Book II: Embrace My Innocence
Chapter I: Soul Murder
|
MESSAGE
Reality came when I placed my hand in the plaster. As
I sat with lamp support, Monica, Jackie, Sue - I felt like a person.
I felt like what it feels like to be in existence. I finally feel like
I am the reason to heal - even though there are many other reasons,
I have never felt like I was a reason.
There is a lot of grief at what I lost. As I look behind
me from the mountain top, you see I believe I’ve climbed one peak,
I look and see the storms and valleys I have walked through - I feel
God and Jesus have been there all along from the beginning
Eye(s) see you forever
Eye(s) see you forever
Eye(s) see you forever
Watching the black cold
feeling my terror, my shame
I’m crying desperate and needy for someone
Not those crazy orange people!
Satan is laughing, the madness of blindness
Dirty, yucky stupid girl!
Is there any worth to the life
Slowly, inside the warmth returns with God
with grief, with fear of the
birth about to happen
Watching me, watching, watching, watching
Tenderness in my hand.
