i'm sick, sick
sick of the disease
the disease of being born
born into this dying race
i thought You came to heal
to bring me back to life
but why do i fail
why do i break
why do i still get sick
i called Your name
i screamed in pain
but i sill get hurt
i still feel sick
my mind is confused
things don't go like i think they should
i want my way to be Your way
but You heal as You so choose
Your redemption is beyond comprehension
Your way is definitely not my own
break ... Read More

tape me up
seal me good
get me in the largest strait jacket you can find
pad the locks
throw away the keys
swallow the combo
wrap me up
i need prevention, some intervention
for my actions bring you pain
my words destroying all the same
i break the golden rule
i speak when there's nothing nice to say
i display the ever unkind
i live the epitome of hurt
all i do is hurt
pass the grey duct
tape my mouth so its ever sealed shut
better yet cut some string
sew this cursed thing
sew those lips and lock ... Read More

i need the stomach punch
i need the wind knocked out
the wind of me, my pride, and i
hit me. punch me. break me down.
i need to breathe You in
i need to breathe me out
inhale all of You
drink in Your spirit,
exhale mine all out
pour me out, please pour me out
i'm letting go
i'm breathing out
i'm giving up
i'm breathing out
i surrender, i surrender
i'm breathing surrender
it's all got to go
it's all coming out
it's time to release
to let it all out
surrendering i am
and breathing me out
taking You in
You're ... Read More

i've got no direction
i can't find rewind
i guess its time to fly
just go with the flow
to where i don't know
i just want to grow...
looking for pause
but stuck in fast forward
wishing for normal
but meant to live abnormal
you got your act together
i can't seem to find my scene
the stage is set
the lines unknown
the curtains drawn
looks like it's time to just go
i've only got one shot at this thing called life
i get one chance
no intermissions, no time outs, and not a single re-do
i get one ... Read More

envious... oh so envious...
lies...i'm lying to myself
saying i am fine and alright
but deep down i know...
that i envy, envy, oh so envious
i tell you that it's ok
i say if you're happy then so am i
lying, lying, lying to myself
saying i am fine and alright
when deep inside i know...
that i envy, envy, envy you so much
you got your act together
while i'm searching for my own
i wish you the best but i'm hoping the worst
hypocrisy is my ever favorite verse
lying, lying, lying to myself
saying ... Read More

i wrote this during pastor davidson's message tonight.
he was talking about being there for one another, about supporting those who are weak, those who are in need. he mentioned a silent scream and that got me thinking and i grabbed a half piece of paper and started writing this:
they're falling, failing, and fearing
they're broken and crying for help
desperate for someone
for one who will hear them and be by their side
can you hear them?
do you hear their silent screams?
it grows louder, their silently ... Read More
