I Look to the stars
searching for Your love.
I look to the heavens
wanting to feel You.
God I'm trapped in this world of pain,
in a world of hate.
I want to change things,
but who am I?
I listen to the music
trying to hear Your voice.
I talk to my friends
speaking Your word to them.
but, God I'm trapped in this world of pain,
in a world of hate.
I want to change things
but who am I?
and I'm trapped within these worldly limitations
but I want to change,
I'm going to change!
I wanna go where you lead me
I wanna be a guiding light
I wanna spread your word
Morning, noon and night.
I wanna open doors for people
I wanna go wherever,
Wherever you lead me God.
God come and fill me up
Guide me in your word
Give me strength to do your will
and be with me everyday.
I wanna share what you've done in me
I wanna share the grace you gave
I wanna walk in your presence Lord
and bring people out of their caves.
I wanna give people hope
I wanna go wherever
Wherever you lead me God.
A solitary tear
It winds its way through a broken heart
And down a pale, shallow cheek
She weeps silently, so no one will know
But I hear her.
I hear her silent cry echo across the sea.
She torments herself over and over again
With the questions
She is dying
Dying to be thin enough
Dying to be pretty enough, smart enough, talented enough…
Dying to be loved enough
She tells herself she's OK
But she longs, more than anything, to tell someone how she's not
How she's dying
I want, so very much, to wrap my arms around her
To tell her I know…. And I still love her
How I died to save her from dying
Will she never trust me?
I saw w
Tears will come,
But slowly and few;
Only shed in vain.
And I ask,
What did I do to deserve this?
I try to help,
But little help is received;
Most just rejected.
And I ask,
What did I do to deserve this?
I kneel down and pray,
But prayer seems to only go so far
And seems pointless when not wanted.
And I ask,
What did I do to deserve this?
Why God?
Why won't you help them?
Why won't you lead them?
And teach them?
Why won't you help them?
I saw your wrist,
as it was erased.
Couldn't sense it.
Dissolved into space.
Each cut was proof,
of what I already knew.
You had gone.
How it tore me apart,
to see you falling away.
It was not yet your time,
to abandon this place.
It is not our choice of time,
to leave ourselves.
You didn't mean it,
cold shivers twisting.
Wished to forfeit,
depress to dust and filings.
Faith slept, somehow.
Veins bled great lengths before now,
in your tears.
How it tore me apart,
to see you falling away.
It was not yet your time,
to abandon this place.
It is not our choice of time,
to leave ourselves.
I should have fought harder.

I shed a tear
For every pill that was taken
I shed a tear
For every mark that was made
You are the very thing
That makes me live to the next day
Don't throw this life away.
My heart breaks
With every ungrateful word you say
My heart breaks
With every hint of wanting to die
You are the very thing
That makes me live to the next day
Don't throw this life away.
Why is it always the ones I like
That seem to want to leave?
Why is it always the ones that mean the most
That seem to want to leave?
You are the very thing
That makes me live to the next day
Don't throw this life away.
You are the very thing
That makes me live to the

I look at you, tears in my eyes
and I must confess this:
"unconditional love sees only beauty."
Your beauty is unmatched
Not another word from our lips,
yet your eyes speak
of a love so much deeper
than can ever be spoken
but must not yet be revealed.
Your eyes filled me with warmth
so many times promised before
Now we are warm again,
may I never forget.
And as I shall never forget the warmth,
you shall never forget that I will be here.
Always here for you, to comfort you
and to love you.
I will always be here, waiting.
Waiting to see you smile again,
waiting to hear you laugh,
waiting to see your eyes like they were that

I suppose many people around newhope (https://www.deviantart.com/newhope) are getting ready to go back to school, indeed many of you have already started classes. Actually, although I have not started classes I am already living on the campus of the University of Northern Colorado. I am taking part in a 4 day camp which is preparing us to be leaders on campus which means that I have heard a lot about goal setting, working hard, staying away from drugs etc, and on and on as you may imagine. In doing one goal setting exercise I put down goals like: Getting a 3.6 GPA, going to class, doing
