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.

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

My Squad of Angels

My Squad of Angels 29 December 2017 They're not that far away; all those who passed before. They're waiting for my arrival just behind this mortal door. They're watching and guiding prayerfully in that space that's just beyond. They're in the creases of my heart; a place they're very fond. They're floating through my memories, to help sort out my past. They want me to find happiness, but their flag is at half mast. They do this to help me bear the weight of struggles along the way.  They want to give their strength to me during every painful day. They wait beyond my consciousness, their warmth they want to share; Sometimes I feel it blowing in the wind that moves my hair. I see them in a stranger's face as a flicker or a feeling. Sometimes the similarities scare me through the ceiling. I wonder if that person may be sent from one who passed, Or if a chance connection is a hook my loved ones

Not Lost

Not Lost 18 June 2020 Marie Slider Lost in my brain, feeling insane; not sure of where to go. Yearn to be free; what's happening to me? In a boat I cannot row. Thoughts reign supreme, or so it seems; where can I find release? Where can I run? This is not very fun; why can I not find peace? What's that I hear? It's not very clear; where is it coming from? A pitter a patter, I feel like this matters; the noise is that of a drum. It's not a loud sound, but it booms all around; A stirring within my heart. The spirit, it speaks; the brain starts to weep, for the curtains they finally part. They show a love there, that the brain said was bare, and so I could not see. How much I have grown; that I'm never alone; that Someone is holding me. The scars that I've earned, are lessons Ive learned and I cannot forget; The fact of the matter; I did not shatter, And I will not live in regret. So when I feel lost, and my brain feels tossed, I hope thes
