Just because you fail once doesn't mean you fail all October 8, 2012

Depressed and sad until the bitter end
A broken heart that nobody can mend
Losing the once experienced hope
Grasped by the bondage of an unforgiving rope
Drowning by the waves of the devastating blow
Endless torment knowing the sun won't ever glow
The brick wall of trial won't even move
I sit and stare at the plastered cement convince myself I have nothing to prove
All I know is after the wall is a gravel hill
A hill that can only be climbed with unrealistic power and will
Raging boulder chases me down
I'm back on the ground
I fly to saftey and hit the dirt floor
Wandering when I will see an open door
I am filled with constant overwhelming doubts
And I am forgetting about the proper route
I don't feel as if I have an impacting voice
If just one person heard, my soul would rejoice
Complicated breathing and striving to awake
Planning to fall away from all to break
Rocking and shifting on the teeter totter of life
Stabbed in the back with an untrusting knife
Can't trust the most trusting soul
No matter what I don't have any control
You can never truly win it all
You're always going to fall
You think you got your life planned
You think you are strong and know how to stand
Don't get too confident, because you're just going to get knocked down
You are going to lay there with a frown
 All you can do is try to soften the blows
At least until the agony slows
All you can do is have faith and love God
And cling mightily to the Iron Rod

He Never Gave Up October 7,2012

The Savior never gave up no matter his circumstances
No matter the hardship or the spiritual dances
He was tried more than we can comprehend
Yet with one hiccup we want our life to end
Christ never lost perfect faith in his father above
He had perfect knowledge of his perfect love
He lived his life without a selfish thought
Our Savior prayed, loved and taught
He is our shepherd, thus we are his sheep
We have the light of Christ that we should always keep
Our church and Gospel are surrounded by his grace
We should all know of his warm embrace
He is the man we must all strive to be
He always says "come follow me"
If we follow him then we know we are heading the right way
We know we haven't procrastinated until that final day
How was he so strong?
How did he go through the toughest life without doing anything wrong?
Because of his perfect faith and unwavering knowledge
He never even came close to the rocky edge
We should do everything to be exactly like him
Our testimony would never go dim
We are promised everlasting life
If we repent and are righteous even through strife
We should love, serve, read and pray
And we won't have regrets in the last day  

Oceans Pride October 6,2012

Waves crash the golden shore
Splashing the swollen core
At the bleakest moment on the curious night
The ocean moves regardless of light
Continually pressing diligently strong
Always knowing where it belongs
Impacting the world with swift currents of blue
Although constant not predictable as morning dew
One swift hiccup in the ocean floor
Causes impressive and a storming roar
Don't upset the integrity of the bouldering tide
Reflecting the Earth's reluctant pride
We idealize the strength of the unforgiving sea
Relating ourselves to whom we should be

Daddy, I love you October 6, 2012

My father is a built in friend
And that friendship will never end
One eternal round
Love tightly wound
He teaches, preaches, ponders and prays
No matter what he won't go away
He coaches, encourages, guides and leads
Love there whenever I need
Emotionally drained
Comforting pain
Setting the bar so high
For my future guy
He is a strong and spiritual patriarch of the home
He protects me when my faith looks to roam
He is realistic and knows about life
He has lived through this and has dealt with strife
And I know I can count on him
His care for me will never grow dim
He seems to always know what to do
Daddy, I love you

Not a Liar October 5,2012

I never lied to you
From day one I was completely true
My feelings for you were never fake
I was sincere when I gave you my heart to take
You may think I was never real
But, that's all I can do is tell you how I feel
My feelings may make your anger soar
But, there is nothing else I can say, nothing more
One day you will be able to forgive
One day you'll be supportive
In your mind this may be right
But my spirit is contrite
I am truly sorry that I dragged you along
Wish I could have just skipped the break-up song
I am sorry I didn't just shut the door
I grabbed your heart and slowly tore
I know I did this all the wrong way
Don't know what else you want me to say
Apologies have now become meaningless
My words just seem to become a mess
I never lied to you
Everything I told you was true

Fly Away October 5,2012

Broken hearts and all because of me
But, Baby, I couldn't continue with that anxiety
You can be in love, but it not be the one
I tried to ignore the prompting, but couldn't continue to shun
I know it was out of the blue
And I still love you
But, for reasons it had to end
Broke my heart and I lost a friend
One day we will understand why
Right now I wish I could fly
Fly away from all my problems, worries and fears
Maybe then I don't have to shed these tears
Fly above all the sadness and worry
A place where we aren't in such a hurry
Fly to a place where there is no feelings of pain
Where everyday is gloriously the same
My stomach is filed with an endless pit
So much pain; Nothing else could possibly fit

Heart is Sore October 5, 2012

My heart is still sore
And I don't want to hurt anymore
I wish there was a magic potion to ease the pain
Because all my heart can do is strain
I still feel as if I chose the right
But, there is no end in sight
It hurts that he hurts
I'm waiting for answers, my mind is alert
My heart is still sore
And I don't want to hurt anymore
But, life does bring trials
We knew it wasn't going to be all smiles
I do wish however that smiles outweighed frowns
Sometimes wish the ups outweighed the downs
My mind is swirling
My stomach is twirling
My heart is still sore
And I don't want to hurt anymore
When will my heart stop yelling through my chest
When will my feeling of love come to a rest
Because at this rate I'll never be my best
