deception

Posted by: Tanae' A. on: May 18, 2008

capable of deception
of the very worst kind
too much of a coward
to stab me in the front
so life takes me from behind
and like a virgin i bleed
but my soul has been scared
walking on uneven streets
faith wont take me very far
a pool of pain
growing within
and i drown in that sea
turned on by my only friend
yes, i have the power to decieve me
hurt has me addicted
for what are days without pain
and unless we go thru losing
in the end we never gain
deception of the worst kind
comes thru like gusts of wind
you can never see it
but it tears at precious skin
i smile in the face of adversity
and turn my back to things worth while
yet i still hold onto the lies of life
i am the truth’s unwanted child
wrapped up in a system
not busy enough to care
taking what i can get from others
like a single mother on welfare
and these cries are what i birth
and what i carry in my womb
these same cries that die
when i begin to push too soon
deception is no coward
it battles with force and might
but until the very death of me
im gonna stand my ground and fight

What I Write About

This Bible Verse Caught My Attention

Philippians 4:12:: I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.

Life Lessons By Carrie Underwood

There's some things that I regret, Some words I wish had gone unsaid, Some starts, That had some bitter endings, Been some bad times I've been through, Damage I cannot undo, Some things, I wish I could do all all over again, But it don't really matter, Life gets that much harder, It makes you that much stronger, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned. There's mistakes that I have made, Some chances I just threw away, Some roads, I never should've taken, Been some signs I didn't see, Hearts that I hurt needlessly, Some wounds, That I wish I could have one more chance to mend, But it don't make no difference, The past can't be rewritten, You get the life you're given, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned. And all the things that break you, Are all the things that make you strong, You can't change the past, Cause it's gone, And you just gotta move on, Because it's all, Lessons learned. [Chorus:] And every tear that had to fall from my eyes, Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night, Every change, life has thrown me, I'm thankful, for every break in my heart, I'm grateful, for every scar, Some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Oh, some pages turned, Some bridges burned, But there were lessons learned, Lessons learned.
