(sometimes the words of others are just aching to be shared, I present, "Forever No More" by Mary J Blige)
Forever No More
No more invisible speechless, deaf and blind child
With neglected pleasures being addicted to denial
Floating through time, gravitating towards a warm arm
With an appetite for the emptiness that promises no harm
No more uncontrollable eruptions of emotional depression
A primal s.o.s. from the barren prison or selfless expression that only the guilty with innocent
Souls-know buried in social scar tissue of defective ego
No more relentless sifting through bodies seeking self
Settling through competitive combat for what’s left on the shelf
A mad melee of supply and demand driven by gullible pride that leads to sedating the you that suffocates inside
No more - forever no more - because i’ve unshut my eyes
and the difference betweens Gods words and mans wills was realized
seeing opposing parallel lives some liquid, other frozen
Let me to never seek from man what God has chosen
Then the negative whispering subsided
and the panicking ceased the undercurrent suppression of pent-up terror was released
as the mystery of the unknown manifested pristine clear
A positive message of truth entered my ear
Now, across me face is a brand new smile
With a newly revealed meaning of a destined child
A message of hope is being released from my heart
And I am overwhelmed with dedication to do my part
All I ever wanted was to be as I once was - unbounded
Somehow it got all twisted and before long sounded
As though life was a continuous connive-thrive-drive
Choking out the simple joy of just being alive
Now I am filled with love and I sing a love songA song for yesterday, today, tomorrow and beyond
My new prayer is- thank you God for setting me free
And thank you God for giving me back me
