Darkest Place April 24, 2012

My heart dropped into my stomach
into the pit of my stomach
I felt rejected
“nothing new,”
I reminded myself.

I sat
weeping
replayed the events over in my mind
pondering
why was my reaction so sorrow ridden.

Still
I surrendered to the quiet
spoke with God
still
I pled for answers to the unknowns.

Know Me August 21, 2011

My words,
Not meant to entertain;
My life is not a game.

These are real emotions,
Real questions,
Real, honest pain.

 You think you know me,
Just as well,
I’m not writing for the fame.

 Allow me to ask you this,
My love,
What is my full name?

 On this pillow,
Every night,
My tears leave worried stains.

 Swept up by lust,
I lost myself,
Now you see my shame.

 A lonely girl,
With chaotic thoughts,
You may question if I’m sane.

 But,
Won’t you find it in your heart
To love me all the same.
