Don't Lose Heart, Keri


Is it possible for eyes to lose their color?
Is it possible for a picture to fade?
You long for light to come through your heart.
You long for love to find away.

You beat yourself up
For hitting the ground.
You put yourself down
For not being strong enough.

Here love is to save you.
Just waiting for you to stay.
You keep praying for true love,
But everyone has turned away.
There is a story to be told
After years of being broken.
This is what the future holds:
A love so pure and golden.

Your eyes will be the brightest blue.
Your beauty will shine right through
Your heart will be made anew.
The greatest kind of love will come to you.

Don't lose heart.

Sunrise Shout

Where do I go from here?
I feel lost.
I'm losing myself to fear.
The light is gone.

Gray. Gray. Gray.
Everything I fight for
Fades away, away.
The fire is no more.

I'm running towards the shots
Trying so hard to find the answer.
But the door is secured by padlock
And my desperate hands turn it over.

The sunrise;
Is it a promise?
Silence.
No answer.
Silence.

'Cause Baby, It's Just Worthless

I know I should be working on editing my play-script for my English class, but I really don't feel like it. We have three more classes devoted to editing one of our previous assignments, and honestly, the one I chose doesn't need a whole lot of work. You could say I haven't been pushing so hard in school this semester, but I just feel like it's all worthless. Pointless. I don't really have the desire to continue in college. But I know I must finish it eventually. It's best to have a degree. But Ivy Tech has made it impossible for me to graduate in two years like I should be.

Honestly, I have been so down and out. More so with every passing day. Maybe to an unhealthy measure, I don't know. I don't really trust the psychology test I had to take anyway. If it was wrong about more than one thing, then it's faulty. Unreliable. I am in a deep rut, and I don't know how to get out.

Do you ever feel like you are just pushed aside having to watch everything happen to you? There's no way of stopping or going. You just have to watch, like your life is on a screen. I feel so far away from everything. So distant. Whatever I fight for or desire or long for, it goes away or vanishes or slips right through my hands. Everything leaves. Everyone leaves. I give myself away to help, to save, to provide, to advise... but in vanity. I'm left with nothing. So what about me? Why must I give all I have for someone to get what they need? Don't I count for anything? Where do I come into play? When will someone give all themselves to me? Never... It's whispered in my ear, NEVER. You will never belong. You will never be remembered. You will never be trusted. You will never be loved. Lies? Are these lies?

Yes, lies. They have to be, I tell myself. But not all of them are. If I were ever meant to belong, I would have belonged at some point somewhere. But I don't. And I won't. I don't understand why someone I did everything I could to show them I loved them, show them they belonged when they were with me, that they have so much purpose and meaning...they didn't find me worth holding onto, they didn't love me in return, they didn't make me belong and wouldn't let me help them. It hurts and tortures me like hell. This is my hell. And I have the scars to prove it.

I have a bone to pick with you, God. If you even listen to me anymore, take me home. I don't want to be here. I don't want to play this game of life.
