You took my liberty away from me,
I was frozen and stayed still;
paralyzed, the feeling within me,
behind a wall, my mind lay ill
I needed you to be tender,
caress the bleeding in my heart;
I wanted love and you abandoned me,
instead of love you chilled my heart!
Your embrace I could not open to,
although I longed to from the start;
the need I had it was irrelevant,
you only saw your need, in part
There can no fullness be in such a stance,
you have a shield and now I've mine;
with such a wall we haven't got a chance,
these walls must come apart in time
I pray that I may yet find a time,
when I've my freedom back again;
my heart is longing to find warm embrace,
a love fulfilled where I can mend
It's not just happenstance that we have met,
for you've the knowledge of my pain;
I've prayed for healing of a lonely past,
I need the warmth of sun not rain!
I often wonder when the time will come,
when I am freed of bondage deep;
I need unravel all the fears I've kept,
I need to search within and weep!
Oh Father please, I long to take to flight,
on eagles wings I long to soar;
release me from this endless inner plight,
take this tiger that does roar!
This pain it eats away the strength from me,
that I would use to praise Your Name;
with You alone I have the victory,
with You alone my soul will reign!

Author notes
I KNOW YAH LOVES ME, EVEN THOUGH~~~~~~
Mt 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
1Pe 2:24 Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
1Co 15:57 But thanks be Elohim, which giveth us the victory through our Master Yahshua The Christ.
2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of YAH.

This is great. It starts out as such a sad poem, telling of pain. And that is where a lot of poems start and end, as cries of pain and sorrow. But I like how you turned this into something more, a heartfelt plea to God to help you, while echoing a a sense of trust that he will hear your prayer. This is a really nice poem and I like how you ended it with a sense of hope.

In rare instants of extreme awareness we may obtain a tiny fragment and faint understanding of the overwhelmingly perfect The Divine Plan - the strategy of The Light who combats the dark powers in the all out war that rages in the heavens. The plan that also involves us, often conflicts with personal interests and desires. It is part of the strategy of the dark forces who effortlessly confuse and abuse the severely downgraded talents of mankind. But as we become increasingly humbled when we learn more about The Divine Plan, the paradoxes of the induced illusion bother us less and less. The focus on the outcome of The Divine Plan empowers our souls, allowing us to rise above the trivial general needs where we begin to discover awards that are inconceivable to those whose minds were never led to the beauty beyond the walls of this gloomy illusion. The Divine Plan must be executed until the bitter end after which there will be no bitterness. Being aware of this will urge us to contribute to the succeeding of the plan, rather than obstructing it. Even if it kills us. Death and mortality are as transient as the grasp of the talons of the dark on those trapped in this illusion. We know we cannot escape it. For now. The dark is aware of this too. It literally scares the hell out of them.

Just Beautiful
Oh what a beautiful HUMBLE prayer to God. Oh the feelings of not experiencing his presence when in such dispair I do so understand. This poem is just stunning and I just love it and could relate to it very much in my own desperate calls out to the Lord in hopes of having the strength to serve him again. You come from a place of brokeness with a cry for help from the Heavely Father only to end the prayer with a sense of peace and victory we can only receive from the Father.
This should be published I think!!!! So many of us feel this way at different times in our life's but really it should be a dailey prayer of complete surrender as you did pray out to God here.
Thank you so much Kathleen this is the perfect poem for me to read today and I'd love to print it if I may and put it next to my bed. This will remind me to get back on my knees!!! Thank you for sharing your gift to write poetry and your personal relationship with Our Heavely Father
Just Beautiful Tribute to the Father!!!!
Wishings You Many Blessings Kathleen,
Much Love Always,
Kelle Marie
