Safe Place

Sometimes, just sometimes
We push our pain back
So deep down that the surface looks back at us
No, it not clear,
Neither is it a mirror
Drowned in memories.

Though memories have triggers,
What is yours
Mine is that feeling;
That stomach clinching feeling
Eyes closed,
Mouth opened wide yet
Makes no sound.

Pain is beauty
It is an art for those of us who understand
In total it is a lifeline!

Sometimes when I feel empty,
Empty is my full
Everything perfect
Those times the darkness drag me by my feet
Then the faint coy smile
The familiar feeling
Living in that bubble, of fear
Constantly broken
That's my safe place.!

  Indulge me; we all believe the creation story; well those of us who do. Have you taken time to analyze it. 2 separate '' humans '' created, well... Some say 1 but I say 2. 2 trees in the middle of the garden, with 4 rivers. Who won't be tempted?  Beauty is a sight for sore eyes they say. And God saw that it was good. Isn't that interesting... God really isn't the poster boy for certainty amidst the choices he gives us, but one would think he knows; at least what is good.  The earth they say was without form and was filled with darkenes... Hmmm....  Again how do you identify darkness. You see I think the concept of day and night derived from the nonexistent of light where darkness was indenfied makes creationism interesting.  Back on the topic of the humans, wait let's do the tress first.  1 tree on life, how interesting that's tree number 1. 2 tree of good and evil !?.. No wait.. Tree of Knowledge of good and evil and some how a reptile that what i

Sinner's Prayer

Dear heavenly father, I come to you completely with full acknowledgment that I am a sinner. I believe am a child if God, your child,but am not sure. Well... Because I continue to sin.  Though the guilt after kills me and I feel ashamed all the time. Father, I know of you. I want to be good, cos your word teaches us that. But for the most part, I think am good but for this one sin. Then again I know that there is nothing like one sin. Father, I am ashamed, ashamed now to ask for forgiveness. That prodigal son, most times he's on my mind. But even he repented. Me?! .. Am still repenting. Am afraid, sometimes even sure you won't take me back Sometimes I think you will What is the verdict?? Tell me please I shed tears only you and my pillow know. I try to not sin too much, That one koraa, Do I know which one is too less ? Paapa, Right now dier, Tears and wailing don't even move myself any longer Well... They have their moments Still I really want to c

ME

Hello Me; Today was like any other day. I tried like I always do, To be strong. But even the smile started to fade. You know; I heard it called depression. That I do not agree with. I don't feel inadequate Is that a lie? Don't I pride myself of being a pessimist? Well, I guess one without the other is an incomplete analysis. Wow..... Am tired already Just thinking about that. Anyway, all I wanted to say is, I don't feel like ME today. Am allowed ain't I? To be weak Cry Feel like I need love Like I need desperately to be held. Me. You know, we don't owe anyone our Strength Beauty, Togetherness, Toughness and or Assertiveness. Those care free days Where vulnerability is seen as a weakness A disability even Those are not cries for help!! We all need to recharge before a shutdown.
