The Real Me
No one knows the pain I hide,
How lonely I feel, and every night that I cried.
I would go to church, smile, and hope no one would see,
That I was not like them, but I was not me.
They say their my friend, but then something changed.
They started treating me like a stranger, as if I was a freak,
All the while not knowing, it was friendship I seek.
Why couldn’t they have been nice, instead of the stares?
All the laughs and whispers, it’s like they didn’t care.
They say you have Jesus, he is all you need.
But what about friendships or was that a lie too?
A drop of blood falls, now my heart starts to bleed,
Do you see the real me, is that the real you?

A friend is a treasure
One many seek to find
I thought I had found one
many a time one who could be mine
They say Jesus is all you need
but what about a friend
That hug you and hold you
i've often wished longed for one too
but all the while i was hoping
I'd find a friend just like you
It wasn't that you're a genius
Or that you're super anything
Except maybe to me
because you didn't walk on by
You didn't wait and see
If I would come to you
It was you who didn't let it be
You wanted to talk
You wanted to be friends
and to me that was the best gift of all
Hang in there Angie... if you want someone to talk to, I'm here if you want.

Shalom, my brothers and sisters.
I have a rather long poem that I'd like to share so, I'll only post a few stanzas:
1. Do you think that to "Heaven" you'll go when you die?
Did you know that "the heaven" means simply "the sky?"
There's a word that Paul used to mean "above the sky"
that was used just a few times. Would you like to know why?
2. 'Cause "Heav'n" is not the end for which we should wish;
Our hope is to be in His Resurrection of our flesh.
God will raise us to life when the Messiah returns;
It should be in His Coming for which our hearts yearn.
3. Yeshua arose from the grave in His flesh;
He could eat and be touched and had skin clean and fresh.
His body God did not allow to decay,
But brought Him to life upon the third day!
4. God made the first Adam a new, "living breather";
His body accepted God's life as a creature.
God made the last Adam a "life-giving wind,"
Breathing new life eternal into those who had sinned.
5. When loved ones stand at the gravesite and weep,
They may have forgotten those in Christ are "asleep";
Someday the alarm clock of God's shofar blaster
Will blow loud and long, waking those from disaster.
6. They'll stretch and they'll yawn and jump out of their beds;
With God's joy everlasting anointing their heads!
Then we'll too be changed into something amazing!
With life everlasting, it's God we'll be praising!
7. He'll rapture the justified into the sky;
With all of the saints, together we'll fly.
Shouts of victory will rise from our lips to His Name,
And we'll praise Him forever and give Him the fame!
8. Through the heavens we'll go, but we'll all take "right turns!"
Forever we'll be with the Lord, but He yearns
For His land and His people who cry out in fear,
And He'll go straight to Isra'el for their cries He will hear.
9. His terrible sickle will swing in His hand;
With vengeance so fierce, He'll fight for His Land!
Out of His mouth will go a sharp sword;
Enemies tremble when the Lion has roared!
10. The Lion of the tribe of Y'hudah is He,
And none will stand to oppose Him, but flee!
They'll run, but they will not outrun His fierce wrath;
His clothes will be stained with an awesome blood bath.
11. He'll chase from Y'hudah those who would pillage,
And free every town, every borough and village.
Then, off to Yerushalayim He'll fly,
And land on the Mountain of Olives close by.
12. The mountain will quake with the touch of His foot,
And will split in the middle as if by a knife cut.
Half of the mountain will slide to the north;
The other half to the south will slide forth.
13. The rift of the vale an escape will provide.
Then, Yeshua haMashiach will go in with pride.
The graves Ishmael planted before the East Gate
Won't stop Him, for the vale will go right through the gate!
14. By His blood He has hallowed and none can restrain,
For He comes in full haste to aid those who're in pain!
Superstitions that somehow a graveyard provided
Will dissolve as the graveyard is simply divided!
15. The gate too once sealed will be torn quite asunder,
As the Lord of God's Army will enter with thunder!
The pursuer himself will become the pursued,
And the spoilers of Tziyon now cower subdued.
16. As Isra'el passes by the Messiah, they'll see
The prints of the nails in His hands and His feet.
They'll ask, "Where'd you get these wounds in your hands?"
He'll answer, "I got them from those I thought were my friends."
17. They'll realize right then what their ancestors did;
And once they've been safely removed and have hid,
They'll gather together, each family apart,
And mourn for their Son from the depths of their heart.
18. With strength never waning and pow'r in His arm,
He'll scour every building, every home, every farm;
He'll purge His own city of those He'll defeat,
And chase them, as through the north gate they retreat.
19. On the hill of Megiddo, they'll think to take stand,
And battle against Him as together they band,
But He and His army will defeat them with ease--
To the bridles blood'll flow, as the Scripture decrees.
20. For two hundred miles (give or take), He will trounce them,
And forever from His conquered Land He will bounce them!
Then the birds and wild beasts to the supper will come;
They'll gorge themselves silly with the meat of the dumb.
21. They'll cart off their bones to pick at them (though sated),
And the nations will sue for His peace (though belated).
He'll judge them by how they treated His people,
Both Israelis and those who have met under steeple.
22. There's no difference now between Gentile and Jew,
When God has grafted both in the Olive Tree's Root.
Outside of the Olive Tree, there's still a distinction,
And Yeshua will judge them, nation by nation....
That's about a third of it. Any comments?
Roy

i watched as the sun dipped into the cool water
its calm serene surface held a secret
the currents within would sweep you away
carry you to deeper waters and pull you under
to enter without caution would not be wise
i entered there once i didn't want to do it again
took me to a place i'd rather forget
the alure of its calm coolness is at times hard to ignore
yet in these waters awaits something
something that would devour you
and spit out to devour you again
till there's nothing left....
i watched the sun set
and looked away.... i walked away
i didn't want to see it anymore
though that place may always call me
i may think of it again....
those thoughts i'd rather not have them
but today i walked away
today i stood firm....
and that's good enough

stars twinkle in a moonlit sky
clouds of darkness start to cover them
a wind blows through
it rushes in
it recks and destroys everything in its path
a whirlwind monster here and then gone
a girl sits watching it all happen
fearing for her life praying for it to be over
when it is a sigh of relief escapes her lips
she looks at the sky
though everything else is recked
she's alive and as the stars pop out
she breathes another prayer
a prayer of thanks
because even in the storm she clung to him
Her Savior Jesus held strong
protecting her from it all
she may have lost much but she gained much more
a faith in Jesus
like never before
because he held her even in the storm
Satan comes to steal, kill and destory but I have come so that you may life and have more abundantly.... (paraphrase version of my own ... from?)
hope you like....

This is the first poem I've written in years. What do you think? Does it make sense?
Depression with God
Nasty,
Ugly,
Bashing
My heart
Heaven
Hell
Good
Evil
God
Can
Help
Me
If
I
Continue
To
Believe
In
His
Sacrifice
And
In
His
Name
He
Will
Carry
Me
In
His
Loving
Arms.

reason to hope for tomarrow
reason to get through now.
knowing the sun will shine
that it will all be fine.
i think this to myself
like i didn't feel it as if
it wasn't the way it is
that everything wasn't a miss
that i didn't feel
that my reality wasn't real
how could i be so far from you
is it true
reason to hope for tomarrow
reason to get through now
knowing the sun will come again
that it wouldn't be in vain
so i hope and wait for awhile more
just to see what tomarrow might have instore
what will happen who knows
but for this reason hope grows

Okay, before some of you rip me to shreds, just wanted to say that I am a really bad writer. I am actually writing more so it will help me when I take my GRE's. So, please, please, please be nice. :)
This poem is called: Hello Old Friend
Hello old friend
How has life been treating you?
Yeah, I've miss you too
I wonder how you sleep at night
Or what you are thinking of at this exactly moment
Did you get everything you wanted?
Are you nervous about something?
I see you with your sad eyes
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it
I didn't want this for you
I envisioned more laughter, less tears
I know life doesn't always follow our plans
But give it time, He knows what He's doing
I must leave you now, old friend
Keep me in your mind
For you are always in mine
Good night old friend
Until we meet again
I have yet to read other poems and stories that has been placed here so I am really looking forward to it.

a rustle within my soul
you o whimsical creature suspended above manipulating,controlling,giving life the universe is yours you hold yet i but am a finite speck who has been invaded by your serene being your terrifyinglybeautiful existence
i cower for fear you will find that which long have i kept hidden
how could i ever let you know-
-i wear my heart on my sleeve to cover the scars on my arm

then maybe
if i could give you the wind
and let it carry your burdens away
; if i could give you the stars
and let their light illuminate your darkness
; if i could teach you to fly
and let you leave the past behind
; if i could give you my heart
and let it beat only for you
; then maybe
(this love would mean something afterall)

shadows of memories
days and moments long past
i think of you
our friendship
the joyous times
my dependence on you
all that you meant to me
though I still don't understand
all that I mean to you
i was yours....
we were close....
like a child with her father
even though it was deeper
even though I never comprehend
but i was your creation and you are my creator
i was a child with faith
who loved you.... with all she was
yet time and life have left their mark
i wonder where has that little girl gone
the one who sang
the one who danced without fear
i wonder where has that little girl gone
is she still apart of me deep down
is she still there at all
what i remember most
of those times....
were you and me together...
i wonder now....
will it ever be again...
prehaps closer than before
where has that little girl gone...

Oh Jesus, my Lord my Savior
Its been so long too long
Life has come with its problems
It seems I've tried to take control
It seems now its taking its toll
I'm at the end of myself
I wonder how do I get out of here
I need you to come to my rescue
and save me from myself
cuz its you and no one else
how long has it been since i desired you
Yea its true its been way to long
so this is my song
How I miss your voice
How I miss your loving arms around me
I miss all that you are
I miss you Its you Its you
I miss you my savior my Lord my God
I miss you can I just be with you now

i saw you today
when the sun cast its brilliant
splendor across the burning horizon
as if god’s Hand came and painted
his Love in magnificent tender life
(i saw you)
i saw you today
when the day began to dim the sky
began to sing and stars began to dance
as the moon kissed me gently and
whispered the night will only last a while
(i saw you)
i saw you today
when the dawn revealed its glory
and the morning dew washed all things
anew and a hopeful joy and peace
wrapped its warm arms around me close
(i saw you)
i saw you today
in a perfect moment
When all was as it should be
(i saw you)

I like to read a good book,
take a video and dream through the day,
gather up humanity’s best propositions,
build mottos so as to command
the attention of talent-seekers.
Oh, but I’m learning
to…
stand up, be counted for You,
to read your Word and let it soothe
my hardness of heart,
the doubting parts of be-i-ing.
I…want…my life…to say
that I am standing, counted by You.
This did not come by concentration,
this didn't appear like some blessed aparition.
It came in the night, between tossing and turning,
thinking that sometimes, I waste my life.
It consumed me...when...a piece of a verse of what You've inspired
dropped into the deepest part of my heart,
and it whispered,
"If we confess our sins,
He is faithful.
If we we confess our sins,
He is just.
If we confess our sins,
He forgives us,
cleanses us,
from every and all
sin", and that is just the start!
For, "God is Love",
"No greater love
has any man than he who would lay his life
down for his friends".
So, more and more,
I'm reading a Good Book,
holding onto a vision throughout the day,
calling to mind the many promises
given to a heart that wants,
offered freely to a heart that desires,
mercifully promised to a soul that is so much in love
wi-ith Grace!

The Place
If time were just a moment would we already be there?
If sin did not nter could we even say a prayer?
If choices were chosen how would we even learn?
If life didn't challenge who is it we would discern?
If we didn't persevere then who would we really be?
If we were not pure in heart how could we truly see?
If we didn't want to give then how would we receive?
How could we know love if we didn't even believe?
If we didn't knock then who is holding the key?
If we know the truth then are we not set free?
I am here and you are there supported by a vine.
Together we grow simultaneously divided here in time.
Understanding our true selves as revealed to us by will.
Soon to see refuge in green pasture with water so still.
Where finally we can look upon God's glorious face.
As we find each other there at that meeting place.
John 14:3, And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also

Everything....Is You
There's so much to this dream
I thought I had and thought I understood
With every passing day and night
I begin to see that nothing can ever replace you
This thing called life is nothing but emptyness
The meaningless fight struggle against the self destructing
The corrupt programming that changed it all
If it wasn't for you my God my savior... to save me
I'd be long lost before now before I ever lived
Chorus
You are the vivid color
The air in my lungs very life itself
You are the joy the peace the hope
The water to parched lips
without you without you
its unbearable unspeakable
oh I need you for you are everything
Everything
as if u awoke from the nightmare
from the pitch black u once called reality
you see again that which makes it all worth while
This is the reason This is why....
No wandering anymore to those who are lost
This is the answer to surrender is the final win
a step into the light.... awaken to new dawn
a new life.... from death
chorus
Everything you are is all I need....
Sometimes more than I can bare but do I care
Everything ... that is you
Is all that is or was or will be....
I can not begin to say
What you mean what it is when I'm with you
That is that is what I need more than anything
Just you.... Just you...

I never made it to Memphis
But I hear Curcio’s doing fine
He turned over a picnic table
I didn’t know that I would forget
Down in Woodstock
Duckworth is paroling prisoners
For every five years of good luck
She makes them urinate in a cup
High up in Atlanta
Brandon taught her sorrow how to cope
His brother dates some bird named Robyn
She drove a car over my foot once
I didn’t know that I would forget
But I did
I couldn’t stand the heat of Alabama
Anna married a pretentious slob
She made him a pretty housewife
I knew then that I did forget
In a valley of Tennessee
Jeff never brushed his teeth
But I hear he paints houses red
And kills the sun with the moon
Far on an Irish coast
Betty drank the wine
That flowed from the power feline
She couldn’t fathom her name was Chan
I didn’t know that I would forget
But I did
Too much like dry markers
Too little like a white board
I erased them clean
But they weren’t clean
Still I erased them clean
These hands were colored
So much so more than chalk on cement
Vivid myriads, too many lucid dreams
My first summer apart
My first job I quit
My first American dream that I could forget

Alone?
I thought myself alone
My voice a mere moan
Emitting from my cave
Of loneliness...
While thus enslaved
The mirage You staved
Saved, once again,
This claustrophobe.
For thousands and thousands and thousands of souls
Even this moment do You extol
My voice a mere morsel compared to the feast
That's offered up daily and laid at your feet.
Significant? No,
My rhythms and rhymes
Are doomed to succumb
To the pressures of Time
But just for this moment
With souls in delight
We all raise our voice
To light up the night.

i know nothing of what it is
this this what you say
a word I can not utter
for no word captures this completely
only memory of then
that moment when you were with me
i knew u were not a speck of doubt
lingered because right then it was real
only more it was more real than anything
anything on earth it was better
the truth,hope,joy, love, peace
forgiveness... and so much more
all there all for recieving
as you freely give it...
you pour it out on the hearts
the willing ones ready to recieve
i know not how to say it all
i can do nothing of my own
without u
that is the problem...
i know of what i need
i know of how to ask
but i feel as if i gain no ground
i wait as if in the desert
its dry and barren place
yet its worse than than no water
its more like outer space
all around me is an empty void
a vaccum to suck me in....
in this place i can't breathe
because the air i need
isn't there....
the air i need is that of
which you are...
for this my soul longs
my inner being cries out
in anguish at this wait...
to have one drop of this
would allow me to go on...
how can i go on without u
oh will u not hear me...
rain on me.... let me bask in ur presence
breathe in u .... the air i need
let me breathe
