I WANT TO OWN MY PAIN

-

I want to own my pain
I want to set her free
I want to give the world
The little girl that’s me

She’s been alone for so long
She’s hidden away in fear
She deserves to see the world
And have a voice for them to hear

She’s not the guilty party
Her innocence was pure
She was ever such a pretty girl
Who has been treated like manure

She has great hidden talent
A light that shines so bright
For she can make people laugh
A gift that gives delight

Her green eyes sparkle with delight
A smile plays on her lips
Ignore the many years
Of pain showing on her hips.

    True, our experiences do not define us, but they can teach us some things...if we learn to own them. Nice one Kate!

    I can relate. We must overcome every pain and bitterness to become all that we have been destined to be.

Depression (Spoken Word) Depression… what is depression?  It’s not just sadness or an absence of gladness or absolute madness. It’s a disease that takes everything out of you but people don’t see it that way They say just let it go away and tomorrow will be a brighter today But there are no brighter today's just worse tomorrows filled with pain and sorrow. A feeling that’s unfathomable you see let me explain It’s like you’re chained in the pouring and thunderous rain in your brain only to find out that it’s a chemical imbalance causing this pain It’s being submerged into the darkness while others have light. It’s an everyday fight like a little kids fright at night. It’s being in a maze that has exits but you never find your way out. Yea you may get a little light but then before you know it your back in your drought. It’s being surrounded by everything and yet you still feel alone and no matter who comes to help you’re on your own. So who can you blame? Yourself...

Gaps in the graphics, Always knew they were there, But stuff I saw made me More reluctant to share It was fresh, it was new, Never been there before, And the scary specifics Made me feel like a whore I know if I trust You I’ll come out the other side, With more freedom than ever, Nothing to prove, lose, or hide. Gaps in the graphics, Want them to stay as they are Then once and forever, That ship can sail  afar.

When all hope is gone

When all hope, Has gone out of you When the sea ahead Turns a ranging blue. Hold on to Jesus, Let Him be your light And the waves of depression He will help you fight. When all desire, Has gone out of you When the storm you are in Obscures your enternal view. Hold on to Jesus, Let Him be your rock And the winds of adversity He will begin to block. When all hope and desire, Has gone out of you You'll not be discouraged If Jesus you hold on to.
