Wasn't sure where to post this, but I guess here is as good a place as any...
I used to write alot...I mean like every day I would write. And some of it, I really got attached to...For some reason, I have had the urge to read through all my old stuff lately, and I was wondering if God maybe couldn't use some of it, although I didn't know how. Recently I found a place where I could use it...I stumbled on a secular site, and they love poetry over there. So I decided to use some of that stuff (cause some of it is still pretty spiritual even tho I was so lost at the time) to kinda show people what God brought me out of.

I posted this one yesterday, and as I posted it, I realized something about it that I never had before. Well, I'll post it and then explain:

late

on the edge of nothingness I
never thought it would be like this but
unforseen surges of quiet bliss rush through me in waves
crash over my head until I drown
just watch me now as I go down further into the
abyss of endlessnes and you know I am too late to save
me please before I fall if you can reach my hand at all
the years I spent fighting battles that I always lost
my head forgot what was the cost of living--dying
alone is my worst fear and I wish so bad that you were near
me now is it too much to ask of you to just forget my past
mistakes I made so many and I wallow in my shame ashamed
to ask for help and scared that I would be denied
the chance to redeem myself because i always was so blind
but now I see the consequence and know that it's too late
I'm late for a very important date with fate
controls my destiny and I was a sucker from the start
the fire that I must face and let it burn my heart
broken in pieces and where are all the King's horses and
all the King's men when I need them?

As God's servants, we are the "King's men". His hands and feet. It is our responsibility to make sure that we are there for those around us who are hurting. I know that I have fallen severely short of this at times, and I am glad that God gave me second chances in some of the areas that He did...second chances to show my love...This kinda ties in with what Amber posted in real life about friends...and also what she posted about what would have happened if? If I would have never had those feelings, would I have ever been able to witness to others who feel the same way?

Just something to think about.

Love yall.
