the poem
heres a couple the first one is my newest. hopes its enjoyed.
-------------------------------------------
I’ve lived in the land of the darkness
Where fear and hate take over your heart
Where your soul cries out its hunger
And your life is torn apart
I’ve danced with the shadows of evil
They play nasty games with your mind
They tear you to tiny bloody pieces
Left in the dark for no one to find
You’re always looking over your shoulder
For you know not what creeps up from behind
Walking deeper into the dark emptiness
Eyes gouged out, leaving you blind
For many times you trip and fall
And you’re broken from head to toe
Constantly crying out for help
But no one comes and no one shows
You feel completely hopeless
And in this dark forever you’ll dwell
You shake uncontrollably of fear
Finding yourself in a cold dark lonely cell
You’re left there to starve
Like a prisoner never to be set free
Dirt stained face and bloody hands
Doesn’t matter no one can see
You’re told to be silent
That a whisper or even a silent cry
Will lead you to the chambers
Where you’re meant to rot and die
You try to be brave
But you grow limp and afraid
Lost and abandoned
Left and betrayed
So no longer you hang on
Just let this demon beat you down
Leaving your heart and its remains
Smashed into nothing in the ground
You don’t ask for help
Or wipe the tears from your eyes
You no longer wonder in fear
If anyone hears your heart’s cries
Little did you know
That someone paid the dues
For you to be set free from this
But only if you choose
For a long time you never knew
That escaping this could be done
You never knew there was a man
Who fought the dark and won
Little did you know in the world
A battle was fought for you
So you to can see the light
A man to help you through
So just before you drifted off
Into the world of darkness and death
Someone came running in
Who gave you life and gave you breath
They held the smallest brightest candle
And dropped it to the ground
Picked you up and held you
Once lost but finally found
He held you in his arms that day
For what seemed like eternity
Told you never to be afraid again
Because He loves you wait and see
He asked me if I loved Him
And in His arms wanted to stay
I told him with my whole heart
Thanks for saving me today

Skin Deep
Today i lift my prayer to you
because i just dont feel like me
when i looked in the mirror this morning
i didnt like what i could see
i just dont feel as beautiful
as you remind me that i was made
the huge bags under my eyes
and my hair with split ends and frayed
its just one of those mornings
that i wish i could crawl back in bed
but im praying to you to help me through
these crazy thoughts running through my head
i need you to remind me
that beauty's more than just skin deep
that it doesnt matter about my hair and looks,
or the bags under my eyes from not getting any sleep
its not about how big my clothes are
or what size shoes i wear
its about the size of my heart
and all that i keep there
so please as i pray to you
i pray its my heart you keep
and remind me every morning
that beauty is a whole lot more than skin deep
----------------------------------------------------
alright one more and thats it..no more lol...

One step forward
Six steps back
The desire to be well
And the will to recover I lack
Struggles every night
Day in and day out
Starving to be thin
Is all life’s about
One step forward
Back another five
Deciding I’d rather live
So I fight to stay alive
Struggles every night
Day in and do out
Starving to be thin
Is all life’s about
One step forward
Only back four
Learning there’s more to me
And it’s worth fighting for
Struggles every night
Day in and day out
Starving to be thin
Is all life’s about
One step forward
Back only three
I’m starting to realize
I can set myself free
Struggles every night
Day in and day out
Starving to be thin
Is all life’s about
One step forward
Back just two
I’m starting to improve
But sometimes I lose
Struggles every night
Day after day
Learning how to fight
And slowly break away
One step forward
Another to the side
Side stepping this demon
Because now I know he lied
Struggles every night
But it’s worth all the pain
Because by only moving forward
I have so much more to gain
and that concludes our poetry posting session...take care love you tons
