Out Of Hiding: A Poem

I don't want to expose myself, I'll be too open.

Out Of Hiding: A Poem

Your arms opened wide is tempting acceptance is the underlying tone

I hear the message clear a day saying come home

My son and shame plasters on a cross

Knowing to gain my soul you had to suffer such a great loss

You made it easy to love you because you're good

You took my debt continuing to stand in the place I should

I know you sacrifice is great but these walls feel so much greater you're always standing firm but it's me I constantly waiver

You should've given up on me a long time ago but your grace shines through my imperfections and mercy you always show

I don't deserve it

So I'll hide

It's easier that way hiding was meant to protect

But in the process, it separated you from me

It's my biggest defense when I feel the most guilty

So I'll cover my sin

Put it in a pretty bow

Raise it in my hands like I'm raising my worship

Present it in such a way you'll forget my faults

Fine once again I'll unlock this vault

I don't want to expose myself I'll be too open

Revolving doors seem so familiar love gone and trust broken

But you stay unlike so many others you stay

You've given me no resin to run away

I'm scared of your life because I've never experienced consistency

But the song of love that you sing is such a beautiful

Symphony

I have thousand reasons to give up but you've given me one to hang on you went to your death for me

To erase the line in the sand that had been drawn

I say look at my sin and you say look at my love

And I say I'm not good and you say you're enough

I say look at these scars you say look at those testimonies

I say I'm no good and you say you're beautiful to me

I cry because I'm not strong and comfort saying I never had to be and I break because I wasn't really held together and you say it's because you weren't the center of me.

So my nerves calm and our peace sets in my control ends and your will begins

I've found my place there's no need to roam God your daughter she's finally coming home

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
