Stepping outside, to see the beauty that surrounds me

Each color of the world is an expression of something deep inside

Love is not only a word, but an emotion I feel for all those who surround me

Away from reality is where I hide.

Seeking out the truth overwhelms me

Blustering about in my own ignorance and fear

Holding on, with all of my might, to those who love me

Trying to never break a sweat, or shed a tear.

Mothering my two toddlers who love me

Suppressing the anger that is deep within

Falling in love with someone who has spent only a day with me

The overwhelming exhaustion of being consumed by sin.

Helping those who take advantage of me

Taking a step toward forgiveness with each passing day

Caring, and Loving, and Being devoted to everyone, but me

Acting as if this is just a silly, nonchalant game that we play.

Reading is something that can consume me

Writing is the expression of those emotions held deep in my heart

Hating all of the loves who’ve loved me

Always wanting to be alone, but never wanting to be apart.

Stepping outside, to see the beauty that overwhelms me

Each color of the world a new shade of gray

 Constantly trying to let the world pass me

Wondering if you even read what I have to say.
