In this place
I'm so unsure of myself
Is it clouds outside or rain

I need to be free
Of blank and confusing stares
Make my voice clearly heard
And sit in the palm of His hand

I myself I get in the way
My words are not always true
Broken flesh surely bleeds

I'm pushing past people
And things in my way
I need to hear from You God
I need to hear you audibly say
A word from your mouth to me
And deliver up more clarity
To chase my Hell away

There is something about the dark
Taunting me


just to be happy...

Nice work GIS.  I liked the honesty in this piece.  Just remember that you'll always have demons to fight, but with God and St. Micheal the Arc Angel, you'll always prosper against them.  Now I know you must hear this a lot, and you must have gotten tired of it, but the truth is... you have to pray.  Trust me it works.  Hope that helps.

Peace. Love. Forgiveness.
  Blessings and Guidance

I am reminded of something the late, great Rich Mullins said..."I love temptation...I mean I know it says 'lead us not into temptation,' but I'm more like, 'God, lead me just far enough to get a taste, but then pull me out of it.' ". I understand the taunting, and yet I know you are an old soul, friend, with whom the experiences are very purposeful.

A very good write from you, especially due to your brutal honesty in where you are (which was phenominally done).

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere
