The Rag Doll

I sit slumped on the shelf staring out into the street
I glance at my left and envy the perfect body of the Barbie
I glance to my right and admire the talkative teddy
He speaks words of love to everybody
I catch my reflection on the bumper of the fire engine across me
My electric red hair is array
A half painted smile is on my face
My huge eyes are framed by 4 lashes
My body is limp and without form
A small heart is painted on my chest
I  have no voice to reveal whats in my heart
I have no special features
Just myself
I stare out the window my heart bursting with desire
Desire to be picked, out of all the shiny, beauty around me
Out of all the cuddly toys
To be loved as myself
Not having to change
I wait
Day in and day out
Sunrise to sunset
I wait for the day excitement will cross a face
She will grab me from the shelf and hold me tight against her heart
Not wanting to let go she will take me home
Part of her life i will live
Arms wrapped around me bring security
Desire to be with me bring joy
I will be the object of her affections forever
I wait for that day
Patiently I wait for that day

Save Me! Help Me! Pick Me!

I can barely breathe Tears roll down my cheeks Unanswered questions Unmet expectations Dashed hopes All leave me senseless Words you spoke haunt me Save me! The darkness is closing in Save me! The fire is burning Save me! I am drowning Drowning in sorrow My strength is drained My resolve is weak My voice is mute Help me! As I face the giant before me Help me! As I struggle to stand Help me! To know that I am not alone I am not alone I cannot do this on my own A rag doll slumped in the corner Pick me up Hold me tight Protect me in your arms Want me  Fill me with joy Pick me! Out of all the toys in the store Pick me! Breathe life into me! I will dance  I will sing for you Call me by name Make me yours Forever You have bought me with a price I am yours I am yours You have picked me!

My Cry

Dear Lord, Help me When the pain is crushing And the tears threaten to spill  When rage and jealousy consumes me Quiet me with your love Do not allow hatred to destroy me And take residence in my heart Help me to see beyond my pain To what you are doing Give me your eyes to see my circumstances The fire that is refining me Though painful, will make me pure Though i feel as if i cannot go on When waves of doubt and fear threaten to drown me Help me to know that you will not leave me in my weakness That in my weakness you are my strength I am not alone Your hand is ready to grasp mine Your strong arm is not too short to save You are carrying me through this storm Help me to be secure in your love for me Secure in my identity in you Help me to love those who crush me To show kindness and compassion To those who plot my downfall Help me to walk in your light Allow me to experience your love To know without a doubt Your a...

I Look to You

When grief is a drowning ocean I look to you When my world is in turmoil I look to you When my shattered heart refuses to beat I look to you When pain is my constant companion I look to you When sorrow is my food I look to you When tears freely fall I look to you When anguish threatens to tear apart I look to you When the future is bleak I look to you When happiness and joy have lost their way I look to you When peace is an elusive memory I look to you When fear and uncertainty whisper I look to you When memories start fading I look to you When the strength to get out of bed has vanished I look to you When regrets torment me  I look to you When the longing swells within I look to you When hopelessness abounds I look to you I look to you My rock and my salvation My fortress and refuge My ever present help in times of trouble The rock I cling to The hope that will not fail I look to you I trust in you
