Break me, Lord..

I run from my fears

I suppress all that really scares me, all that really hurts me

And when you ask me to give it to you, I say,

“give what to you?”

I hand you a locked box.

Break me, Lord, please..

You understand the deepest desires of my heart,

The plan you have for me, you put in there somewhere,

Jesus, that’s all I want

To surrender to you, but I hand you a locked box

to which I

have lost the key.

Lord, break me.

Chemistry. By Me.

I was taught not to hate
For the word is too strong,
But I just can’t weather the elements,
Chemistry class is not where I belong.

My atoms are splitting trying to comprehend
Just when I will need to know,
That moles are more than just an animal
Without any eyes to show.

Moles to me are nothing more
Than an icky spot on the neck,
Six point oh-two times ten to the twenty third
Is knowledge I wish to lack.

I don’t even care about moles anymore, they were nothing, I just don’t even know what to call what i’m doing. I do not *get* this and neither does anyone else in my class.

8/26 Have Faith, by Emiry214

I feel like I don’t need to cry out anymore, “Save me, God.”

Instead, all I need to do is sit still, allow him to quiet my heart,

and simply rest. Wherever I am. Simply and perfectly safe in His arms.

Why should I struggle, surrounded by such love?

— And I can almost feel a hand move over me,

Its one thing to ask for His help,

—  almost feel my guardian angels surround me

Its another, as I have done before, to cry out

— almost feel a wave crash over me

in a panic, in distrust,

— almost feel a light close in on me

as if i’ve been forsaken

— almost feel His arms wrapped around me

God keeps His promises.

His peace is with me.

Save Me. 7/16/12

Save me. By Emiry214

Save me, God
a sparrow in Your hands
my wings are harshly mangled
and my trust is much dismayed
Oh my Father,
You bind my wounds so carefully
but I fight when You touch my heart
So You let me be

Save me, God
a lamb at Your feet
Wolf bites in my heart
From when I ran from You
Oh my Shepherd,
You welcome me back so tenderly
But I struggle when You hold me close
So You let me be

Save me, God
a wilting flower in Your sights
My pedals droop in fear
but I was too afraid to look up
Oh my Savior,
You plant me in Your Heart so lovingly
But I root myself in the darkness
So You let me be

Save me, God
Your daughter falling at Your feet
My face is damp with tears
as my enemies harass me
Oh my Savior,
You dry my tears so gently
But I look away to the pressing shadows
So You let me be

My God, Save Me
My trust is broken,
My heart is torn,
Everyday is dark,
And all I know is fear.
Where are You?
How can I be so far away?


Can’t you hear me?
Please hear my cry.
I need You, I need You.
My God..
My Jesus..

…

My Child, when you came to Me
I healed your wings
But you wouldn’t let Me teach you to fly

My Child, when you came to Me
I mended your heart
But you wouldn’t let Me fill it with Love

My Child, when you came to Me
I watered you with love
But you wouldn’t let Me shower you with light

My Child, when you came to Me,
Crying at my feet,
I dried all of your tears.

But My beloved Child,
Had you taken your eyes off the shadows,
You would have seen me with arms wide open.

You would have seen me,
wanting so desperately to protect you,
But I did all that you would allow me to.


My beloved Child.. I love you.

We Are In Night

(We Are In Night. by Emily Schaefer)
Now imagine,
a place not so far from here.
Standing amidst the twilight,
thick with smog, thick with hate.
Where none accompany the shadows cast
by the artificial glow of lights
Lining this empty street.
None but the company of a puddle,
illuminated by the many windows,
bustling streets, traffic lights,
ever-changing.
Aimless stares of the passerby,
unfulfilled.
Listen to this place,
Loud with chaos, Loud with anger.
Silent cries of shattered understanding.
Turn, gaze up towards the glass sky,
haphazard boxes of absent purpose
Blot the blanket of night,
Yet this is such a dark place.
So dark that I
Cannot see the stars.

Fatal Flaw

Say there are two people standing side by side
neither of them know the other, but such is irrelavent
and I stand among them

If one is to hold a gun, and the other my trust
and it is said one will turn their back on me today

I would have rathered it had been the one with the gun
For it would not have been as painful

and if ever again I stand among the two,
I would pick the gun over you.
