The only problem with living out loud is anyone can hear you: some listen; some judge; but most look the other way.

WARNING: an open heart
When I write, I feel. I write “because” I feel, and right now, I’m not feeling so hot, and I know, for me, how God comforts me as I write, so I’m going to lay it all out.

“False Hope”
I hate it when
dreams seem real
and they’re good
then I wake to reality
and they’re gone
I can’t explain the tears
and won’t stop them
when will that dream come true?
never
a different version will be real
someday
but for now

doesn’t really matter
the only power it has
is what I give it
the past is a weapon
mixed with Jesus

some things they remember

God has a way of restoring all
“Missing Carafe”

“Puppet Show”
I no longer wonder
why a child’s abused
I’m no longer baffled
why shootings occur
it’s because the ones causing pain
hear Satan
louder than God
they’ve become puppets on stings
controlled by hell
to perform a show of darkness
“Genes that don’t Fit”
young kids
barely begun life
yet have “lived” a life
worth forgetting Continue reading
