You're welcome!

I like the line about your thoughts keeping you company. Are they good company? Or do they prop their feet on the coffee table and leave water rings from their beverages on the wood surface? Do they help clean up after snacks? Or do they leave napkins and peels lying around?

Sometimes my thoughts are very unruly. Like spoiled children. Ya know---really pouty.
Other times my thoughts are like loveable grannies---very comforting and nurturing.

What about yours?

Some times my thoughts are anxious in nature they won't, they pace about walking back in forth between one thing or another. The what ifs are the many friends that bring with them. They're uninvited and rude and don't stop comming. These are thoughts that I wish I could throw out, but once they are there its hard to get rid of them. Like a rude enemy that only wants to ruin your life with worry, fear, and never let you find any peace at all. They're always worrying about the future and how I don't have this or that and what if this happens.

Some of my thoughts are negative... they put down anything that I try to do. Its not good enough, these thoughts are like, emo teenagers trying to get me depressed, keeping me down in the mouth and refuse to let me feel even the slightest bit ok with how I am. They wear all black like gothic people and they hate any sort of positive or happy thing. They refuse to be happy in any way. They love to make me depressed, to feel like I can do nothing at all. These thoughts at times remind me that I"m not perfect other times they are like a rude relative that's pushed limits of being there. Its too much, you want to throw them out because they become a burdensome enemy.

some of my thoughts are wishful daydreamers.... they love to enjoy nature and the day. They want to relax and have fun. They're creative, and always thinking of doing something fun or artistic. Writting something, drawing, or making something. Always off in some other world, whether the past, present or the future. Though at times they refuse to live in the now, they think how things could've been or how they might be. Mostly I enjoy these thoughts and are good friends to me. Though at times they keep me from dealing with the now, and what needs to be done, becasue they're so lazy.

Some of my thoughts are joyus...seem to be silly and goofy as clowns. They enjoy things... and are content with the way things are for the most part. These thoughts are like my best friend, I enjoy having them around. When they're here I'm usually having a good time in life. Things are great in life.

Now I am.... *sighs*

will I ever learn...
how to do that which you ask
you tell me again
i wonder if I'll remember

will I ever learn...
how to really do this job
or will it be too hard for me
will I mess up..

then that'll be the end
i know to try the best I can
if that's all I can do
nothing comes out right
then I can't say I didn't try

Cries for help....
When I scream my silent plea for help
Do you hear me?
Do you see the pleas behind my eyes...
begging you.... to not look the other way
When I scream my silent plea for help

Is it over and done....
this trap and old ways sucking me in again
Is it over and done...
or will I be trapped back in the endless cycle

always hating myself wanting to be more
but never measuring up... in the end...
why do I hide... why am I afraid to speak...
when all I want to do is find a friend in you

when I scream my silent plea for help
Do you hear me?
Do you see the pleas behind my eyes
begging you .... don't look the other way
When I scream my silent plea for help

come and save me
save me from myself....
be my savior... my savior
come and save me ... from myself

when I scream my silent plea for help
hear me.... hear me...
see the pleas behind my eyes
begging you.... not to look the other way
when I scream my silent plea for help

grace amazing
by r. eric croft (c) 2003 IM3 music, unltd.

watching, praying i don't entertain temptation
my spirit's willing but alone i'm not that strong
Father, i'm begging; take my troubles far away from me
although Your will be done

broken bread and poured-out wine
when i lean on You, i'm fine
i'm a branch and You're the Vine
and i'm layin' here listenin' to the heartbeat of God

thorn in my side; irritating, selfish, foolish pride
when i'm humble You lift me up
grace amazing! in my weakness is Your perfect power
when i'm weak You make me strong

broken bread and poured-out wine
when i lean on You, i'm fine
i'm a branch and You're the Vine
and i'm layin' here listenin' to the heartbeat of God

i'm a sign! i'm a wonder!
and i'm walking in the miracle of You!
(modulate up a step from G to A)

repeat chorus: broken bread and poured-out wine
when i lean on You, i'm fine
i'm a branch and You're the Vine
and i'm layin' here listenin' to the heartbeat
stayin' here listenin to the heartbeat
prayin' here listenin to the heartbeat of God!

cantcha just see john leaning on Jesus at the last passover supper?
i have to remind myself daily that when i'm weak He makes me strong and when i lean on Him i can hear His heart beating, keeping me in perfect rhythm with Him.
again, if it sells, tithe! pm for chords

what am I doing wrong ?
have i done anything right?
am I too slow?
am I not learning fast enough?

second guessing myself
as fear paranoia takes hold of me again
I've only just started
am I wrong to question

I don't want to loose this
I need this job....
I like it here...
hate to think that I could loose it

maybe I'm a fool to question
maybe I'm a fool to fear
but if you give me one more chance
I can show you that I can do better


worries about my job... this is my second week... and well I only have 3 days so far? little worried I guess.... I'm hoping that'll change... I guess... I'm worried that I'm not doing well enough for them. I think I'm doing ok... I'm learning... I can do the cones now. I know my flurries... just about backwards and forwards. I know about just everything except for the food... but that's cuz you never taught me at least not yet really.

Sorry needed to vent. I just I like it there and I don't want to mess things up.

Sighs.... I think this thread is dead for the most part.

alone with my thoughts
the deafing silence
that is so heavy
it suffocates me

breaking it would be release
yet at the same moment
it seems that to do so
would almost be wrong
but right in the same instant

if I were to speak...
who is listening
who is really listening
to me ...

so selfish am I
so self seeking
me and I .... me and I
what I want... what I need
it is nothing this me

invisible...
unseen....
as it should be...
simply unanswered

invisible cloak
the heavy blanket
unable myself to remove it
I can't do it alone

people look past me
unimportant.... unoticed
walk by walk away
i don't matter
why should they care

so the loneliness
devours me
swallowing me whole
i am lost to it
i can't escape it

invisible me
no one sees
if I disapeared
no one would notice
at least not here

Just thought I'd write one more thing here....*scratches head... not sure why* LOL maybe cuz I'm desperate for someone elses attention. That I can actually share my thoughts and feelings here without fear of someones reaction really. Still probably just a selfish foolish attempt to want and get some sort of attention, like maybe writting here will ease some of the pain that haunts me in my loneliness.

I advise you to watch Neon Genesis Evangelion if you haven't done so already. You will see why I recommend this if you give it a go.

Ok. I just found this thread. In answer to the question from a long time ago about copywrites for the US ... ( don't know if you got your answer or not) The cost is around $30 per poem,song and so on. You can send them in at poetry.com and they will publish them, copywrite them in your own name. They will try to get you to buy the book that your work is published in but it is a little pricey.
Tell me what ya'll think of this one.


My King

You are my King, noble and true
I am but a servant, kneeling before you
I tremble in awe of your majesty and grace
Then I see the love shining in your face

I stand before you, as you look at me
Seeing something only you can see
You see my heart and all that's there
As I stand before you, my soul is bared

As you look at me you say, in gentle tones
"you are my child, my chosen one
Live for me as I died for you
With righteousness, faith, and love that's true

I gave my life to set you free
Now, through your life, let others see me
For i now live in you night and day
And I walk with you each step of the way

I am the Christ, your chosen Lord
Now, live for me, not the world!

Its a good poem the only thing I see which is a tiny error, close the quote after world.

thanks... yea I tried that once.... my folks just thought the poem.com was just a scam. So they wouldn't let me do anything with it. Idk if its a scam or not, but my folks won't let me do any of it.
Still $30 per poem seems pricy enough.

Still reading your posts :)


Rose Buds

Life's rose blooms so brief
We hardly remember each solemn petal
Red as cherries its' soaking hue
From sprouting seed till perfection is due.

Lifted to soar a gift from God
For grace and beauty shines angels crowns
And all is done on heaven through earth
To keep natures balance and preserve loves worth.

All presents don't last that scarlet drops fill
Mercy shown divine ends flowering kneel
God's patiently awaiting green stems to crack dry
To transition ruby glow to another blooming eye.

To be Free (Prayer/poem)

Oh Lord how do I say the words
to break me free from my captivity
part of me only tries to run
while all that time I sink deeper

Will I ever break free from it
will I ever have the strength
to the words or will they be said for me
will it be found out

either way either way
Oh lord clense me of this
take it from my mind
heal me Jesus
let me be set free

help me lord
when temptation comes again
help me lord
to truly break free from its grip
help me lord
if there is no other way

except to say
the words
if there is no other way
for freedom from this to come
oh Lord Jesus please
help me

may these words
not fall short
may these words
be heard in your ears
may you set me free
so I am completely yours

this won't be a barrier
between me and you
this won't be a barrier
from being used by you
let me just be free from this

The Drummer

There is a drummer that lives on my roof
I hear him everyday
Same time mostly
and often he plays the same song
His monotonous rhythm soothes me to sleep

When he gets going camera flashes and applause
Scares the kids out of their seats
I wonder how the world can hold him
I guess that's why he plays only for me

His strokes are fast and furious
but slows to a crawl
when he reaches his end.
