Anger

It goes from simmer to boil in a matter of minutes
It ravages any prospect of being rational
It spins all sanity and coherency into a torturous gale
It hurts
Both physical and emotional
The mental anguish is unbearable
Aiming to let it subside
Trying to make it go away
Wondering why its here
Where it came from
And how to disappear in a hurry
Clenched fists don't lend a hand
Tears make it worse
Oh God please send a remedy
This is not the me I choose
This is the me I wish to destroy

A Year and a Day

A year ago, I couldn’t fathom how I would make it to this day October 5th...the day after October 4 th … the day my life changed forever…the day where I began to question everything I thought I knew, the day where my future began to look hazy…the day consistency was broken, and my one constant since life began was gone. I couldn't even comprehend the idea of living in a world without my father...and I still can't. But let me tell you, God's grace is sufficient and sustaining. It carries me even when I don't feel it, especially on those days where I question him, and I don’t understand his plan. There will always be an emptiness in my heart, and I will never seek to fill it. That space is reserved just for Daddy.

We do know that tomorrow is not promised, that life can change in a blink of an eye. We know that the last time you see someone may be the last time. We know life is short. We know people can leave us at any moment. We do know...we just forget...

Inner Conflict

What are these tears? Where is my laughter? From what place has this pain arisen? This trivial throbbing, gnawing, infuriating impair in my head. It dances in and overwhelms me. Pinching off bit by bit My since of reason, normalcy, and sanity. They have real pain. They know real anguish. They create new definitions to the word devastation. But they keep going out of obligation and pride. But I, I, tremble … Breaking at the mere initiation or occurrence of sadness. Holding my tears under the eye lids And imprisoning the screams in my throat. A release would offer an insult to the bearers of valid sadness. A suitable response for my hurt would be a simple shaking of the head, But my burdensome response is fear and helplessness. I feel the need to apologize to those who’ve endured deeper cuts. Therefore I will smile and convince myself with hollow reassurances Empty promises and void wisdom… To say…I’m okay.
