If I Could Write a Letter to Me...

If I could write a letter to me...

To help myself become who I want to be.

I would begin by saying...

Let go of pain, to keep your heart from weighing.

Allow your tears...

To chase away all of your fears.

Take that painful step to trust...

Talk so your heart won't bust.

As you grow older...

File your past into a folder.

Don't forget who you are...

Follow Christ, whether near or far.

You will fall on your face...

Just get back up and dust yourself in grace.

You will wanna cry...

But don't ever decide not to try.

You will love and hate...

But don't forget that to forgive, it is never too late.

You will flail in the sea of pain...

Don't forget, this is all part of God's plan.

If I could write a letter to me...

I would open your eyes so you could see.

You are caring and kind...

So throw those dirty thoughts out of your mind.

You are worth dying for...

So don't use that excuse anymore.

You are on the road to healing...

Open your heart to all of your feelings.

Don't allow yourself to become numb...

If you do, then you are on the road to become a bum.

Work for everything you have...

Clean your wounded heart with God's loving salve.

Don't worry that you won't fall in love...

Cause God is still grooming the one from above.

Go ahead and cry...

Please, don't be afraid to try.

If I could write a letter to me...

I know I could make you see.

Hold my hand...

Let's trudge through that hot desert sand.

Don't forget I love you...

Remember, I will always be true.

This is a letter from me...

You will be better than you ever dreamed to be.

This is what I would say...

So you could read it every day.

If I could write a letter to me...

This... is what you would see...

Tough Enough

Tough Enough...

I try to hard to be tough...

but I am not strong enough.

When I am alone and lost, I turn to pain...

But living this way will turn me insane.

I am less then perfect...

I am alone... lost... imperfect.

I worry that no man will want me...

No man will want me after I have let them see.

I thought I was tough...

But now, I realize I am not strong enough.

I wish it wasn't so hard to trust...

My heart hurts so bad, I am afraid it might bust.

I am scared...

But with You, I can do things that I wouldn't have even dared.

I need You to save me...

To open my heart to truth... and open my eyes to see...

That I am smart, beautiful...

respectful, lovable... dutiful.

Show me that without You, I am not tough enough...

I am not strong enough.

Hold me close... don't let me go...

Stand by me while I face my foe...

I need Your hand...

Guide me so I don't get lost in this desert sand.

I am not tough enough...

I just am not strong enough...

Without You...

I just am not... tough enough...

I am still trying to figure out how to trust... This poem is from my heart. I cried out to God, and He answered me with a poem... I am praying for you all! Thank you for taking time to read my blog. It means so much to me. Blessings, and many thanks to you all!! <3

4 U

Here is a poem I wrote a while back... I really like it. It is a love poem. It is not dedicated to anyone... yet.

4 U

Your eyes

meet mine.

My heart is

pounding.

My breath

cuts short.

I am drowning,

Drowning in the depths

of your eyes.

My head is

in the clouds.

I am crazy...

I know.

I forget where I am.

Who I am.

I do things I

never have done.

What am I feeling?

I am so relieved

you don't have super

keen hearing.

Otherwise you'd be

hearing my poor ol'

heart pound.

I know I have failed

at acting casual.

But it seems impossible,

to be casual when I am

with you.

I feel so light.

So.. alive...

Maybe I should keep this

to myself...

But I am not sure.

What's a girl to do?

I am just wasting my time

writing this 4 U!

I wrote this in February. I like it... it is actually my first love poem.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Bye!
