Battle Cry

I have seen the signs, read them once before
conformed my ways, silenced the lightning storm
did everything through You..
to get a sign of maybe, just maybe you saw it too
but life's a waging war
you would have thought I would have learned before
I moved the earth and moon through You
actions unjustly praised and now I can hear the rain
coming do You?
It drowns the screams I hear at night
of people's hidden lives
covered from the world they try
to save what they trust most to hide
they only want to show You their inner thoughts
but society beats our spirit..even though we fought
life is not as pretty to You?
you hide, you cry, your silenced life is all you've known
until I knew you
I found my strength, my iron sword
and I will carry It into battle for you my Lord
You who silenced those fears and cleased my heart
for this I will lead this uprising march
my ears can breathe
no longer plugged by torturous screams
and the world can rest because of what You do
my victory is through You and now my world is not what I knew
but something grand and brand new...

Ok so this one shows a lot of symbolism along with use of Capitilization along with different points of view. I really like this post so yall comment and Slim Says tell me what ya think! :)

Memories Stained in Sepia

What is a wedding? A routine ceremony made for two people?
A day to come together as one expressing love in front of family and friends?
An everlasting bond that not even death could end
dresses, flowers, smiles, tears, music, and rings; all materialistic seemingly useless things
the gleam in your eye that promises forever
words under God that no act can sever
the beginning of forever, till death do us part
flashback of memories, the day we made our start
a timeline of a lifetime shown in a day
watery eyes, quivering hands, simple words that suddenly become hard to say
memories made in sepia can never be remade
the ceremonys over but your love remains

To my wonderful Cousin Brad this is for you and your upcoming new chapter in your life. I hope this is all you have dreamed of and more. To the bride and groom my inner thoughts :)

Survivor

Slim says: it's time to pray for my aunt because she has cancer. To honor her and to lift her spirits I wrote this for her, tell me what ya think!!

 

Fearless, determined, resolute
a strong-willed facade hides a scared heart
Two beautiful, watery eyes that could tear you apart
A beautiful, everlasting face that nothing could wipe away
A hand to hold, a soul to save
...Trembling hands and halted breaths
Life changing news
Through pain, tears, and relentless nights
You stood firm in the face of this endless fight
I praise you and uphold you in the most glorious light
You who did what I couldn't who pushed through with all of your might
I love you more than you could ever know
an unwaivering passion that will continue to grow
And as each day passes and our story unfolds
We will smile together our lives to behold

Hard Times keep coming

Ok so this is not quite finished yet, but it is a start. This poem shows a lot of the anxiety and worrys  I have been feeling lately. With grades and other stresses in my life I need writing to express myself, So tell me what ya think :)

A sigh of relief

The look of defeat

One more thing brings you down

You scream at the top of your voice, but it is as if you didn’t make a sound

You push and push until you feel like you have reached the end

Just to discover the end is never really the end

Hopeless thoughts and wishful dreams

Placid faces and silenced screams

To stop is to surrender to nothing

But to win is to lose everything

I try to reach out, but there is no one there to grab my hand

I crumble. I fall, unable to stand

Tears streak down my face, but in vain

Cause tears can only wash away your face but not your pain

I look somewhere deeper in myself to find my strength

Scared of being drowned in my grief
