My Prayer for You
Jessica K 10-07-02

 

I sit here and feel, helpless inside, watching another loved one, slowly dying inside,

Unaware of the effects, of the white rocks that posses, and eat up your soul, just like the rest,

The rest of the people, that I held so dear, and I had to watch helpless, while my eyes filled with tears,

Watch them give in, time after time, watch them slowly changing, from those little white lines,

I sit here and wonder, why god, why, why must I watch, another friend tell lies,

To try to conceal, the addiction that feeds, on their pure loving soul, just like a disease,

It will turn them into someone, I won’t recognize, please god, please, please hear my cries,

I plead from my soul, with each tear that falls, please take the urge away from them, silence meths voice that calls,

Calls to them darkly, it’s hard to ignore, but why in the hell, can’t they say no any more?

I am so frustrated; there is nothing I can do, to make them understand, that what I am saying is true,

I have seen it too much, I have seen it annihilate, I’ve seen it take a loving heart, and turn it to hate,

I have felt the addiction, my own lips uttered the lies, to try to cover up, my hearts urgent cries,

Knowing that it will change you, it’s killing me inside, I pray for you this morning, I feel a changing in the tide,

The Lord is watching over you, pulling at your soul, his voice is urging you to stop, listen, and let him take control,

Do not ignore him, he is guiding you today, his voice won’t be silenced, as I continue to pray,

Kill the demon inside, that posseses my friend; make him know I will help him, until the very end,

There is a battle that rages, inside his soul, it’s between good and evil, let the light take control,

I call on an angel, to watch over you, no matter what your decisions, no matter what you do,

Know that God loves you, I love you too, I want you to win this fight, defeat just won’t do,

You have the strength inside, to have victory over speed, don’t let it take control of you, don’t give in to the need,

All you have to do is pray, instead of take a hit, God will give you what you need, to get through all of it,

Turn to him in times of trial, and when you are weak, He will surely strengthen you, let it be him you seek.

 


LOOK BEYOND


The hostage that could see no way out
No matter how much he would scream and shout
Locked away in a cell so deep
A cold steel door no sign of a key
His cries could not be heard by the world outside
As he longed for the day that he might die
In the depths of his cell I heard him cry
Why had God abandoned me
Why O why O why

His family’s helplessness pain and despair
Their fruitful tree but a memory
But in his dreams he might escape
If only they were reality
His Anger at the jailer that he could not see

A soft voice called to him from a big blue book
Your faith is the key to set you free
Trust in God
Have faith pass your hand through the wall
Abandon your fears & stand tall
Look beyond your mental capacity
Look beyond and set yourself free

That hostage was I
Alcohol was the cell that imprisoned me
I was that hostage the jailer too

My faith was the key that set me free

That soft voice came from God
I found him in a big blue book
I looked beyond insanity
God blessed me with his anonymity
Today I have my family today I am finally free

Chris M.
 


A ROOM
Inside my mind there is a room,
No doors or windows I can see.
Only screens showing my life,
Repetition of my lasting misery.

I try to escape every chance I get,
To leave the degradation behind.
Running can kill me, if done wrong,
My release must be the right kind.

As for substances that make me forget,
There is only a temporary effect.
Then back to reality and pain,
And again my thoughts start to collect.

Like piles of debris cluttering my mind,
They pollute my self worth and value.
I look to others to verify me,
When of themselves they don’t have a clue.

So in this spiral of a questionable state,
I live with the past here and now.
A colloquia of thoughts decorate my room,
Preventing total surrender some how.

I know that someday I’ll understand,
And attain a true and complete release.
Until then I’ll remain overly aware,
And keep focused on complete peace.

Prisoner No More

Have you stood beside your garden gate
and known there was nothing to stop you
from experiencing this world?
I no longer need its protection
from the pain and the fear
of my former life.
It no longer keeps me a prisoner
nor holds you at a distance.
God aided me in unlatching
the padlock of my disease.
He took me by the hand,
beckoned me through the terror
and said,
"Come walk with me
and live life".

to forgive

beware in this life the next
when you'll discover not time's end

yesterday began without strength
to hold closely while distancing its wind

tomorrow will quite remember
how long a conditioned expectation lives

its commencement's destination
to sanction imagination unfolding to forgive

reality is

of pain do i know
determining into expectation's heart
where my soul seeks
love's unidentifiable abstraction in art

i caress now deeper
judging not into inexorably know
of all this forgotten
reality is capitulating about letting go
