You sacrifice for others

You can give everything to a person

And they don’t give anything

For when you start wondering

How much space you occupy in someone’s heart

Give them space

And see how long it take a for them to fill it....

When the world declares war on you

And your thoughts rebell on yourself

nobody is there to defend you

I will fight for you, when you won’t fight for yourself

It hurts me when you hurt, Not because you did anything wrong

I will struggle with you, so you won’t have to alone.

I’ll come to you to help take on some of your pain

But I know full well that it won’t make it go away

You dont hurt me

I...

We long for those magical moments, where God's love fills you

That warm wonderful feeling, where you can feel him in the room

Like when we're worshiping together, with my brothers and sisters in Christ

When his joy fills us all, and everything's just right

He is with me

But what about the opposite? When I'm alone and at the bottom

When colors feel muted, everything goes numb, and I feel forgotte...

In the world of dreams and wonder,

Where innocence and love collide,

There lies a treasure, oh so tender,

The words we speak, a gentle guide.

"I love you," we whisper, soft and true,

With arms outstretched, we hold them tight,

Through every joy and challenge they go through,

Our love will guide them, day and night.

"You're special," we say, with gleaming eyes,

For each child holds a unique light...

*Christian themes*

If I were to talk about something meaningful

Would I say: hearing the words “I love you,” or something similar?

Those words used to lift me up,

But now they only hurt me.

So what of the strange and miscellaneous information

Stored in my headspace shall I choose?

Because now that I need to pick from my thoughts,

The relevant ones flee, all but one.

“God, save me from your...

In the dawn of your days when the world was a game,

I asked you to tidy, to clean, and to tame

The chaos of youth, the untamed room's sprawl,

To learn from the rise after every small fall.

"Yes, ma'am" and "Yes, sir," the words that you'd say,

Not knowing their weight or the price they'd repay.

A chore here, a task there, a small daily grind,

Seeds sown in the soil of the young, growing mind.

Yo...

I’ve been told by a

toothless man that 1+1 is 4.

He later asked if I could

I could spot him on a “itty bitty quarter.”

I’ve been given food for thought

by men who couldn’t afford food.

They told me to work very hard,

“Cause look at all the hell we bought.”

I’ve been told there’s lizard folk

within the Oval Office.

But that was at a pet food store,

while I was looking at iguanas.

I’ve h...

It wasn’t your fault they left,

It wasn’t your fault they cried,

It wasn’t your fault they hurt you,

It wasn’t your fault they did that.

It will never be your fault that they said that,

It will never be your fault that you didn’t see it

And it will never be your fault that they did it,

They made a choice and it’s not your fault.

It isn’t your fault that you cried for weeks,

It isn’t your fault t...

Uncomfortable

times are the furnace fires

that mold beating hearts...

Listen carefully

Let them have their time to speak

Do not interrupt
