I'm a little sad today. There is no real reason why, other than the fact that I'm trying to deal with so much at once; trying to be realistic yet full of faith, trying to be mature yet submissive like a child. Trying to do the Lord's will but also trying to fight my own. It's quite tiring and sometimes depressing. Yeah, I know I said I can handle anything that comes my way; and I'm not retracting that statement. But there are times when I'm just too tired to remain fully alert. It is difficult to constantly keep myself on guard...from myself. It's exhausting to fight off negative emotions and constantly remind yourself of your blessings. It shouldn't be hard, but it is, especially when you are weighed down with so much.

Well, as all my avid readers know *wink* I like to put down song lyrics in my blog, especially those that reflect my thoughts or my mood. I haven't written poetry in a long time, so I'm not trying my hand at that currently, but rather using poetry or lyrics that have already been written.

With or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you

Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you

With or without you

Through the storm we reach the shore
You give it all but I want more
And I’m waiting for you

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you

And you give yourself away...


My hands are tied
My body bruised, she’s got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose

And you give yourself away...

With or without you
With or without you
I can’t live
With or without you
