From Heaven Above – Poem

Why does sin
Have such a grip within
Trapped like a rat in a basement
Feet stuck together in cement
We struggle to break free
All the while saying why me, why me
Let go of that which binds you
God is ready to pull you through
Whatever mess you have been dealt
Is this how Jesus felt???
While He hung on the cross for me
It is finished was his plea
By His stripes you have been healed
He broke the seal
To allow the Holy Spirit
Can you feel it
To come inside of you
So you can be made new
Take some time today
Do not delay
God said come to me when you are weak
He alone will help you get through each new week
No more time to sit and wallow
I know it is a hard pill to swallow
But we have been set free
So our eyes can see
All the love ❤️
That He sends down from above 😇

Get Recharged – Poem

Ever been lost but know where you are
Looking for closure but don’t know how far
Willing to travel to find the answer
Worries and doubts eating you up like cancer
You will never find what you seek
Unless you are willing to peek
God can’t show you all His plans
He keeps them hidden in His hands
Waiting for you to knock, ask, & open the door
So He can show you what He has in store
Does a good Father reveal to you His gift
Or does He package it up so He can lift
Your dreary eyes up from the ground
He held you this whole time so you wouldn’t drown
Who am I that you should listen to me
Just a humble person swatted down like a bee
Yesterday is not my future He said
He bore ALL my sins on that cross and bled
For me for you for anyone who would stop and listen
The love of Christ is upon your face and glistens
Let no one tell you that you are not a good Christian
They will deliver that punch right on your chin
But Christ told us to turn the other cheek
For this reason I didn’t make a squeak
But the time has come to stand back up and praise
For God alone has brought me out of this haze
To you I give this charge
Come back to God and get recharged

No Valentine Here

You said it would be forever
You said leave you would never
The sands of time exposed the truth
Wanted someone more famous like Babe Ruth
Chase after whatever you think will make you happy
Did you leave me because I was a fatty
Funny how people change and are quick to body shame
But reality is they really want more fame
Look at me look at me
That really is their plea
Look how I changed and now make you feel ashamed
It’s okay because I’m not the one to blame
Today I may not be your pick
In the end I can eat more than 3 bites and not get sick
I can finally laugh again and allow my smile to shine
Please excuse me while I go feed my swine
At least they are thankful for all that I do
No reason for me to feel blue
Why did you text me to say
Happy Valentine’s Day
Seems rather heartless
But I’ve moved on regardless
Treat me like a piece of trash
My sorrow left in a flash
Today may feel empty but tomorrow looks amazing
Until then I’ll keep on embracing
All that has given me strength to overcome
No longer feeling numb
Thank you God for loving me
Swallowing me up like the deep blue sea

No One Knows – Poem

Why do you watch me
To make sure I don’t turn and flee
Where would I run too
Who is really going to pull me through
Friends, have you seen them around
Especially when you are laying face down on the ground
Do they even know your story
Of how you fell from glory
Does anybody pay attention when it’s boring
How about when you are soaring
Tell me more, tell me more
Why did she walk out the front door
Oh you only want to hear
When it tickles your ear
What about when I was stuck in fear
Or when I lost my career
When did you draw near
Was it just to appear
Listen in to hear what you can
You never were my biggest fan
Just wore that number to show my support
Until you could run away to the airport
Looking to travel the world to the end
No matter how much money you needed to spend
Where does that leave us today
All the love has been washed away
Torn apart like a violent storm
What will be the new norm
All alone at night, it is silent
Ignoring every thought to be violent
Just one more day and see what tomorrow brings
I just pray it doesn’t sting
As much as yesterdays fling
Got me caught up in a sling
Waiting for the doctor to give the all clear
Waiting to hear my fans give me a cheer
You made it from yesterday to today
I really don’t have much to say
One more day has just slid away
Maybe something will change on your birthday
Not a chance there is nothing left
Taken away yet accused of theft
Crazy how you can enjoy something until it’s not useful
Sorry if I’m being too truthful
People don’t want to hear the truth
It hurts them deep like a cracked tooth
But if I remain silent like all the other sheep
Then the thief will come while we are all asleep
To take all that I have
Yup even more than halve
Like something was owed
But you broke the code
Said it will always be
Just you and me
Until you gave up
And chose to break up
Funny how no one knows
The reason or purpose you chose
To set off on foot
All covered in soot

Beaten Down – Poem

I walked in, did they see me
Can they tell I feel crappy
Does anyone look up
I’m so sorry, please don’t let me interrupt
I continue to walk, should I turn around
Can they see my heart bleeding on the ground
Which way to the door
I’m not sure I can do this any more
My strength used to carry me
Now the debris just buries me
Underneath all the rubble
Always feeling like I’m in trouble
I thought I broke free
Falling down to my knees
The weight of the world
All the stories left untold
The mind will hold you captive
Only interrupted by things we find attractive
Let go of all the negative
Stop being so sensitive
But if you cut me do I not bleed
Being choked out by all the weeds
I should have cleaned house long before
I always knew what was in store
But I needed to wait
To see what would be my fate
Praying & trusting for God to make a way
He always knew the words even when I couldn’t say
What I had trapped deep inside
The fateful day I lost my bride
Not once
Not twice
Not thrice
I have really paid the price
Some my fault I’ll give you that
But other times I was beaten with a bat
Left to wonder why me
How could this be
But now I have a story
And despite it ALL, I continue to give God the glory 🙏

You Broke Me – Poem

You said we would always be
You said you would never flee
Amazing how you were so carefree
And then you turned forty
So now what’s the story
Out in the world looking for all the glory
Maybe one day you will realize
That you took the wrong advice
Many women all around trying to bring you down
You let them see you frown
They helped turn your world upside down
Now who looks like a clown
Misery loves company
And then suddenly
You made a choice
You gave away your own voice
Opened up the doors to the enemy & let them in
Telling stories daily with your own spin
If you aren’t happy with yourself
Then you might as well put me back on the bookshelf
Nothing will ever bring you joy
Until you learn to destroy
All the memories of the past
Stuck in them like a die-cast
I tried to help you overcome
All the things that made you feel numb
But nothing I can do can ever set you free
No matter the fee
No matter the struggle
If you don’t want to snuggle
I dropped down my guard
I let you into my yard
Opened up my heart
Gave you a part
You took it and broke it apart
That wasn’t really smart
Shot me in the heart
With a poinsionous dart
You see the enemy uses poison
It allows him to moisten
The words to make them sound sweet
As he plans your defeat
I begged and begged to let me lead
In fact I even did pled
For you to follow me
So we could both be free
No one wants to live under control
That is what makes it feel like a hellhole
So where do we go from here
I guess that is the end my dear
Walked away like it never mattered
Broke my heart with a hammer you shattered
The little bit I had left inside
Yeah you made me cry
But I won’t let you see the pain
I’ll keep it locked up inside my veins
Until the right person comes along
Sings me a song
That rains down on the my soul
Who wants to make me whole
No one should ever be beaten down
But I had to backdown
Praying ever day for God’s will to be done
I watched as it all came undone 🙏

Drowning in an Ocean – Poem

Nobody has the time to see your pain
They just think you are insane
Why must you complain
Feelings can change just like a weather vane
Who cares what you are facing
Your feelings need replacing
Suck it up buttercup
Go get a checkup
Nobody really cares
I can see it in their stares
Mind rolling onto what is next
And yet can’t understand why I am perplexed
So you ask me how are you doing
While you sit & chew chew chewing
Up one side & down the other
I thought we were brothers
But what’s the point
We’re about to reach flashpoint
Things just build up & up
Until the steam starts to blowup
Do you hear the whistle a steaming
While your heart stays asleep dreaming
Why can’t you write a happy phrase
Because my feelings have been set ablaze
How can anyone who loves you
Push you kick you & say they are through
How could anyone be so heartless
That is why I lock up my heart with a fortress
Nobody gets into the gates
Stop pointing out my weight
You have no clue the struggles I hold
Many of these thoughts are untold
So I sit & stew
Continuing to tell myself not yet I’m not through
One more day we can do this
Even when life has been hit or miss
Maybe tomorrow I will find
The reason that I have been blind
To all of these emotions
Drowning me like an ocean

Draw Me Back – Poem

How many times must we fall
To hear Jesus’ call
Deep cries out to deep
But God that mountain is too steep
There must be another way
Lord I don’t know what to say
My eyes cry out in pain
Has my life been in vain
I really tried my best
But lately I have failed just like the rest
Am I even worthy to call upon Your name
Or have I only brought about shame
You see the devil is liar
He tried to throw me into a fire 🔥
He wanted to watch me burn from my own desires
But God I’m not a crier
What are these tears that fall down my face
God take me away from this place
My heart hurts so much
I long for Your touch
Bring me back under Your wing
I cry every time I sing
I call out upon Your name over & over
My luck died just like a 4 leaf clover 🍀
God if there is more that You need me to do
I know You will pull me through
I humbly ask for Your presence
To rest upon me, anoint me with Your essence
God You have saved me before
Each & every time I walked out that door
Draw me back to You
Help us all to know Your truth

Who Are You – Poem

Who are you today
What did Jesus say
You are a child of the one true King
Did you hear that ring
You were bought with a price
Oh man that sure sounds nice
You were set apart
Many forget that part
You have been changed
Some might find that strange
They want to tell you about your past
But Jesus died to bring you passed
The sin that you were stuck in
God handed you the win
The ability to find new life
And put aside all of the strife
But will you stop to embrace
Stop running around in this social media race
You are no longer a disgrace
God washed you & gave you His grace
Stop pointing fingers at everyone else
What if people could see your sins like welts
Can’t hind behind the pain
The word of God hits like a train
Just open up the good book
It’s time you took another look
Many parts that you never noticed
I know this time you will be more focused
Put aside all the distractions
Jesus is the main attraction
If you won’t do anything that I ask
Please just take off the mask
Be real with yourself
It’s time to examine one’s self
And see there is much to be done
So let’s no longer run
Unless it’s into His arms
Let God silence all the alarms
Open your heart
it is time for you to do your part
