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 these words come easy;
"You can push through, this is not new,
Fear not I am with thee."

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...
