Spoken Word: Crouching Strength 24May2023


To Live Or Not is the KNOT in my throat that keeps me float-ing from yes to no.

Ebb and Flow. I Just Don’t Know!

The WEIGHT of this burden commands me to WAIT

On making my life’s END be the START of more pain.

Who will know? Everybody!

The mask That I wear is fading

The features of my fear illum-in-ating

The darkness… taking beats of my heart

To STEAL just a little bit more of me.

I’m degrading. Be STILL My Heart. Overwhelmed.

My Will to Live… My Courage to Die.

In constant Struggles with

My Courage to Live…. and My Will To Die!

The Back and Forth Reveals The Lie

Of the voice inside offering options That Can’t Tie

To My PEACE of Mind.

Instead, I am in PIECES.

Broken. Shattered.

Scattered like Rubbish After A Holiday Parade.

Noone Marches for ME. I See…

Darkness Descends Upon Every Part Of My Life.

No Wife. No Partner in Crime. I’m Running out of Time

Maybe I will never reach the Sublime. No Shine.

Dear God Please Rescue Me,

I’m tired. Im Worn. Yet still Blessed TO BE.

I Cannot, I Will Not Be Bound, BUT FREE.

Whether in This Life or Eternity.

My Need For Peace is only Trumped By HE…

Who Gives Me Life, Health and Liberty.

Jesus, The Christ…. MY SANITY.

I’m Sorry God. Please forgive My Plea.

Your Will. Your Way. Your Magesty.

I am Your Son, I will wait PATIENTLY

As Your PATIENT —- I Am Healed… Waiting for THEE

Already Nailed to the Calvary Tree. The Cross.

My Depression (Desperation) is Pow-er-ful-ly… Toxic.

Reverse The Cower, the Crouching in Fear.

I Feel You Ever So Near. Overcoming Adversity.

I CHOOSE TO LIVE!!!
