Peace

They say sleep is for the weak,
But some people are actually physically weak,
Mentally and spiritually weak,
That all they want to do is be in their bed sheets,

But being in their bed sheets isn't enough,
They want to sleep when life gets rough,
They don't want to experience things when they get tough,

Being awake is draining,
With all the drama, the pain it's always raining,
There isn't a brighter day,
But they hold onto that hope and stay,

Hoping that things will change,
Hoping for a better day,
Whilst awake they question whether it's worth the pain,
Whether it's worth staying,
Whether they can go another day,

They feel like they can't but don't want to cause further pain,
By leaving their family in the rain,
So all they want to do is sleep,
Sleep for as long as they can so they don't feel weak,
Sleep so they don't have to overthink,
Sleeping brings peace and gives you dreams,

Waking up means dealing with your heart aching,
Your mind overflowing, it's slowly overtaking,
They're not being lazy it's not what it seems,
What they're feeling can not be seen,
It's deeper than sleeping its peace, a glimpse of what could be.

13 reasons why

What if I can't hum on key? That's another reason for people to laugh at me What if my melodies are the one nobody hears The stream will be flowing with all my tears I can finally get rid of all of my fears I can get rid of this hurt from all of these years They find harmonies in their laughter When my life is a complete disaster Their linked elbows echoes in tune Whilst I'm all alone in my bedroom Believing that I'll make friends soon But sadly that isn't true What if the only way not to feel bad is to stop feeling anything at all, forever? Instead of feeling this way I can feel a little better Many people think how you feel can change just like the weather But no this, what I feel is different Everyone wants to talk but nobody wants to listen Maybe if people listened things will be different Maybe I wouldn't have to become so distant When you feel bad they ask you for the reason But what if it's not just one reason but many reasons?

Saved

I went to sleep just like every other night, I shut my eyes, no prayer came to mind, The dream I had was so vivid, It felt so real I thought it was lucid, But that's where I went wrong, No this isn't a dream this is another realm, I was in the exact same position I went to sleep in, The exact same room layout, how could I possibly be dreaming? But I couldn't move, I couldn't leave, My room was pitch black I couldn't see a thing, I tried to turn on the light's but it just wasn't happening, I didn't understand what was going on with me, I reached for my phone but I couldn't reach it, To call for help, someone please stop this, This wasn't sleep paralysis, this was something else, It didn't feel right, I was all by myself, I couldn't leave my bed but every time that I did, I'd end up back inside it, it was so weird, I was on my back sliding on the floor, Trying and trying to get closer to that door, I tried to sc

He Has Risen!

Did you know that he has risen?  From death to the tomb to new life and beginnings,  From gifting us with the beautiful Holy Spirit, Once leaving us to be the witnesses, We witnessed the most beautiful thing, Christ has risen, he is King, He is the almighty, our majesty, He’s so powerful can’t you see? Why do you doubt the things which he does? Why do you doubt the words spoken over you? When someone can raise themselves from the dead, There’s nothing that can stop them, they were dead! Meaning that anything is possible with God, Matthew 19:26, nothing stops our Lord, The resurrection was prophesied about and came to pass, His words remain forever, they’ll always last!
