"Tears To Mend The Soul"

Just once in awhile I would like to be
free to hurt inside
And while I hurt I’d like to have
a faithful friend by my side.

Someone there who will let me cry
and experience the pain I feel
A friend who will allow my tears to flow
as my soul begins to heal.

A friend to offer comfort and care
as they gently understand
My need to mend my aching heart
with their silence and the touch of their hand.

~ StinaLisa ~

We all hate to see someone cry.
Our usual response is to offer encouragement
and to try to wipe away the tears.
We might tell them not to cry
or we might try to fix the hurt they are experiencing.

Too often all they really need
at that moment is to be able to cry;
to experience their pain
and to feel their hurt.

Flowing tears are very beneficial
in the healing of a wounded heart and soul.
The encouragement or solutions can come
later after the tears have stopped.
But first we just need to be there -
to hold them, to touch them,
to allow our love to come through
to them in silence,
and to allow their tears to mend their soul.

Thank You For The Memories

Thank you for the memories
Of a love that's less than true
for the lessons learned were plenty
and the happy times were few.

And I thank you for your support,
the support you would never give
when I needed you the most,
those times, I can't forgive

I thank you for your love,
a love that didn't exist,
for all my childhood memories
are those of pounding fists.

And I really want to thank you
For loving only some,
I tried my best to please you,
But love for me was none.

So I thank you with my heart and soul
for but one good lesson learned
That should one day I love someone,
My love they need not earn

The Cry Of Our Hearts
There is a great deal of depression that has overtaken my soul,
It floods deep within, into every inch that makes me whole.
I wonder and worry of thought throughout the day,
What is to come, to my dismay.

As a flood of tears pour out of me in all my expressions,
more and more comes, more and more depression.

I assure myself everything is ok!
But who am I fooling?
Then I burst into a spirit of rage.
I have questions, and there are answers.
But I'm afraid and much too weak,
When I try to explain,
I hear I'm hearing wrong and need to be meek.
But this is how I feel, there's no wrong or right,
But as I battle with myself, I always lose the fight.

I feel intimidated sometimes by others,
But as I said "This is how I feel"
The pain in me is very real.
I lose control, my thought go wild,
and here I am only a child.
If only you knew what I thought,
If only you knew what I fought.
I need my thoughts held captive.

Oh God, assure me I'm thinking normal
and you'll help me think positive.
I'm hurting, I need you!
Please don't give up on me!
One day I will always make you smile!
Love,
Your Child

Feelings of confusion,
Depression,
Uncertainty.

Where do I belong?
Where do I go?
What do I do?

Deep inside
Is the urge to scream.
At what?

Trapped.
No escape.
Have the need,
The desire,
The want,
For release -
For freedom.

Dreams Of Freedom
Sometimes I wonder what it is like to be free,
Like a monkey swinging from tree to tree,
Or like young eagles way in the skies,
Calling to each other with joyful cries.

Oh, to be free and without a care,
Not to live in bondage or constant fear.
To live each day and spread my wings,
To be forever untouched by negative things.

Attitude

Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful. ~Buddha

Simplicity & Simple Living

WANT TO BE FREE.....
Alone and lost
empty and sad
no one cares
I hurt
I ache inside
I feel so abandoned
I feel so bad
I want to leave
this world of pain
pain that hurts me
in all sort of ways
my body aches
my heart hungers
I want to die
I want to be
free again
and I want to be me
I see it...
I feel my stomach drop..
I hear it...
I feel my heart speed up..
I fell ill loose control.
This fear is growing inside me
Getting worse everyday
I feel I'm going crazy..
I dont want to live this way.
I want the pain and fear to end.
I want to walk away..
I want to become Normal..
And live a happy life again..

My Thoughts

GOD gives me the strength to go on day to day.

 

SOMETIMES
Sometimes I feel so terribly tired
I can't find a way to let go of the pain.
The distress I feel is so very real
I wonder if I'll ever be happy again.
The tears do come, and there's no stopping them
I feel like a wretch and I'm tired as well,
It's so very hard just to find who I am
And the person I see seems locked in a cell.
I wonder if my angel is really still there,
Because he seems distant, I can't feel his cares.
But the tiredness will ease, of that I am sure,
And I'll know yet again of the love that he bears.
I suddenly feel a warmth in my heart
And know that the truth is really inside
It feels like this love is surely still there,
As I rest and lay all my trials aside.
I was losing the thread in this test of my life
But the light did win through as I started to see
The love that was there so true in my heart
And the splendor of truth that will soon set me free
