I am building my religion Giving to hold up these perfect walls It’s my way or you can save yourself Won’t you follow the leader? Because you have no say anyways We’ll talk to your face And laugh behind your back We’ll make your life our center Spreading this sickness poison Through your holy veins Until you question your faith I will lead you astray Make you say things you will regret This is the Church Don’t except not to get hurt I will play by the rules Until I am alone So here is my heart I lay it down by your side You can do with it what you please Just let me get a piece Don’t you ever get to know me? Because then you won’t believe Shouldn’t we let God in here?

He fades like the sunny skies As the storm rolls in from the west There goes his head off its axis. You can take all of your power That you hold dear to your head You can take all of your money That is tethered to your heart. He cracks like a pillar of salt From staring off into the greed A warning sign that meant nothing inside With ease he looked behind He is slipping like the words off of his tongue Dirty little secrets he covers up Every day is a brand new lie So easy to stumble So quick to deify He has been falling His sins have been taking over But the pain inside causes the tears Yet He still won’t let it all go.

I have these thoughts of us when the sun is shining, When we would talk about our never ending love. I remember dreaming with you about growing old, When we would bicker like an old married couple. I remember standing out in the cold, While my broken heart fought with the air, Because no matter how loud I yelled, You were no longer there. I remember losing fights in my mind, Where my heart would continue to lie, Because no matter how hard I tired, The love didn’t survive. I remember crawling on my face, While my lungs were filled with tears, Because no matter how I looked at it, I was drowning in my worst fears. So I remember caring for you when you were scared, I remember encouraging you when you lost hope, But it hurts to know that all that time, We shared was just someone Else's joke.

If we look out into the sunset we can still get a glimpse of God’s beautiful creation, and to be honest it is so beautiful. The truth is during the day we witness, read, or tell about some horrible thing that has gone on in this world. I do wish we didn’t have to live like this, like in constant fear of something terrifying happening to someone in our family or ourselves. I never thought I would want to raise a child in a world like this in fact I have rejected it so often. We can’t for sure say what the world will be like in ten, twenty years from now, that is scary! There is no way to explain it beside sin has run wild on this world and there are only a few out of a handful that are fighting it. I can’t even trust believers of Christ because they also have accepted sin in their lives, and no I am not included in this because I hate the sin in my life and I will never stop fighting it. But there are some people out there that just wear it like a crown. Sadly, it is most men fr...

       These are the days we can say that we fought through the storm of chaos that clouds the beauty that is front of us. Even though we stuck with our guns and we hurt from the pain, God was there along the way. This is our time to shine, so stand up and don’t stop dancing, don’t stop singing or working, fighting, don’t stop laughing and crying out to Jesus because we can do anything with the son of God at our sides. It is easy to say that I give up, and then walk away from everything, but that should never be our thought, it should never be an opinion. If we just lift up our heads we can carry through, we can climb the wall, and we can say we made it to the finish line. It will take time and blood, sweat and tears but we can make it to the other side giving God everything that we have inside of our hearts. The days will come where everything in our lives will finally fall into place. I feel that things are finally falling into place for my life, and ...

I took everything that was given Smashing and stumbling through the hard times But I am breaking through this sadness And I am leaving it all behind me. My heart has been through the gutter, It has been dragged through the muck, And stomped on by the heartless. When the day hits me like thunder Even when the waves crush me, And they suck me under like a tornado. I am still bracing myself for the fall. Because I know there will be days, Where I just won’t be able to get up. So won’t you be there for me, Helping me up off the gravel? And when you crumble to the ground, I will be there waiting lifting when you have fallen down. I took a look at the midnight sky and there was very little light, But the one star that shines in my life. We will struggle to learn our lessons, And we will burn for all our mistakes, But joy will come like a smack in the face, So don’t you lose your faith,  Because this love will never go away.
