allowed

i have allowed you

to rape me

of my kindess

love

compassion

understanding

then you abused me and used me

you left me with nothing

when i needed you the most

i woke from my coma

and decided this is the last time

you are dimissed


despair

deep

despair

is what

i awaken to

everyday

i did not

want to get

up

but God

reached

out his hand

and said rise

and so i did

if it was for

man

i would be

dead in my

grave

but it was

God

all by himself

that has sustained

me

to the point

i am

today

because

with God

i am

something

without God

i am

nothing


depression

depression

had me so

down

to the point

i thought i could

live no more

no one around

me

could truly say

they understood

how i felt

because

it came a

point

when words

could not

describe

the hurt and pain

i felt

everyday

when i woke up

i didn't want

to live anymore

i didn't want

to experience that

kind of pain again

i didn't want

to experience the

low of all lows

i just wanted

to go home

and be in peace

with my grandma

but God

stepped in

and said

i'm not through

with you yet

it is not your

time

you have not

fulfilled

your purpose

so with his

help

i walked through

the valley of

depression

holding God's hand

and he holding mind


shattered

shattered

dreams

lost hope

empty

void

broken

pieces

of what use to be

shattered

unable

to pick

up

it will

only

cause

more pain

dark

empty

no room

brokenheart

shattered

million

pieces

unable

to pick up

will

cause

more pain

shattered

dreams

of the

future

but

i

must

pick

them

up

so

i can

move forward

but

there

are so

many pieces

of shattered

dreams

hope

and love

i do not

know where

to begin

to put

the pieces

back together

again

Contemplation

I sit

I sit and contemplate

About the way things could be

But would it really make a difference

Would you love me more?

Would you care for me more?

Would you share loving and encouraging words more?

Would you even care that I turned into a beautiful woman?

Will time ever develop a positive loving realtionship?

Filled with...

Love

Compassion

Hugs and Kisses

These things are the greatest contemplation of all time for me


Awake

I awake

To negative words

I rise...

To brutal and harsh words

Then I walk into a room

A room full of hurt

Hurt that is being used against me

I try to counteract it with love

But it gets harder everyday

I'm worn down by the words

"Dumb"

"Stupid"

"If it wasn't _____"

The words, phrases, and even monologues begin to beat me spirit

And I'm down for the count

When I get up I'm covered with bruises and blood

And all I can do is cry

Cry in frustration

Hope that one day that things will subject to change

I've been beaten so much that physical signs are beginning to show

I cover them up

So no one will suspect anything abnormal is going on

I begin to grow quiet

I talk less

And I hide the scars from the world

And when no one is around I try to cleanse my soul

And if I cry around you I try not to draw attention to myself

Because if I do

You might get close enough to see the bruises

No makeup

No clothes

Nothing

Can hide these bruises I endure everyday

Its nothing but my trust in someone higher than me that has kept me here in the battle of life


Thoughts

Thoughts

Toughts run through my mind

Thoughts about how I want life to be

What I expect out of my life

At times I get totally lost in my thoughts

That I lose all and total track of time

My thoughts, my dreams

Are what keep me going at times in this world of chaos

Its the time in life when everything can stand still

And nothing else really matters

No friends

No money to pay for school

Unpaid bills

A sick body

Sick love ones

Stress

Negative forces and energy

It really doesn't matter

My thoughts are mine

Mine to escape

Escape to that place that I make my wildest dreams come true in real life

My thoughts and meditation on the Word keeps me in the game


I am Somebody

I am somebody

I am everything you said I never was

I became what you said I couldn't do

Every word you tried to use against me

Was fire for me to go and do great things

I've proved you wrong

With little or no help from you

Now what more words?

More hurtful beatings?

More bruises more blood more suffering ???

I made it then I can make it now

And do even greater things

You never tell me your proud

And when you do its once in a blue moon

But you can tell me how dumb I am or how I won't be anything

But never a true encouraging word

I overcame once and I can do it again

You knock me down and I got up

I became more than what you ever expected

And still it isn't good enough for your perfect world

I am not you!

I am not the people who hurt you!!

So stop taking it out on me!

Encourage me to do greater things than you

Instead of..."your whole life you've done nothing but things to spite me"

That's not encouraging

That's not positive

That's not building me up

Its tearing me down

You may tear me down, but I will do even greater things

Because all things are possible with my FATHER

The one who stuck with me and walk with me to the point I am today

I am somebody and will be somebody 'cause my FATHER says I am somebody
