    All the Most Wonderful Things Are God

    I was just thinking about this in my kitchen while listening to Amy Winehouse’s seminal Back in Black. She co-wrote every song she ever recorded. I miss her. I get it though. Her flame was meant to shine very brightly, yet briefly. I’m thankful for what she gave us. But I thanked God for her.…

    No one has to hear your storyFor your story to be important.No one needs to give approval.You were approved at birth.Worth more than any money is theLove you feel and share.Hate and negative energyWon’t get you anywhere.

    You

    Your life isn’t about you Ben,And you have always known this.It’s about all the others’ lives you can make better.But you have to fix you, to fix the world.It’s time to stop trying to fix everyone else,And focus on You.

    Another Poem Called “Staying Alive”

    I wrote so much the past few days I sandbagged poems so that I wasn’t posting too much. I like to spread it out a little. Anyway I promise I will start writing more positive poems. I don’t know why I feel better but I started feeling a little better last night. I’m still in…

    Praying to You

    I’m trying to be sincere, I just wantGod to hold me near.Save me from this Hell I’m inI’m drowning here again.Please, Lord, give me your strength.I’m cracking up at length.I don’t know how to go on living.I dedicate my life to giving.Please just whisper in my heart.I know you’re there, God,That’s a start.And tell me…

  • Do Me a Favor

    Read this aloud, or in your head if you must, but with lots of emotion behind it, because that’s how it sounds to me in my head when I read it. Just in the voice of this absolutely insane person I happen to still think I am for some bizarre reason. God just put on…

  • It Just Occurred To Me

    It Just Occurred To Me

    And this is helpful: that the people who are no longer in my life either through their choice or mine, because I once thought myself better than them, now think that they are better than me. They are sure of it. But I don’t think either of those things anymore. Everyone is God. We’re all…

  • Needs

    God takes care of all my needsAnd God always will.It’s hard to put my faith into this.The worry is so real.But this is the truth.God always provides.And God always protects.I have to remind myself of this all the time.Life can become such a wreck.

    Hello little frog I wonderDo you know you’re God?Sitting on the window pane?Motionless as a log?I can’t help feeling envy, frogYour cares seem so, so minor.And mine seem insurmountable.Your life seems so much finer.

  • Shakespeare

    “Shakespeare was real and thus historic.”Then why the mystery around this person?We know that he was 33 when he purchased his first house.And that 33 is Masonic. Of that there is no doubt.And I’m not the only person questioning if this man was real.I suspect Shakespeare existedBut was illiterate. The dealIs someone else wrote all…

  • Never Alone

    Never Alone

    You’re never really alone at all.God is with you always.The rise is preceded by the fall.Rabbit in the hallway.Sometimes it hurts so much to be,But I grew a buttload, didn’t I?And you’re not regressing,Or stopping obsessingWith giving praise to the Big Guy.

  • In My Head

    It’s like God said in my head,“I’ve got to make you tougher.If you don’t do it now,Your life will get much rougher.The pain is meant to strengthen youIf it would break you I would not.Learn to endure, then rise above.It’s the only chance you’ve got.”
