White Rabbit: my theme
"One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all"
Yes, my theme song was this
1970's
The pills my mother gave me did nothing
So I went in her draws to find the little pills
Valium for the euphoria, Codeine for pain & more euphoria
The high school years start..more pills, "Black Beauties" for the rush, Cocaine "feel I can do anything" Pot to mellow down..
Yup that was my theme...it's not now but I have to stay "green" and remember because I don't want... "Go ask Donna when she's ten feet tall"...
anymore....
Steady My Heart
Wish it could be easy
Why is life so messy?
Why is pain a part of us?
There are days I feel like
Nothing ever goes right
Sometimes it just hurts so much
But You're here
You're real
I know I can trust You
Life is hard, messy, pain is part of everyday life
But
God is real .
Just like what the chorus said
Even when it hurts
Even when it's hard
Even when it all just falls apart
I will run to You
'Cause I know that You are
Lover of my soul
Healer of my scars
You steady my heart
No matter how hard my life is
God is always present to comfort me, heal me and most of all steady my heart.
Whatever may come my way
I am not going to worry
He got me inside His hand
Every moment
Bad and good
whatever gets broken or good everything happens just the way He planned.
God is real
I know I can trust Him
He Steady my Heart
Perfect Strangers
You do remember me, don't you?
I am the kid you never met in High School.
I am that friend you had in Middle School, whose name you can't seem to remember.
I am the greasy spoon waiter you stiffed when you forgot your wallet.
I am the bum that is always begging for bus money, even if he has nowhere else to go.
I am the hero you idolized when you were little, and the one you pretended not to when you got older.
I am the flashing face of every charity you have ever pitied.
I am the figure you were too scared to walk by at night, and the one you avoided in the day.
I am the one you smiled at when we bumped into each other in the grocery store, the one that helped you pick up what you had dropped.
I am the man in the bleachers with a beer-stained jersey, cheering a little too loudly for a team he has never actually met.
I am the kid in the back row who never said a word, the one who kept looking back at the floor every time you noticed him.
I am the hitchhiker you were always told not to pick up, or the one you were always too busy to help.
I am the driver of every passing car.
I am a blurred image in an endless crowd.
I am every face you have forgotten.
I am every presence you never noticed.
I am every story you have never heard.
So
You do remember me now,
Don't you?
I call this “Eh”
Eh is the color of Zoe's hair,
Eh is her opinion when we ask if she'll care,
Eh is what she think broccoli tastes like,
Eh is her opinion on Season 1 on "Psych",
Everything is Eh when it comes to her,
Eh can even be a cat that starts to pur,
You think that's it's great but she just says it's eh,
Not super duper, cool, or even boring meh,
Eh, eh, eh, eh,eh,
Screw this poem, it's eh.
Rock Bottom - Eminem
The song that is the theme of my life right now would probably be Rock Bottom by Eminem. I may not be going through everything that he mentions in the song, but I feel like I've reach Rock Bottom in my life right now. I have no motivation, no job, and no partner to share my love and happiness with.
Man in the Wilderness - Styx
The lyrics speak for themselves....
Another year has passed me by
Still I look at myself and cry
What kind of man have I become?
All of the years I've spent in search of myself
And I'm still in the dark
'Cause I can't seem to find the light alone
Ten thousand people look my way
But they can't see the way that I feel
Nobody even cares to try
I spend my life and sell my soul on the road
And I'm still in the dark
'Cause I can't seem to find the light alone
Sometimes I feel like a man in the wilderness
I'm a lonely sailor lost at sea
Drifting with the tide
Never quite knowing why
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
(I'm alive)
Looking for love I'm a man with emotion
(Heart's on fire)
I'm dying of thirst in the middle of the ocean
I'm alive!
Joyful Song of Hope
My life is a song with a theme of joyful hope woven through every single moment. Joyful because of knowing who I am and that I am loved even in my worst state. And that same love lifts me higher and speaks hope in my ear, building a capacity in my heart to trust and go forward in victory.
I am blessed also because that love is strong for me when I am weak and carries me when I can not stand. "I am my Beloved's and He is mine". His love is unconditional. The theme of His grace is singing in the depths of my heart and soul. I am overcome by this love that has so completely governed my life that anyone who knows me knows the theme of my life.
