You Are I AM (Christian Poem)

Oppressed (My Body No Choice) | Christian Poem

Friends, today I share a topic that I know brings up immediate thoughts and feelings. A poem that I know is painful, infuriating, and personal.

I Am My Own Destruction | Christian Poem

On the surface, it seems calm. But a battle rages on. Inside my head.Screams of living versus dead. Like a picture perfect framePeople think they know. I’d like to believe the gamebecause I’m the puppet to my show. Lie after lie, life goes on. I try to find worth. What do I deserve?What is the…

The Door of Darkness (Christian Poem)

It was a beautiful door.Expensive wood. Carved features. A mind that understood. The door called.It beckoned.It glowed. It welcomed. The words it would sing. Sweet. Soft. Gentle.

Fall From My Eyes (Christian Poem)

Darkness surrounds me,but I think it’s light. My eyes are blind,but I think I see clearly. Whispers bite me.Accusation sinks in. But I love condemnation. It’s my truth. The pain makes me alive.

The Hand That Chisels

In joy, the sun-kissed skies dance along the waves of grass. I am free, as the wind blows. The days are short and pass. In darkness, the rain weeps down.Loudly pounding the ground.I am chained and broken.The days are long and nights longer. In bliss, I am merry. In darkness, I am consumed. In light,…

Cotton Candy Life | Christian Poem

Oh, how I long for the good days! Frolicking in the meadows. Where sunsets are always golden. Air scented with lilac petals.
