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

God Doesn't Make Mistakes

God doesn’t make mistakes. My mind is convinced... My heart needs a little more time. He is infinite and all wise All knowing and sovereign I dare not question His plan But this time… This one time… I think He got it wrong. For all intents and purposes I know He knows best. I know His plans are greater than my plans And His thoughts greater than my thoughts His ways are not my ways But perhaps this time… This one time… Maybe He got it wrong? I believe in the power of the Almighty. There is no one like Him. He the great Jehovah The mighty God The One who sits high And looks low. He who rules and super-rules the universe. The one who created this earth from nothing Breathed the breath of life into man Separates the night from the day. Maybe just maybe This one time He got it wrong. The wind and rain obey Him! The thunder rolls at the sound of his voice! The world cradled in the palm of his

We Wear the Mask by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

W E wear the mask that grins and lies,     It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—     This debt we pay to human guile;     With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,     And mouth with myriad subtleties.     Why should the world be over-wise,     In counting all our tears and sighs?     Nay, let them only see us, while             We wear the mask.     We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries     To thee from tortured souls arise.     We sing, but oh the clay is vile     Beneath our feet, and long the mile;     But let the world dream otherwise,             We wear the mask! This is another one of my favorite poems! Enjoy!

Poetry

Poetry I am good at this one thing. I can convey what I want to say. I can shape and make and mold my thoughts. I can fit and craft my words. I know how to form my stanzas. There is a lot I am not good at A lot that I can not do or say, But I am good at this one thing No on can take it away. I am sure this is a gift. I am sure this can touch lives. I know I am supposed to do something with it. I just haven’t figured out what and how. But I know I can…I am sure of this one thing That I am good at this one thing And no one can take it away.
