Passion

...by Melissa Moore

/ ‘pa∫(ð) n / n. A strong enthusiasm (strong interest or admiration) for something (Oxford English Dictionary)

Today in our world, society places great demands on the “what, when who, why and how” of our being. We have far too many deadlines to meet, several propositions to make and so little time to get it all done! We are so pre-occupied with “life” that some of us even lose the true meaning of what it is to just live.

Daily, we set about our lives, hustling and… Continue

I feel trapped, lost even broken
Bound and gagged by this filthy chosen path
To destruction?

Where did all my passion go?
My faith feels crushed when I think of the ways
I’ve let myself down!

I have power in my mind
Power in my soul,
When it comes to my body
I’m almost powerless and old
Tied to the shackles of fear
As time flows by
Every month every year
Is an addition to when I will allow things to be
God said “Ask what you wish;
And yours it will be!”

Why can’t I hear myself within?
Fill my… Continue

The struggle of life moves in
Into our comfort zones
To see who we really are
What we're really made of
Are we who we say we be?
Strong, sophisticated, experienced or fearless?
Or do we cover up what's really inside?
Weakness, dullness, ignorance or fear?
We just fight our battles so we can move along

We move along to what may seem new
And hope we forget about the negatives in the past
The times when we were done wrong
Even after we try to please
Those who we cared for and those who we loved

My soul cries to be freed from the shackles
From the shackles of negativity
That squirms around my being
Which with-holds my feet
From being free
In a land so small
Conquering all my dreams
My dreams that matters all to my heart...

My soul cries to vent
From all that is negative and evil-sent
To deter me from outshining and being my best
With all your wrong-doing and ill-mannered tests
Which prevent me from moving on
To what is new and ready for a free-spirit
To thread upon the path to freedom… Continue

Of relationships gone by
Of the could be's and would be's the should be's and all
The list of names and the stories behind each one
To which once in a while may shock you when a call comes within
From that little black book

Stories of pain
Stories of sorrow
Stories of great times gone
And all that may be
In the past but not forgotten

The many times you were hurt
The times when you learnt
From bad experiences
Even the times when you
Fell stupidly knowing what to expect
With another name being a… Continue
