The Voice

There is a well of sadness That’s hidden deep inside A well of pain and bitter hurt For many years denied The child within cries alone For one who does not hear The child within has no one Does anybody care? She cries but no one listens Again she cries alone There is no one to comfort Do they have hearts of stone? She builds a wall around her To hide from all the pain People have to learn her trust Is not so easy to attain

Beyond the mask Our greatest fears Beyond the mask Flows uncried tears Beyond the mask Much pain and hurt The brokenness of a human heart. Beyond the mask Too deep to measure The thoughts and memories buried there No amount of pleasure can repair. Beyond the mask Bitterness and anger are strongly rooted Is there a love that can ever uproot this? Beyond the mask Dare we journey there? But the constant hate and turmoil who alone can bear? Beyond the mask That lonely place where no-one seems to care or love us. Yes, it’s such unpleasant ground, Yet it’s in this very same place that healing is found Beyond the mask Go deep,deep, deep beyond. God will you give the courage and strength to journey on. Beyond the mask Reality, truth and those inward parts the years so well conceal. Take off the mask, Begin to peel … How beautiful – when you are revealed!

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.

There is a reflection of pain in her eyes, as she fights back tears. Trying to figure out why she has put up with it all of these years. Innocence gone. Just taken away. Struggling to deal with it and be free someday. Tries to tell someone but no one believes her cries. Just another young girl getting some attention through lies. Suicide has crossed her mind but she will not go out that way. Thinking well maybe if he can't find me, he just won't rape me today. Perfect smile. Broken soul. Living in this situation that she just can't control. Things get worse and he beats her more. Loses all self respect for herself when he comes through that door. Fed up and full of hope she tried to fight back. He pulled out a knife, all she saw was black. Out of her misery and out of her pain. Put her in such a place that she can't even explain. But she tried to tell someone although they didn't believe her cries. Just maybe if someone would have listened....

Abuse has become a daily routine  in our society today, it is an act that has become so repant in our society today that most people have accepted it as part of their lives, alot of people have embraced this societal beast because they are tired of fighting and because they no longer have the voice to speak for themselves because this beast called " abuse " has stolen their voices. But here is a question for all of us, a question that has been bothering me and I think that it's time we look into it.   How  long can we continue to sit back and watch this beast called abuse steal our voices?   Don't we think that it's time we stand up for ourselves and fight against this beast? Yes you might be comfortable in your homes happy that you are not a victim or your child isn't, but what about those who are? What about those who are broken and destroyed because of this beast? Don't you think that they deserve a better life, and those that no longer h...

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...

Sometimes there's a cloud Hanging over me No matter where I look Despair is all I see. I ask God to remove, The gloom in my way But, it remains no matter How hard I try to pray. The feeling is somber, Disheartening to say the least And I know it is coming From Satan that old beast. For he wants me to be, Discouraged and joyless He loves to make me feel Rejected and hopeless. Lord, sometimes there's a cloud Dampening my view But it simply dissipates The more I think of You.   Psalm 94:19 In the multitudes of my thoughts Within me They comforts delight my soul.
