As if my ego,
Would find a boost…
By the use of your techniques.
You insisted that I needed this.
And even today I agree I do.
The exposure to such pettiness…
Has kept me feeling blessed,
That what I have to offer
Does not need to pass your tests!
Remember…
You invited me,
To share my abilities.
And not feed from the offerings,
Of a constant flow of mindless BS!
That you claim is among your very best!
Please.
I am not flattered easily,

Because I made decisions,
I have been told I am not ‘really’ happy.I am told I hunger for a success that shows.I am told my lifestyle is much too basic.And I wish for things to hear others sing,My praises.Because I made decisions,To release and free myself of tensions.Preferring my peace,Surrounded by more of it…I have split from all conflicts…
How is a broken fence mended?
And forget that thought,Entered your mind!It will save time,And explanationsWhen re-occurrences happen!And they will!Just like a cheating spouse!If it’s not stuck like glue…Know what to do.Split!
Hadn’t you known
I’m certain it was shown.And who have you been?It looks as if you are the one,Who has been pretending.But that’s okay!That has long been displayed.Your eyes are filled with criticism.And that has helped my movementsFlow in ways I can not say!
How deep is a forgiveness given,
With dialogue set to reload?How deep is a forgiveness given,When emotions connect…Simmering to explode?Refreshed,These actions once taken.Were then to them expessedWith much deep felt regret!Yet…Here it is today years later,An argument is baited.Instigated by those related…To inflate with tempers leeched,And fetched!Like mad dogs fed,Raw meat to keep them mean!Shallow scenes like these…Invokes ignorance and demeans!But…
Those who inflicted pain on others,
Need not concern themselves…As to when to expect rescue!
So it is, as I am.
To be here with you near.To know this as we do.Like,We do.You me…Together.One of two ‘but’ one!Happy and having fun.Loving…And getting that right.Sometimes wrong…But not for long.You and I.So it is, as I am.As you are with me…As we.Are!Now!Together.Forever…Like this,As one!Again like this.

If you are suffering from the acknowledgement of it…
And can not free yourself from an assortment of beliefs,
There is nothing about truth you will accept.
Even if God answered your prayers…
You would still be in denial.
Preferring to align yourself with routine.
And not a deliverance with concrete meaning.
That would be too much reality!
Wouldn’t it?
You could not live without relying upon delusions.
Or an embellishment of your activities.
You’ve become accustomed to structure,
And dictation.
With a place to hide where you can go lie to yourself.
Concealed in neurotic freedoms.

according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus
as in the Philippians 4: 19 we can read
Prayer journals are amazing tools
for tracing answered prayers,
but are not required to remember
where God has come through for us in our lives.
He is close to the brokenhearted,
and He hears our prayers!

Begin descending to fret…
All opportunity to correct this,
Has been exhausted.
Everything you own,
Will seem valueless!
Unworthy to be shown.
But all is not lost!
There has to be ‘some’ decisions you made
Pleasing your heart…
That did not require a purchase from the start!
To impress.
With a lease, rental or mortgage to digest!
If you are happy within,
With a peace of mind you can display…
What else is more satisfying than that?
Today…
Many are holding onto impressions!
Possessions they can least afford.
Accompanied by confessions that bore.
Today…
Many are abandoning their happiness in ‘things’!
Today…
If you are happy within,
With a peace of mind you can display…
Know today you can say,
What you have is completely yours!
And foreclosure or repossession,
Is not coming your way!
Today.
Not for what took you long to pursue.
Nurturing this to have it grow like it grew…
For you,
Today!
