I really need to write more 
writing has always been a getaway
a gateway that I’ve been putting aside
blaming stress
and each day’s constant cycle.

The feelings keep filling the already full
overflowing cup of turmoil.
Impatience running dry 
yet moist with frustration.
Patience is key when sprinting long-term
running full throttle
into my burning soul.
Diving head first into the deep end
filled with unknowns
so not sure if I’m drowning
or too scared to understand that I can float. 

My own savior
lifeguard not needed
my lungs filled with nature’s air
is all I need to stay afloat.

when times are hard and spirits low
Dear God he knows
how to save me
CPR not needed
only a psalm sung verse

Safety Guaranteed
love granted
Dear Lord, I praise I won’t take you for granted.
