The Weight

rain falls from the blackness in the sky,
the water soaks the earth.
here we stay a float,
but slowly we are drowning.
the mud grabs us by the ankles,
pulling us into the ground.
everyday is a struggle to move.

With all of these days,
we carry out this weight,
walking closer to the pavement.
we tippy toe across the marsh,
crashing faster each time.
crushed to our knees,
our hearts slow to a beat.

we question our strength,
savoring every last drop,
like the very last scotch.
and at the end of the day,
when the moon covers the view.
your soft hand pressures,
then squeeze’s these muscles
and slowly cracks the bones,
you push down upon me,
I pray you don’t break me.

With all the pain and agony,
we continue to push forward,
but we question our lives,
always struggling to stand up straight.
fearing our inevitable fate.
carrying this horrible weight.

Note; In all honesty this is about the world and the struggle to live, have faith in God, but the weight some times comes down on us, but we must prevail. This is more of a wake up call to me, so that is why I wrote it. I am feeling weighed down, but I need to push forward.

The End Times?

You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. (Matthew 24:6-8; Mark 13:7-8 NIV).Mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God -- having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with them. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 NIV). But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare. (2 Peter 3:10 NIV). An...

Even On My Worst Days

My eyes are opened wide, And the world is falling to pieces, I feel like sealing my heart completely. The tears still drop towards the ceiling. I wish I could see your beautiful creation again, But everything is still upside down. It’s another fight and one more day on the ground. I can pray for heaven to come raining, But here on earth I am drowning. I can say all the right things, But be misheard by everyone. As I am being pushed out to sea, You’re still out there searching for me. The love you have always strengthens me. And so I step on some toes on my path, And I struggle to trust the people around me, So, I may be losing myself as well, But I know I can never lose your grace. My faith could never change, Even on my worst days.

Give It Up For You

Here I am caught in this dance, Spinning until I finally get my chance. I’ll put one foot forward, I’ll put one foot back, But until we move together, We will continue to lose each other. So here is my hand, I’ll open myself up wide, So you can forever live inside. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it out, So here is my soul I’ll let it go. So here is my life I give it up for you. Here I am to finally lose myself, I know you could truly help. I’ll leave my burdens at the door, I’ll leave my trash at the altar, And I will live this life, The way you taught me. So In my final steps, Maybe our footing wasn’t perfect, Maybe our wording wasn’t all clean, But in the end you were forever here to love me. Here I am searching for you. So here is my heart I pour it all out, So here is my soul I’ll finally let it go. So here is my life I’ll forever give it up for you.
