The Bubble
Puzzle pieces scattered everywhere
Feeling alone in the horde
Tormenting sentiments
Fear
Carrying the weight of information
The eyes and fingers hurt
Sick and tired
Confused
Body parts suffering in pain
From far before and now
Don’t come closer
Protection
Each holds the solution
The bind for the other
But the anticipation
Judgment
The mirror causes pain with reflections
Why so incomplete within
Something is missing
Unsatisfied
What if the pieces unite in blasting hastily
Why is there no completeness
Honoring differences
Unify
Vicious gain power with lies
Halving the pieces
Keep in fakeness
Delusion
The power constantly overlooked
Walls were built around each
Together only in concept
Yet in private bubbles
Feeling incomplete
Expires
– Edna Freeman
Screen Troops
Cry out loud for the crowd
Thy realness craves calm
Say and do what is told
Hiding the gold
Looking like a marching troop
Creating loops in the mirror
Don’t know the reflection
Unattainable perfection
Believing the lie
The troops die
– Edna Freeman
Canceled and Free
Ignored and alone, my heart felt like a stone In a world that’s so cruel, my spirit felt like a fool Society’s judgment, a heavy weight to bear, and my dreams no longer there.
Time passed on. My heart began to mend. I found a new strength, a glimmer of hope. There was a chance to start anew and to find my voice to be true to myself and who.
I found peace in the silence and strength in my skin. I let go of the past and let the future begin.
New opportunities came when I least expected them. I took a leap of faith, and my life did ascend.
The opinions of the storms do not define me. So let them cancel; let them cast aside. I stand tall and proud. It’s not about what they say. It’s about who I am and the person I choose to be today.
Rescued by His hands
In darkness I once did roam
evil had me as its own
But love came to me so divinely even before I was born
I am His, and He called me.
He saved me from the grip of night
He rescued me with all his might and patience
He led me to the light teaching me to be better every night
His love, so strong, so pure and true
Gave his son to save me, yes it’s true
I am free now, no longer alone I know how loved I am
I have grown
The love of God, it shines so brightly
It guides me through the darkest night
I am grateful for his saving grace
Now I live with a smile on my face
