White Noise

From month to month, I feel emotionless,
I know I could feel something at one time,
Happy and even sad feelings are missed,
There used to be a heart inside my rhyme.

From week to week, I never feel a change,
The weird senses that made me uneasy,
But now every day feels the exact same,
I’m engulfed by color, but I can’t see.

When will I have this blindfold pulled away,
I want to feel the pain like all those years,
I won’t keep what makes me human at bay,
Even if it means breaking down in tears.

From day to day I don’t feel anything,
When will the day come that I feel something?

My Savior, SAVE ME!

LORD, these things seem to happen just to me,
Most of what I do these days: cry in bed,
LORD, please uncover my eyes, let me see,
What are your plans for me waiting ahead?

God, all troubles happen for a good cause,
But all I see now is this deep, cold black,
I’ve been stabbed many times, I’m clothed in gauze,
I’ll break in two with one more axe’s hack.

Father, save me from this place; I’m dying,
I feel so abandoned, I need You near,
I always say I’m ok, I’m lying,
The real truth is that I’m filled with fear.

Creator, hold my hand, walk me through this,
My Savior, help me escape this abyss.

Man's Hardest Question

How long will I feel this dark loneliness?
This pain inside that will not go away,

I don’t care about her expensive dress,

I care ‘bout one thing, you know what I’ll say.

Each day without you is another fight,

I fight till I hear that deafening yell,

Then I climb to the very highest height,

I think you know what I’m about to tell.

Whenever I see you, I’m taken back,

Whenever I hear you, my heart races,

Although I love it when we get to yack,

I’d like to get past the early basis.

Asking the question is no easy feat,

“Later you want to get a bite to eat?"

Out Of Control

I don’t know now, I’m on autopilot,

I ride this life, it often really hurts,

I suffer now, this life is so violent,

I’m walking on hot coals, it only burns.

My life takes a turn, I’m feeling so good,

She came into my life, I feel so high,

But then she leaves, just as I knew she would,

She does not even let me say goodbye.

I take control again, I’m in the lead,

But until now, I have been the small pawn,

Pathetic and killed off just like a weed,

It won’t be long until my life is gone.

Now life beings to spin out of control,
Crash landing; falling deep into a hole.

The Problems of High School Love

I see that gorgeous girl walking the hall,

I want to be more than friends, it depends,

What if age causes our friendship to fall?

I hate these high school relationship trends!

At what point do I ask again, click send?

I don’t want to make this friendship awkward,

At least until then, she is a good friend,

If I mess up, don’t let us move backward?

I love talking to her, so beautiful,

They tell me there are more fish in the sea,

And while I know the fish are plentiful,

She is the only fish that I can see.

I know one day that question comes once more,

I hope that day she opens her heart’s door.

I Have Been Saved

At some point or another we were lost,

Thinking that we were made for so much more,

We looked, and even if it had a cost,

We needed something that could touch our core.

The answer came in the form of a man,

Not a celeb; a man like you and me,

I admit that I have become a fan,

You ask why I'm so happy, you will see!

He has brought a glorious gift for all,

The gift is grace, mercy, and awesome love,

I come running at his every call,

I'm talking about my Father above.

He overwhelms me like a coming wave,

Just he alone has the power to save!

Where Treasure Is Kept

I know where you say you store your treasure,
You’re wealthy; I see the glee on your face,
You say your riches are safe, you are sure,
But trust me; I know a much safer place.

I have seen you with nice cars, girls, and gold,
All these things will slowly become nothing,
You should listen to what you’re told,
If you listen, you are given something.

If you don’t trust what I say, ask others,
They will tell you the same thing as I do,
Go ahead; ask the fathers, kids, mothers,
If they say different, I’ll listen to you.

I’m telling you of the most secure vault,
When you feel like nothing, it’s not my fault.

Are We Friends?

Why should I call you a close friend today,
The day when I have lost all trust in you?
You say we’re close friends, tell me, in what way?
You lied to me, now that you can’t undo.

I wish I could call you a friend, I can’t,
You lied to me; let me drown in sorrow,
You threw me out to sea; I’m back on land,
I think you'll do it again tomorrow.

You want me to talk to you, I will not,
You betrayed my trust, that can’t be undone,
You killed me like a lobster in a pot,
I give up this argument, you have won.

I’m glad what you said to me is a lie,
Now that I know, my heart has wings to fly.

What's Missing In This Life?

How many people do we know who’s dead?
How many people we know who’s alive?
“I’m just glad I could help,” the doctor said,
But who really made that person revive?

We know meds help, but that’s not the lone cause,
But what then caused that person to return?
Take a moment to think right now, hit pause,
What made that person’s life make a U-turn?

You make a guess, you tell me, “the doctor,”
I say, “that’s not right” and you guess again,
You say, “because he is a warrior,”
I’m sorry, but you’re wrong again, my friend.

I hand them a Bible and say, “read this,”
“Thanks! I knew something in my life’s amiss.”

Beauty Is Easily Hidden

If a beautiful flower grows alone,
Then when it rains, the ground is not wetter,
For in a day the dirt is dry as bone,
The water’s no longer in a fetter.

The flower’s petals slowly start to wilt,
The petals are tossed around in the storm,
But then they are to be pressed in a quilt,
So when it’s done, its beauty is reborn.

To the eye, a lone flower’s pitiful,
And to the mind it may not be that nice,
But to the heart it can be beautiful,
It’s the beauty that goes without a price.

The next time a flower is seen dying,
Someone, somewhere, is happily crying.
