AN ADDICT ALONE ABANDON LORD HEAR OUR CRIES THE NIGHT I CRIED IN SILENCE WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND MY STRUGGLE OF ACCEPTANCE IN THE NEW WORLD WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR:
The Dream HE HUNTS ME IN MY sleep. He is firm, mysterious, and filled with anger and despair. The dream feels surreal. I am running and running, my legs are weakening, my body tightens, and my heart beats fast in fear. I cannot believe that this strange man is chasing me with an ax. I ask myself the questions, what does this dream mean? Am I running away from a problem that I am afraid to face in reality? Or, is this some form of uncongeniality where my enemies are
near to attack? The thought of succumbing to defeat is not an option. I must prepare with caution. This stranger in my dream is coming nearer and nearer. As I turn to release a blow my body awakens and my heart pounds with intensity. My body is sweating continuously. I am shaken with fear. Oh Lord, what does this dream mean; is it just an illusion of my imagination or, is it the reality that danger is near?
That Dark Night AS I KNEEL DOWN AND pray for forgiveness, the guilt burns inside of me. I ask myself how a woman can walk away from the child she bore and call herself a child of God. I fear closing my eyes at night because I can still visualize the tears in her eyes. This is a pain I wish no mother to bear. I can still hear my child’s loud screams at night and see the resentment in her eyes the night I left her in a familiar place. The church was so
peaceful; I knew that my child would be safe. But it was like I was the enemy that night. There is a part of me that regrets using the church as a safe haven because I was incapable of providing for my child at the time. They say that people reap what they sow. Today my child is a successful married woman with children of her own. But that dark night still haunts her, as well as me. My daughter will never forget or forgive her mother for the night I abandoned her. Regrettably, in her mind I will always be a foe.
A Wondering Soul I SEARCHED FOR TRANQUILITY IN more ways than one, but yet it is still hard to reach. My soul wonders from place to place without fear or stability. Once I thought I found a home near by the countryside with birds, bees, and trees. The atmosphere seemed so calm and relaxing but yet my soul was still not at peace. I often wondered how many miles and land most one travel to have their soul at placidity. I have to question could I be a loner or just a wondering soul with no
steady place to call a home?
Heavenly Father OH HEAVENLY FATHER, I PRAY every night that you will relieve me of my despair. The burden gets stronger and stronger. I do not know how much longer I can bear my struggles. Oh Lord please release these unwanted tussles. Heavenly Father, please hear my prayers and grant a way for me to get out of this unbearable dilemma. This enigma is a challenge I cannot endure any longer. I have learned that for every pain in life there is always a lesson to learn. Oh
Lord, please open a way so I can count your many blessings.
The Wind is Like My Life THE WIND IS BLOWING FIERCELY. I can feel my body drifting. I am trying to hold on but my body is moving swiftly. It was a struggle to get home safely. Imagine a powerful force taking total control of your body. It moves you in directions you do not want to go. You want to move to the right but the wind is moving you to the left. You want to scream in frustration, hoping that the wind will release you. My body is drained from being attached to this
powerful force. Sometimes when I lay in bed at night, I remember the dreadful force of the wind. I often think to myself that the wind and my husband must be friends. Oh, when will this nightmare end?
A Fool in Love I WAS A FOOL TO believe that my love will never end. They say that those who are blinded by love are oblivious to the imperfections of the one they love. They believe that there is no man or woman better or can even come close to the one they love. A fool in love believes every word and lie their lover say. They praise them daily without considering the consequences of their blindness. All that matters is that they are in love. Sadly I was delusional; I fell head over heals in love. In my eyes he could
do no wrong. I was unaware of the reality of true love. I guess I should be grateful that I did not succumb to despair and destruction. Some people tend to seek revenge when their love affair ends. They just cannot understand that it is better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. One may ask themself the questions, how could I have been so foolish? How could I have allowed this to happen to me? But sometimes we fail to realize that when you love someone more than you love yourself you will always be a fool in love.
Heartache THERE IS NO HEARTACHE MORE hurtful than loving someone that does not love you back. It does not matter how much you try to make them notice you they will not love you back. There may be a part of you that feels foolish, while the other part of you feels overwhelm with emotions. But there is nothing that you can do when his or her feelings are not returned to you. Longing for someone that does not know that you exist is possibly one of the worst heartaches to wish upon your worst enemy.
