Withal

Pressing forward for your relief,

ever wandering with your spirit.

Please send me your guidance and wisdom,

I cannot do this alone.

Banished

So, I got this incredibly big cold sore on my face a couple of weeks ago, and it is finally almost gone. But, yet I got a contemptuous look from someone. I really didn't have it in me to say, "What the f*ck!" But that is what she deserved.

I know it is not me. I know the pain is in her heart. But I got my feelings hurt, and I hate that my feelings got hurt.

Scars

These scars will not heal,

they fester and burn with pain.

Your mistakes are immeasurable,

yet I am awakened to forgive.

You want to linger in the cracks of my brain.

You want to rob me of any joy and peace.

You must face the God who knows

everything you did.

Look Up

Resounding hope is all we have to hold on to.

Inner Beauty

Condemnation

I'm scared of disappointing you, God.
I feel like I don't have what it takes.
I know you show your strength through our weakness,
but I am really scared.

Where does this fear come from?
Why is it always casting a shadow on me?

I ask that you deliver me from this impending doom I seem to always be feeling.
