Here's Everything...And More.

I feel like the two most comforting words in the English language are the words "me too."

Like anyone else I go through periods of doubt. I trust God only when it's convenient...and I suffer a lot because of it. I'll do the same thing 450,000 times and fail 450,000 times, yet I STILL think on the 450,001 time my will just might win out. I STILL think my situation will change even though I don't change.

I'm always going to end up with the same substance unless I start changing the components it's comprised of.

I know that...but I haven't been doing it...and for that I feel like a fraud. I'm not getting high which granted is a huge blessing in itself but I started out as a piece of crap drug addict. Only taking the drugs out of the equation is still going to leave me as a piece of crap addict.

I say it all the time but I believe it so strongly I'm going to say it again...I feel like the two most comforting words in the English language are the words "me too." I don't have a lot of words...I don't have a lot of strength...but if you're struggling with something...I can offer a sincere and heart felt me too. I'm not alone in that struggle today...and neither are you.

I can't say where it originates

All I know is how it manifests

And lately it's been razor blades

Ripping slashes deep within my chest

It's aching doesn't have the words

My language comes up short

It's pain you only see inside

It grabs you then distorts

So everything seems upside down

Not where it's suppose to be

Now I can't hear your voice to guide

I have no eyes to see

It's circle after circle

And it's lines that never cross

It's bowing down before a throne

Addiction is your boss

I know it overtakes you

Like nothing ever could

I know inside it kills you

Like nothing ever should

But someone says you're not alone

You're never too far gone

A voice that echoes in your heart

And keeps you holding on

A ray of angels in a storm

Of suffering and sin

A strength to surface every time

You feel like giving in

A guiding hand to lift you

When you're beaten down and sore

The kind of love that offers you,

"Here's everything and more."

 

 

 

Sue and Jessica...thankyou for offering me everything....and always giving me more.
