what now

Wednesday, June 21, 2017




what happens
when there's nothing
left
of myself to give
but they're alone
so alone
i can hear them calling
calling out
what if i can't 
answer their call
because no one 
ever answered it for me
but their arms
they're reaching out
trying to hold on
just hold on
what if i can't
hold on to them
much longer
because i'm so weak
so tired
but they're falling
falling
i can hear their cries
their sobs
what if i'm falling 
right along side them
what if i too
am choking on my tears
but
what now
we ask
what now



(bc. you're not responsible for others, all you can do is love them with the love Christ Jesus has given you. and other's aren't responsible for you, sometimes you have to learn to fall and get back up)


the emptiness that haunts me

Friday, February 17, 2017


i don't write
for i have no words
my pen is dry
and my wrist aches
yet still my page is
empty
      empty
            empty
these words
scream
pound
fight
to get out
but still
there's nothing
empty
      empty
            empty
so what can i do
but stare
drowning in my thoughts
unable to release them
unable to breath
without them
empty
      empty
            empty
these words haunt me
suffocate me
consume me
until i'm no more
than the emptiness
that forever follows me
empty 
      empty
            empty
has this become
the song of my heart
or
do i just have to wait
a little bit longer
for my words
to appear
once more




drowning

Friday, January 20, 2017


i sink
deeper
deeper
deeper
until the sun
no longer reaches me

i struggle
harder
harder
harder
but i fall
with no control

so my hand reaches
up
up
up
and i'm pulled
out of the darkness

because of his
love
love
love
i am no longer
drowning
