My walls scream DECEPTION.

God says SURRENDER.

Void of REFLECTION.

The mind is the Spirit's worst CONTENDER.

I am Only a Shell

I am only a shell. Created for purpose, but to no avail. My voice remains quiet while my Spirit yells. Help, me before I fail.

All this time, I thought I heard my own heart beat. But I’ve discovered it was only my Spirit trying to break free. Get these demons off of me. I cannot accept defeat.

I remember hearing the Spirit from age of innocence. My shell of a mind couldn’t make sense of it. So I filled up my mind with thoughts too dense. And used emptiness as my defense.

God had another plan for my life. Full of the gifts (which encompass strife). Prayer isn’t enough; it will not suffice. Not for understanding of an abundant life.

I am only flesh. This world will surely lead me to death. And my Spirit dies too if I don’t pass this test. Like energy, I cannot stay at rest.

All this time, I’ve been in the dark. Spirit lurking, hungry as a shark. God says, “Take your Spirit out of park…” Time for me to make my mark.

Can’t blend worldly and spiritual together. I choose Life; I like it better. But I have die to get there; I’m down for whatever. Ties to earth, I must sever.

I thought I knew myself well. But my voice remains quiet while my Spirit yells. Lord, help me before I fail. I am only a shell.

Love Like Shoe Laces...

I never knew love could be so perfectly tangled, like shoe laces...

The 1

I remember asking someone

How did she know when she met “the one”

With no drawn out stories relative to none

She replied, “I knew it before it was done”

I contemplated

Raised my head, yet hesitated

For the look on her face was validated

Love had her elated

Love comes from the love of the Father

If that’s misunderstood, why bother?

This type of love pushes us farther

Makes us love deeper and harder

I didn’t know until I got it

I didn’t have to mimic it and wasn’t taught it

Wasn’t thrown out and I bought it

Simply said, I just got it

So I guess the saying goes

When you know, you know

Can’t wait to watch it continue to grow

And I never wanna let it go…

Momentary Confinement

Anxiety creeping

Conscious seeping

Internal weeping

I put myself aside

Heart is racing

Breath escaping

Thoughts worth debasing

Mind runs and hides

Heart on sleeves

Trembling of the knees

100 degrees

There’s no more air

Fear surrounded

Life compounded

Reflect astounded

That I am there

Chill Out...
