waits






steady walking myself down
foreign are all these sounds
dripping curiosities fill me
questions of "what ifs" ground me

reality pulls me back up 
appearance throws me off
perceptions twisting tight
dark isn't so dark in the light

this poem in my head
won't come out until it's perfectly said
words stubborn full of pride
won't let loose til i'm on your side/you see

i feel broken i feel bruised i feel smothered and used
i feel choked and battered and beaten and confused
i feel abandoned i feel hurt i feel completely lied to
i feel lost, mislead, and stupid for believing you.

Feelings, Feelings... you always lie.
Can't trust how i feel to save my life.
You say i'm hurt when i just saw that i'm healed
I say HE is right here.. you say, but that's not how you feel!

Feelings, Feelings... you always lie
This time I WILL change YOUR mind.
I will tell you what is truth.  
Please step in line and speak it too.

Feelings it's time for you to be on my side/ You see
He has changed my life
He has transformed my mind
He has given new words
He has brought more time

wholeness filled my emptiness
richness conformed this poverish mindset
You love me no matter...
thanks for that
