drip, drip dripping from the faucet I hear
whenever you are near
this is about the time you knock me down
but you that I’m not having it
go ahead go ahead
throw your balls of fire
let your flames ignite me
I am more powerful than you
This is about the time youbring me down
Knock me down to the ground
But you know that I am not having it
I’ll let you just try to make me do something wrong
But just know that God is my back up plan
So when you make the faucet drip
Why don’t you make your sorrow trip
Just because you have never been loved
If you ask God will love you too
Just because you live in fire
Doesn’t mean you should not find love
Release your hostages
Release you loneliness
Release me from your grip
This is about the time that you knock me down
But you forget thatI’m not having it.

Definately you have a giving heart, and much strength that lies within also.  Powerful write Kellie.

Madame Chipmunk- Thank You. this poem is full of untold mystery. For me it goes a lot deeper than the eye can see. It has deep emotion and a cloud hoving from beyond. Its a lonely point of view that
Satan is trying to knock me down but God keeps picking me up and keeping him from knocking me down.

Gentle Spirit- As I said to Madame Chipmunk Thank You and the explanation is the same. I rfeally got sick of being knocked down.  I am just letting everyone know that I really  am not having it.

Goodknight- Thank You. All of you have been so nice to me. I just wish more people would read all my poetry and respond I am about to publish a book and I need lots of feedback. Thank you.
