Haven't Cried in a While - Mama's Childhood Lore

Tears are filling up my eyes,
It's been awhile since I've cried.

The warmth of salty fluid flows,
From the pain within my soul.

Broken dreams of love we hold,
Choosing sin -its goods are sold.

See me crying in the night,
A cold dark chamber blurs my sight.

Stripped of envy and disgrace,
He walked into the wicked place.

Making choices everyday,
Is how the game of life is played.

See the sucker at the bar,
See the midnight falling star.

Twinkle, twinkle lost its light,
Darkness flexed his muscles' might.

Lucifer laughs when we cry,
He taunts the sinner til he wants to die.

God send Angels to my son,
Protect him til fool's hill is done.

Dazzling worldly wanton ways
Entices many foolish slaves.

Freedom to live by your grace.
Answer his call when he prays.

Draw him to Your perfect peace,
Humble crying on his knees.

Mama loves him evermore,
Forever sings the childhood lore.

Weak and Selfish - I am That Girl

The preacher says we are all the body of Christ...that each member is necessary, a part that functions in unison with all others, but God, in this life--in our time spent on earth--in present day local churches, this is not really true. It sounds good, repeated over and over, because the Bible says so and therefore we all should. But churches seek the best, the ones that fit their mold, the ones who meet their mission, the one that helps their goal. They keep track of numbers, saving all the souls, running them through baptism, collecting them in the fold. But those of us with broken parts, not shiny like the rest, we hear what no one else hears, we feel words with our soul, we sense when something isn't right, therefore we get left out in the cold. Who wants to work with such a pain, she is trouble where she goes, she stirs the pot and sifts for truth, she sees the thorns and not the rose. Why can't she just be silent, "if you don't like...

I Want To Be Normal

I want to help others but I can't help myself. I love and know God and trust Him too, but that doesn't stop my brain from being a jumbled mess. Jumbled thoughts can be pretty! Scattered thoughts keep bombarding me. I feel like a rattle-head. I think I wrote once about this before, being a rattle-head . And it was the least-read post...Even I couldn't relate to it much after the episode passed. I have cried out to God for help this morning and for the past two days. I have gone to others for prayer and carefully, with exercising great inner control tried to explain to my family of three teens and my dear husband (I almost didn't want to say dear, oh, how hard it can be on a marriage--to twirl out of control and to not know why or how to make the top stop spinning). I don't know what pushed the top into its first spin. And that is part of the problem I can't think clearly. I can't remember even simple things. It is like the f...

I Am In Pain - People Hurt Me - Looking Forward to Death

Leave me alone, I am in pain. I don't need to be around people, I am in pain. People hurt me, I am in pain. I do not get hurt by books, by food, by clouds and rainbows. Or cats, and clothes, or trees that blow in the wind.... No, just by those I think are friends. People hurt me; they don't understand me. My arms feel so heavy underneath, I know this is the first sign of overload. My heart has a hole, pierced one to many times in life. My eyes are filled with drops of sorrow, sadness and regret. My mouth is tight, clenched, frozen, no words want to go. Why am I different? Why do I have to hurt so much, all the time, so easily, by so many.... So many days, so many people, so many ways. When does my cup of torment forever filled up to be more than "enough"? Is it because I so love You, God, that I am such a target of your enemy? "But you have not endured blood sweat tears," the wise one jeers. "God will never give you more ...
