The strong ones

So much emotion swells within me;

but what to do of it?

Hurt emotions and feelings passed by unattended

Under the plastic wrapping of,

‘there just small things’

Tears locked within surrounded by a concrete wall

People who said they would be there for you

Don’t have the time to listen

Every man caught up in his agenda

What of you?

You hearts dreams? Your biggest fears? Deepest secrets?

To whom do You confined these?

No, not to the ones who promise to be there for you

But to the ones who don’t

The ones who allow their tears to roll in front of you;

And the ones who don’t have a brave face

They are the real strong ones

For within that fragile wall

There is comfort, assurance and strength

These ones are more than what some of us pretend to be

A Change From Within

Once so happy to see a new face

Now terrified of what you might say

Once filled with an overwhelming joy to see you

Now filled with absolute dullness

I once wasn’t afraid to express myself

Now I’m afraid to tell

I could never find the tears to express myself

Now I fight to keep them from rolling down my cheeks

I always put on a brave face for another

Now I’m afraid of unveiling myself

I don’t know who I am anymore

Trapped between who I was and who I’m turning out to be

Insecurity surrounds me at every turn

Something in is dying

I just don’t know what it is yet

Lord, help me for I feel far

This struggle within me I can no longer harness

I’m losing control, I cannot contain;

The person I’m becoming

Teach me and guide me Lord

To be the person You want me to be.
