Make It Stop!


'No more!'
'Make it stop!', I screamed,
to no one in particular
but any who would
dare to hear
and catch the flow
of tears in stream...

'Please, God...
take this cup from me!'

'Release me from
it's ceaseless grip,
and grant me
slumber sweet,
I beg of thee'

'Mercy!'
This my only plea
In desperation,
bent at knee,
I thus implore
the Mighty One,
'Lord, hear my plea...'

'And make it stop!'


~vlraynes

Follow Serenity's advice closely because she said it all the right way....

Vicky, I understand this  very well!!  
I do know from experience that even though it feels
like it's going to last forever and never get
better...it will slow down eventually. There may
be a dead feeling there for a while, but that, too, will
get better. It's very good that you are pouring
your heart out to God....and to your friends here at PIP.
Everyone is here to help you, sweet Vicky.
Best of luck, friend.  

Heart Hugs

Now why can't I write like this?
Even the sun has an eclipse now and then...

Oh my dear sweet friend. I hate to see you in so much pain. If I were there I would give you a much needed massage. Everyone is leading you on the right track. So do as they say. It is wonderful to know that you have made such sweet caring friends over the years.

Hugs, DozenRozes4UV

Ouch, I can feel this through the air waves and it's not pretty. Vicki, keep crying out and God will hear your pleas.

I wish I could help, but know I'll pray for you.

Hugs, Marti

Sending prayers for your inner peace and happiness,

This tear of mine
I pray it reaches
the depths of the broken one
From afar I have only this
to offer for the damage done
Silently I seethe
while I bid you yet to breathe
Who was he
that he broke in
with a key
I'd wound his pride
I'd intercept his departure
Somehow I'd make him know
But he who would play
with a heart as true
is not worth the time to show
You say he didn't mean to
I try hard to believe you
For I know it's hard to hate
the one you love
But when Love has left you
so broken
and no Love is left as token
I know you begin to wonder
Who lies above
Who is there to hear the prayer
Who is there Who didn't answer
Who is there to take away the fear
I know He's got a plan for you
I hope you still believe it's true
I hope you listen close so you will hear
But in the meantime
I'll hold you near my heart
and cry with you
Your love will find a place to dwell
one day
Love will love you too...

I'm still angry...I don't know how much sense my poet makes right now...but I just wanted to tell you I love you my friend..and I'm sorry you hurt...A good friend of ours once told me "pray for trials.." (Mr Starbird)..Your time of happiness is on the way..Its your turn..Listen close..Keep your eyes open..Don't let shadows keep you down..You are strong..whether you realize it or not..believe me it's true...

be well..

PS..Have you heard that song "Bring on the Rain" by JoDee Messina? Take a listen...You are strong...

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Vicky, I have felt this exact way as a boy before, I was abused as a child because of my differences and had nightmares and seizures almost every night and finally I screamed "Make it stop, make it stop, oh, someone please MAKE IT STOP!" (sad sigh) It seemed to come after me again and again and again and again and again and again and again... (wipes tears) Then when I wanted to end my life and jump off Rifle Falls, I felt Him push me back and somehow I think He heard my desperation and kept me from having the nerve to fall and so I turned to Him because that driveback felt so powerful and convinced me He lives! (wipes tears) God Bless You, sweet friend, I send many angel hugs your way, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Vicky, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
