Super Speed

I flew down a parking garage on a bamboo board with wheels

and I almost died

but I didn't

I safely made it to the bottom in one piece

that struggled to hold itself together

because it was shaking with adrenaline

coursing it's way through my veins so fast that it made my limbs vibrate

and my breathing heavy

tickling an inescapable smile onto my face

There can't be a high better than this,

I thought

Who needs drugs? I got my piece of wood and newly oiled ball-bearings

I'll never need anything ever again

and all of that

made me think

made me remember that

I'm called to jump off a cliff

without a parachute or bungee cord

with the certainty of losing my life

I don't know if I'll safely make it to the bottom

in one piece

but I know that if it's anything like bamboo and a parking garage

I'll never need anything ever again

So I'll jump off a cliff without a parachute or bungee cord

and lose my life

cuz somewhere in the mysterious fall

where I have no control whatsoever

I think I'll find it

I'll find life

I'll follow Tom Petty

and free fall out into nothing

and leave this world

to help usher in the next

I'll never need anything ever again

No Time

There isn't any time to waste

sitting in this 'he said' 'she said' kind of shit

It's time to get legit and quit acting like a bunch of kids

who whine fuss and spit when they don't get what they wish for

We are humans who mess up

piss each other off

but that doesn't change the fact that

WE NEED EACH OTHER

WE NEED OUR BROTHERS

to STOP fighting amongst themselves so that we can get down on our knees and fight the real war

the war raging in the unseen realm

the war waging for the souls of those we're supposed to be watchmen for

We're supposed to be watchmen for them

We know there are things unseen

because our eyes have been cleaned by the One who redeems

so it's on us, see

on us to be living free

daily

cuz we know that one day we

will be done with the frailty of the human will

to kill, take, steal and break

when the last dawn finally takes us away

in the blink of an eye or the snap of a finger

the saved will go home and the lost will not linger

no

they go to that place

I don't know if you know what it's called

cuz everyone seems to be afraid to call Hell an actual place

Yes, Hell is a place, ladies and gentlemen

it's a destination

for you who choose to live in your condemnation

sin

call it what you want but on your own you don't win

Sorry if i'm being a hard ass but it's true

if you feel you've won this life, guess what?

YOU'LL LOSE IT!

This is what they need to hear

Hard. Ass. Truth.

Not us talking back in forth, pointing fingers, asking who is it? huh? who is it we blame?

who's messing up the pride and glory of my name?

YOU'RE FRICKEN INSANE!

Look up from yourselves and see the hurting world

Friends, it's ours for the taking

May the Lord pave the way

as we pray and pray and pray for direction

but nothing happens until we say

'Okay'

and take that first step

towards Togetherness

breaking down all of our dress-up-iness

and seeing flesh and blood

brother and sister

ready to make history

take His Story

and tell the world

Let's

Tell the World

This is the Place

This is the place where hiking is not

sports bra and shoes

but

slippers and bathing suit

This is the place where they shake off the "shake hands"

and hug and honi

This is the place

I am from

and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Elizabeth

She crashes and burns again in this road wreck that is her life and all you can say is

"Oops, she did it again."

Are you serious? That's all you're gonna say?

Sit in you're high chair

her hair being rumpled and scuffed by the soles of your feet

as you rough her up and kick her around with your words

saying how she should have been more careful

shouldn't have gone there so

something so unrepairable would never happen again

SHE DON'T NEED YOUR JUDGMENT

SHE NEEDS A FRIEND

Not someone who will look on her and condemn

saying it's just her

her mistake and her lie

another fake, dumb, disturbing alibi

BUT IT'S NOT

IT'S NOT JUST HER

SHE'S MORE THAN THAT

She may be confused and broken

but she is first and foremost what her names says she is

Consecrated to God

and to add to that

my sister

MY sister

so back off

don't touch her she's fragile

if you gonna say things then say them but make them worthwhile

make them something that will make her smile

and help her remember that she's not a screw up like her life's story might implore you to decide

re-identify her in your mind

as Beautiful

cuz she is

my sister

she is Beautiful

Fatigue

I'm tired.

But somehow

I find the drive to keep getting up

and live like I still can.

But I can't.

Cuz I'm tired.

I don't wanna run anymore

but I can't bring myself to stay either.

I'm just tired.

That's all I know.

Please, help me.

I just wanna rest

but I don't know how anymore.

Keep running.

No, I'm tired. Please, I'm just tired.

You need to go.

Go away.

Leave.

Please, go away. I wanna stay, please, please go away.

Get up. Leave.

I want to rest.

Rest is not for you.

I need it.

Rest isn't yours.

I want it.

Never again.

Please, let me stay this time. Please let me stay. I can't...I can't keep doing this.

You have to.

Rest is not yours.

Here is uncomfortable.

You'll never hold it together.

Get out.

Leave.

Run.

In the end it'll be better.

All better.

The perfect choice.

You'll have no time to think.

No time to feel horrible.

Only room for the good feelings.

Which is perfect.

This

will be perfect

for you

and for them

which is why you need

to leave.

........

You're right.

I can't.

I can't stay here.

How could I have ever stayed here?

It's not for me.

This isn't for me.

I need to go.

I'm leaving.

Please, please don't make me stay.

I can't.

I can't stay.

Let me go.

Just trust me, you don't want me here.

No, you don't.

You don't know what you're talking about.

I'm fine

and I'm leaving.

Leave me alone.

You don't want me here

and I can't.

I can't be here.

Oh..what? You're still here? I'm sorry, I don't care =D

I don't know if you heard

but there's still a plan for me

a purpose for me

a perfectly picked divine destiny for me

and I'll lay this down on you like MC Hammer

and tell you that

you

can't

touch

this

mmhm yeah you

you know who i'm talking to

cuz you

you been around me a whole lot lately, haven't you?

reminding me how greatly I screwed up, haven't you?

telling me I'm done and this race ain't mine to be won, haven't you?

well I've HAD it with YOU

cuz me?

I'm gonna stand here

in the midst of my mess

dress myself in this all-nation salvation and say

YES. I AM redeemed!

So away with you, Death!

Yeah, yeah I know I don't deserve this

If there's anything I know for sure it's that I don't deserve this

But you can't put me on the bench cuz you ain't the ref of this game

So stop putting shame on me

cuz it's lifted

stop putting blame on me

cuz blame was scandalously shifted

and put on Him

the blame-less

who was made shame-ful

bound in chains, pulled down to a cross that He stretched His God-man frame across

embracing it cuz from that point on in His name the lost

finally had hope

I

finally had hope

hope in knowing that this life ain't mine alone to cope with

I ain't hopeless

cuz I know this

and so do you

and in the Name of the Sinless Savior, I can tell you what to do

like back the hell off

and you have to

cuz you

you lose

So go ahead and do what you think you can

I'm not moving

in the Truth I will stand

and as long as I do

like I said at first and all the while

MC Hammer style

You can't

touch this.
