Be my mind today
Protect me from myself
The threats that atempt
to take away
My sanity
Be my heart
Help me not to sway
This way and that
Protect me from heartbreak
Be my helmet
Let me only look to you
Feed my mind courage
Let my strength renew
Be my shield
Let your word be my guide
Let me listen to songs
Your people sing
Bring out the best inside
Be my sword
The only one I yield
Make me remember
Scripture
Don't  let me listen to how I feel
I know my heart
Treaturous thing
So I know I need your help
In everything
I will ignore this heart
I don't want to assume anything
But you will help me through
Because you are my refuge
No matter what life brings

Have you ever felt like
Some hearts believe they can see
Right through you
To your core and reasons
They think they know you
though they have no idea
They can't fit the shoes
You've been wearing
If only a glimpse were caught
Available; though it's not
What remains
Is hearsay and guessing



And this is the story
That's believed of me
How they think
I know what happened
Or what's happening
If I did anything
of my own initiative
Why did I too
Feel like a lunatic?
They say I chose my outcome
To fall apart
I am cold as ice
That I don't have a heart

So I freeze
in solitary confinement
I pray for my enemies
Crying tears of silence
Wishing death would come to me
Though it doesn't
I love and move along
Only enduring
That's my story
Don't get it twisted
Now don't you worry
It won't make a difference
I believe in the one
Who's never giving in
He fulfills his promises
& when I pray
He listens

Throughout our lives
We live many stories
Some we're amazing
In all of their glory
Sometimes in despair
We trip and fall
But we get back up
And the story goes on

Why does it seem
only the ones who dream
are gifted of
so many things...
Yet cursed of happiness?

Good is bad
So bad is good
That's what they say
You can do what you want
Don't matter the cost
Live for today
You'll be forgiven
Don't walk away
It's only temporary
YOLO anyway
That's what *they say

I do not crawl on hands and knees
I am not weighed down with worry
Like so many who've told me
Worry comes naturally
Instead I hand it over in a hurry
To my creator who listens patiently
Who doesn't always fix everything
Not the way I expect it to be
No matter what he protects me
Knows my heart; he gets me
So my best friend he'll always be
Keeping me free from anxiety
Matthew 6:33

My heart speeds up
When we meet
I never smiled so bright
Like when I read your thoughts
She said
It made her sickly
How happy you made me
Ear to ear smiling
I sat waiting
Listening,
Learning you
I said
That was the best

Hit
Nothing ever hit me quite so hard
And I've been hit
Don't get me wrong,
It's not what you're thinking
or maybe it is
You see that's the thing with me
I never know
And I've finally figured it out
So I let it hit me
For the last time
