The Part Of Me

Heal me O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me ,and I shall be saved ,For thou art my Praise Jeremiah 17:14

 I sometimes cannot clearly comprehend nor understand the me who I am ..

At times I just close my eyes, trying to imagine, where all this is going.
So many feelings arise inside, even my dreams don't make any sense.
When I close my eyes to sleep , they creep up, and find their way in.
When I awake, I am still, trying to make sense of it all, but I cannot.
 
I wish people would understand ...

The part of me that's so very very tired of being tired.
The part of me that just longs to be whole and well again.
The part of me that always holds on to hope and healing.
The part of me that that has limitations and has to say no.
The part of me that that just needs to be alone at times.

The part of me that needs to create, create, create.
The part of me that loves to dance before the Lord
To sing, just sing, like the song bird within my soul ...
Needing to be set free.
 
The me that sometimes feels deserted and misunderstood.
The me that still needs you my friends, and your prayers.
The me that needs even more patience, and understanding.
The me that gets frustrated with myself, more than anyone else.
The me that wonders, and at times, will ask  why me?
 
Don't get me wrong, I love me, and the creator of my soul.
I cherish my me moments, my me time alone, and life.
Even though I might not understand God's plan for me
I won't ever live a life of defeat or feelings of self pity.

Maybe I will never ever fully understand but its' okay
As a poet, and writer, such as myself  can convey...
Writing my thoughts, and sharing them along the way.

You have a sweet way with words. It's so hard sometimes to not feel invisible, especially when what we are going through isn't understood by the world around us. Thank you for sharing your heart!

Blessings,

Aloha Mel..

It is so hard not to feel invisable and not necessary. I think having an invisiable illness that hurts on the inside, has challenged me to look my best on the outside as much as I can.

Hallelujah sistah! God's love and acceptance bring His power and authority as you overcome. No weapon formed against you will prevail. In His light, life and love all is made whole. Pouring the blood of Jesus over you for NO More travail.
His will be done! *U* Love Always!

Lori, how my heart hurts for you. Father, won't You please heal my dear sistah, in the name of Jesus, Your son. You said ask anything in the name of Your son, Jesus and it would be done. Let Lori feel your loving arms around her, feel the presence of the sweet, sweet Holy Spirit.

Don't give up my dear, He is always near and I know He hears your cries. I know a little of what your going through but one day we will have a perfect body, free of pain. Bless you my dear sweet friend. AE
