Dose of Reality

Posted on 16 Nov 201116 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

It dawn on me

No matter, how many times

I tell myself I don’t need this,

My body tells my other words.

Dose of Reality

2 Dose in morning

Sometimes 3 or 4

Depends on pain

Another Dose 2 hour later

Dose of Reality

Is starting to settle in

3 Doses before I call it a night

Sometimes 2 or 4

Dose of Reality

Isn’t looking good to me

I was starting to get use to the face I was only taking one medication a day. Matter of fact I was loving it. A few months ago crush my little world of happiness. 😦 Oh yea do not think by any mean thats all I take, that the nice side of it all.

Not Promise

Posted on 14 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

I’m laying in bed

Catching up on facebook status

So many losing someone they love

Time is not promise to no one

I think of the song by

MJ: Gone to SOON

We ask ourselves

Why they leave us

I didn’t tell them I love them

One more time

If only I could just touch them

See they smiling faces

I know life isn’t promises to anyone

It breaks my heart to read about

How someone choose to

End another person life

One person waiting on

Confirmation on a

Love one

They know they not going to make it

All they have is memories, pictures

Death Is All Around Us

Make me think back

When I was in the hospital

The nurse told me she lost a patient

It hurts to lose someone

Another young lady just lost her

Grandfather, just told my friend

Sorry for her lost and she in my prayers

And that we love her

Death Is around Us

Headaches

Posted on 13 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

You come and go

so intense

that you make me run and hide

into the dark

Some call them migraines

and some sinus headaches

I call them pain in my butt

As I lay in the dark

The throbbing intensifies

bring tears to my eyes

headaches

pain

eruption

bomb

lava

explodes

The way you make me feel

Struggles

Posted on 13 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

Im struggling to come to turns
On how to deal
With the issue
At hand
I have struggle
To fight
I have struggle
To forgive & forget
Im struggling
With the issue at hand
Im crying
Im screaming
Yelling
Im struggling
Please dont give up on me
I struggle
With his death, he was so young
I struggle
With trust,
Believing
All im asking
Is not to give up on me!
God
I need You
I want You
I love how you never gave up
On me
I struggle
With so much
But you never forsake me

I actually wrote this while in hospital. The medicine and pain had me thinking! I never though I would want to share so much of me through blogging. I deleted the poem so many times!

Pain

Posted on 10 Nov 201110 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

In my body
Here & there
From head & toe
One minute its
Gone & Hello
Its back
Tears of pain
Needles, doctors
Nurses
So much pain
Someone dying in the
Room next door
A young lady giving birth
On the second floor
Tears of joy
So much pain
Around me

Forgiving

Posted on 6 Nov 20116 Nov 2011 by poeticjourney

I’m on a journey to learn to forgive and forget. It’s a battle within myself. I know if I forgive it would be so much better right now. Sometimes when someone takes you through so much, it makes you go cold all over. If I can’t forgive I’m not doing right by GOD.

Forgive

I’m trying to forgive you

I’m trying to let go and

Move on.

So much animosity

In my hear towards you

Is not settling right

How can I forgive?

And accept you in

My heart once again

Forgiving and letting

The past be the past

I guess you haven’t forgave

Yourself, since you still

Stuck in your selfish ways

Learning to Forgive

So I can be right

With myself and God

Forgiving and Forgetting

Is a journey in itself?

I have struggle a few times

And overcome it as well

I’m taking the anger out my

Heart and replacing it

With love of forgiveness

In the book of Matthew 18:21-22

Then came Peter to him and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee. Until seven times; but, Until seventy times seven.

No matter how many times they let you down we got to forgive them. reading this I see I have a lot to work on. I know with God help I will learn to forgive. God Bless 🙂
