore
I’m scared
That I’ll still have to stay
And nothing will be okay
I’m scared
Of this sudden change
It’s not just my life
It’s everyones
Everything will be different
I haven’t even had the chance
To find myself yet
I’m scared
I don’t know what I’ve done
But I know it’s huge
Bigger than me
And it’s not fair
But I’m scared still
