Poems I Wrote

The Right Way

(Written in 2006)

~~~~~~~~~~

Left alone in the midst, Left alone to cry,

Left alone with no one and wanting to die.

The wind blows loud and strong in her way,

She tries to fight it but something is blocking the way,

The boy reaches for her hand, he grabs her before she falls,

But when he pulls her close he lets her go like she's nothing at all.

He coldly turns his back and tells her he won’t stay.

She calls out to him but he ignores her and walks away.

She's screaming from the pain and everything inside,

Until a voice calls out . . .

"My Child, I am here, Why was I not your first?

I will save you from your trials and dry your weary eyes

My Child, it is I, Your God, Father, and Most High!"

She looks to Him with praise, the pain all goes away,

The Man she needed most was never far away,

He forgives her for her sins, she smiles and feels joy,

She follows her God and forgets about the boy! :D

My Savior

(Written in 2006)

~~~~~~

You pull me in when I push you away,

You carry me through all the rocks and the clay,

You Never turn Your back,

Your Always by my side,

You are my Savior, Abba Father, and my Guide,

God thank you for saving me,

Thanks for Grace when I act the way I do,

Help me to live everyday to bring more glory to You!

Hide

(Written in 2007)

Lonely and cold

all bottled up inside

the pressure is rising

this is hard to hide

I’ve got to keep trying

I can’t let them see

See all these things that are hurting me

I’m weak, yet I’m hard

I won’t let this go

There’s no one I’ll trust

There’s no one I’ll show

The waves are crashing in

their bigger than before

My hands on the knob

but I can’t open the door

In circles I run

to get through this race

Where are you God?

Why am I in this place?

Find me, I’ve lost me

I only feel numb

Who am I?

I wonder…

what will I become?

Ride

(Written in 2009)

It’s hard to heal

and hard to feel hurt

but in leaving you learn

not to get stuck in the dirt.

You’re stuck in the mud

with your head buried deep,

but there’s a hand reaching

to get you out of this heap

This pathway is new

It’s a new chance,

A time to start over

and try a new dance.

Don’t be stuck in the past

and who you were before

This is your shot

To walk through a new door

God’s opening his arms

He’s pushing you through

You know if you try

nothing will stop You.

You’ll win in this battle

with God on your side,

So hold on, sit back,

and go for the ride!

The Prince or the King

(Written in 2011)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I met this Prince one day

who was charming, smart, and witty

He told me all the “right” things

like I was beautiful and pretty

He showed me sights I’d never seen

and dared me to explore

He enticed me to follow him

and he would give me more

I indulged in his ways and lived the ‘high life’

but soon I found out this would only bring me strife

He betrayed me and left me in the cold

He told me I was nothing and something no one would want to behold

Just when I thought I should give up

the Light shined towards my way

and there He came, my King, to save the day

The prince did not like my King

he plotted to have Him slain

my King was strong enough to win

but knew there was much to gain

He took my sins upon the cross

and because of this the Light shined through

The prince of darkness lost

that day and I became anew!
