Hope In The Fight

Hope In The Fight
6 October 2018

The fight is still so real, it pulls me to and fro.
It makes me feel insane, like I have nowhere safe to go.
It yells inside my head, tells me I'm a fool;
That in seeking out some help, I'm just another mule.
I know that this is temporary, it will not last that long,
And the purpose of this fight, is to make me strong.
I know that there are others fighting right beside;
Yet part of me still wishes, the fight would just subside.
Depression and anxiety fill me to the core.
I can tell you this much, this life is not a bore.
There's beauty still around, faith and love still there;
Even though I hide them, making me feel bare.
I won't give into evil, it cannot have my life;
Though it tries to overcome, and cuts me like a knife.
I know that God is watching, offering His aid;
Sometimes it's through angels, or offering a blockade.
Sometimes it's through man who offer a kind deed;
Or nature, music, scriptures; even in books I read.
I know He won't give up in helping me return.
There are just so many lessons I have yet to learn.
So when I feel despair and my path seems hard to follow;
I look down at my feet and take one step towards tomorrow.
It's the only way I know that today I can bear,
The struggles set before me; and one day I can share,
The hope that kept me going on this journey I went through,
To the Glory in the end, when we are made anew.

Confined

I started writing this, and I was fighting with the idea to post it, because I’m still working on the strength to continue on this journey of healing, after a little bump in the road. Then as I was reading the Bible, a certain verse was brought to my attention, and again I was prompted that I needed to share this. I’m not sure who this is for, please, just know that God loves you, and the wisdom I have, is that God is watching out for all of us, and He will give us the strength to get through pain, and help others. KJV Ecclesiastes 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.” Confined 22 February 2018 The simple thought to run, goes trailing through my mind, At a million miles per hour, it almost makes me blind. The idea that somehow I should have escaped; The mental confusion, why do I feel raped? That person never laid a finger on me. The fear, nevertheless, was complete reality. Feeling lost, torn, and broken, my ...

Frozen

W hy am I so scared to heal? Is it laziness? Is it fear? What am I scared of? Why don't I want to thrive, only survive? I have issues with isolation, laziness, distractions. How do I get out of this loop? I'm frozen, stalled. Procrastination and avoidance are my daily routines. Frozen 24 April 2022 Marie Slider Scared to heal, scared to live, Why is there no care that I give? Desire to run or walk away, But can't take a step to get out of my way. I'm frozen in a bubble of time, Completely surrounded by dust and grime. Cobwebs entangle my conscious mind, Body entangled by ropes that bind. Apathy threatens to take control, Darkening my beautiful soul. My light inside, it flickers and fades, Isolation cuts like sharpened blades. Fear of failure and fear of success, My brain and heart are completely a mess. Can't see a way out most of the days, My mind's labyrinth firmly betrays. Self-awareness, a strength to many who seek, For a person like m...

Traveling Again (a Journey poem #3)

  Traveling Again (a Journey poem #3)  11 May 2022 Marie Slider I'm on that rough path again, though this time I see the lies, T hat Satan often tells me, but God, he hears my cries. Those rocks and sticks I've overcome, I thought would break my bones, Have only made me stronger, many times I have been shown. I'm not that same lost girl, who was stuck in the dark, The warmth of that calm spirit, resides within my heart. The darkness tries to overcome, but this journey has let me see, That I've walked this path before, and God can set me free. I have to push myself again, to walk this path of sorrow, And I know that, yet again, I may walk it tomorrow. Today, however, I can find that door that's so inviting, And be embraced by Heavenly Father, (isn't that exciting?) He will always give me peace, if I reach out my hand And I know that one day, I will permanently take that stand. But, if I have to turn around, and take another journey, Through t...
