It’s Courage

Courage,

It keeps me going when times are hard,

It's something no one can take away from me,

For courage is what I need the most,

When there's no where to go,

Courage is what steps up,

And I hold my head up high,

Up high knowing I have courage,

When everything else seems to fall apart,

Courage is always there for me,

People will be mean but it won't matter,

To me as long as I have courage,

I will stand up tall and speak up,

Knowing I have courage,

Nothing can stop me when I have courage,

Because I'll be walking down the street,

With my head help high, and my voice will ring out,

Out against all other voices,

My voice will go down to the bottom of their hearts,

And letting them know that they can,

Can do anything as long as they have courage.

Lovestruck

Love is running rampant in the streets

Cupid is running out of arrows

People's hearts are forever changed

Can you feel the love in the air tonight?

Let us forget about the silly, stupid things

That drives us insane,

And stick together forever,

There's a fire in my heart

That can't be extinguished

I'll always love you

Until the end of time

Love is running rampant in the streets

And I'm being washed away by this tidal wave of love

I'm not your knight in shining armor

But I can be your true love

My heart has been stuck by Cupid's arrow

I've become lovestruck baby

Grab my hand and you'll see

How crazy I am about you!

Challenge
Lets shed some reality on mental illness. It's not cute, it's not a joke and it's not an excuse: Write about a panic or anxiety attack. I'd love to see poetry, short stories and glimpses into who you are.

Breathe

Can't breathe,

Walls are suddenly closing in on me

My vision is blurred and I'm losing my focus

'Help me I'm suffocating!' I cry out,

But no one can hear me

They're just staring at me

My heart is bursting out of my chest

Bum-bump-bum-bump....

I'm about to faint,

I can't breathe in this enclosed space,

My body feels like it's burning hot

Am I slowly dying?

Then I hear a voice say 'Just breathe

Let it out slowly.'

I listen to the voice and I let out a deep breath

And after a while my vision returns

And my heart beats slows down

The earth stops spinning from underneath me

Now I can breathe.

Torn Apart

When I hear their battle cries of sudden death,

Death seems to be knocking at my front door 

My front door budges and then burst open into pieces 

Into pieces my dignity goes whenever I come near their swords

Their swords cut through my heart and my entire being 

My entire being shakes in the looming darkness 

Darkness is all I can see today

Today was the first day of the never ending wars 

Wars erupt all around me and I'm becoming petrified 

Petrified by their constant battling over what once was a squabble 

What once was a squabble turned into World War III 

Into World War III that has lasted over six years 

Six years way too long for the brothers to be fighting 

To be fighting that has turned family members against each other,

Against each other so as the fighting continues, one by one

One by one they shall fall into the same turmoil as they are in

They are in a state of darkness with no where to go 

No where to go and no one to turn too,

No one to turn too, so whose at fault here,

Here on the battle ground death seems to be lurking 

Lurking around these helpless souls who are fighting for no cause

No cause to fight but they can't remember why they're fighting 

Fighting against each other, this War has been going on far too long

Too long have I sat back and watched this family be torn apart 

Torn apart from their moral mindset 

Their moral mindset has been changed by too many mistakes 

Mistakes that could have been avoided but they had to start a squabble 

A squabble that turned into a never ending war.

I Could Hardly Imagine

I could hardly imagine 

When you put your life on the line

Just to save mine

You are so divine,

When You died on that cross

And rose on the third day

We were all at loss

For the words You prayed,

All shall bow down

When You come again

You'll have the crown

And You shall reign,

You were sent to set us free

From the lies of this Earth

You did plea

So we could be rebirth 

How holy is Your name

I could hardly imagine 

The daughter I have become 

For I am Your bloodline,

You saved me from this pain

And took me into Your arms 

And broke the chains

Of the world's harm,

When You came for me

I could hardly imagine 

What my life might be 

When You put Your life on the line,

My life would be filled with praise

When I show the world I'm Yours

From the dark abyss I will raise

From these never ending wars,

Who could hardly imagine 

The reasons why You chose

To help me waken

From the depths of the shadows,

I'm ready to meet You

At the gates of Your home

I've lived all the way through 

From this life I've roamed,

You chose a fool,

A silly old fool,

From these jaws,

Because I was filled with flaws.

I’m Striving To Be A Better Me

I'm striving to be a better me,

Because what I once was

Has only dragged me down 

And prevented me from achieving 

What I am aiming to accomplish,

I'm striving to be a better me,

Because I linger on what once was

Instead of seeing what is,

What is more important to live in

Then living in the darkness of the past

I struggle to see what the future holds for me 

Because I'm stuck on the past

But I'm striving to be a better me,

And become someone worth living for,

I no longer want to dwell on what once was,

And I'll start seeking out the truth in the present,

Because I'm striving to be a better me.

Demons, They’re Out There

Demons, they're out there,

Waiting to strike out in the dark,

When I lay in my bed, I can sense them,

Their voices make their way into my already troubled mind,

Their thoughts become my thoughts,

Making me wonder,

Does anyone else hear them?

Darkness consumes my mind,

I'm falling into a deep abyss,

Where there's no escape,

My dreams become nightmares,

My eyes are blurred with these tears of defeat,

Demons, they're out there,

Can't you sense them?

They love to pull at my heart,

They're tearing it apart,

Their voices screaming into my ear,

Making me doubt myself,

I fear the never ending darkness,

When darkness comes, it brings along something else,

Something that is waiting to strike out in the moonlight.

Demons, they are out there,

Waiting to strike in the dark,

I can sense them,

So why can't you,

I've screamed for you to help me,

But you just looked away,

You let them snatch me away in the dark.

Do you not care anymore,

Where is the light when all goes dark,

I'm suffocating on my fear of them,

Demons, they are out there,

They've gotten a hold of me now,

Whenever I lay in bed, they are with me,

They are out there, waiting to strike at those who oppose.

Demons, they're out there,

Be on guard for them,

For when the sun goes down,

It's time for the demons to play,

To come out and strike,

Strike out in the never ending darkness,

Demons, they're out there.....

Time Passes By

Time passes by

Hour by hour

Minute by minute

But for me, I'm frozen in time

There's no words that could describe

The hurt I've been feeling,

Wanting you to notice

That this pain comes when you turn away

Time passes by

But for me, I'm frozen in time

Waiting for the light to shine through this darkness,

Where are you

When all seems lost and in dismayed

Won't you help me?

I'm losing hope in humanity

Blood has been spilled

Bodies pile up

From these never ending wars,

Time passes by

But for me, I'm frozen in time

Watching as the world goes by

And I slowly fade away

In sickness or in health

Till death do us part

We'll always have each other

But I'm frozen in time

As you move forward with your life

While I struggle to find my way out

Out of this hell hole,

Won't you rescue this fading soul

Or will you let me fade away forever

Until I'm nothing but bones,

Time passes by

But for me, I'm frozen in time.

While I struggle to find my way out

Out of this hell hole,

Won't you rescue this fading soul

Or will you let me fade away

Until I'm nothing but bones,

Time passes by

But for me, I'm frozen in time.

I’m No Screwup

As summer comes to an end

Autumn draws nearer and nearer

I wake up today with breath in my body

My heart beats it's beat in my chest,

And I lift my head towards the open blue sky

I cry out to God praising His name

Thanking Him for allowing me live another day

But I bow my head low

Knowing that I've screwed up and I'm filled with many flaws

He looked down and said to me 'My child, your sins have been forgiven

Take this hand of mine and I shall lift you above this abyss

Of despair and hopelessness.

I'll never forsake you or leave your side.

So have hope and don't fall into despair.'

As the days go by

From summer to fall

Fall to winter

Where the days grow colder and longer

And the earth is covered in white

I'll wake up each day

With breath in my body

And a beating heart

I've screwed up too many times to count

But I am not a failure or a mistake

I am a child of God and He calls me His own.
