She wrote her past on her wrists And now her present is bleeding. Questions lying on the floor, When will the bleeding stop? Will it ever stop? But even when the blood is gone Scars remain.
It rains. Inside the house. Outside the house. It rains. In England. In Spain. It rains everywhere. It rains. The rain doesn't give a break And I'm starting to feel soaked. Rain. Heavy rain. Healing rain. It rains. It rains again.
Let it all out, get it all out Rip it out, remove it Don’t be alarmed when the wound begins to bleed Cause we’re so scared to find out what this life’s all about So scared we’re going to lose it Not knowing all along that’s exactly what we need
And today I will trust You with the confidence of a man who’s never known defeat But tomorrow, upon hearing what I did I will stare at You in disbelief Oh, inconsistent me; crying out for consistency
And You said I know that this will hurt But if I don’t break your heart then things will just get worse If the burden seems too much to bear Remember: The end will justify the pain it took to get us there
And I’ll let it be know At times I have shown signs of all my weakness But somewhere in me there is strength And You promise me That You believe in time I will defeat this Cause somewhere in me there is strength
And today I will trust You with the confidence of a man who’s never known defeat And I’ll try my best to just forget that that man isn’t me
And You said I know that this will hurt But if I don’t break your heart then things will just get worse If the burden seems too much to bear Remember: The end will justify the pain it took to get us there
Reach out to me Make my heart brand new Every beat will be for You...for You And I know You know You touched my life When you touched my heavy heart and made it light
(Let It All Out, by Relient K)
I'm tired of withstanding my scars. It's time to let the healing begin. I have been trying to postpone this moment as long as I could, looking forward to the healing but, at the same time, dreading the pain it would bring. But I think that the time has come, and now I'm ready to be broken. I just hope that this time everything goes alright, and that, as the song says, "the end will justify the pain it took to get us there." Scabs are removed, wounds start bleeding, and then He begins the healing.
Y yo me iré. Y se quedarán los pájaros cantando; y se quedará mi huerto, con su verde árbol, y con su pozo blanco.
Todas la tardes, el cielo será azul y plácido; y tocarán, como esta tarde están tocando, las campanas del campanario.
Se morirán aquellos que me amaron; y el pueblo se hará nuevo cada año; y en el rincón aquel de mi huerto florido y encalado. mi espíritu errará, nostálgico…
Y yo me iré; y estaré solo, sin hogar, sin árbol verde, sin pozo blanco, sin cielo azul y plácido… Y se quedarán los pájaros cantando.
(El viaje definitivo, de Juan Ramón Jiménez)
In our Creative Writing class, we were asked to memorize and recite a poem aloud in our last class. My professor asked me to choose a poem in Spanish, and I chose this one because it was just what I was feeling at that time...I knew I was going to leave, and when you have to leave a place, it's impossible not to feel mellancholic and a bit sad knowing that you will be leaving that place, and once you're not there, life will be going on without you there. You'll no longer share those moments with those people, your people, your friends; they will keep having wonderful experiences, and you wish you were there to share them with them...but you won't. You'll be miles and miles away. And it's sad, really sad. So yeah, everytime you leave a place it's the same old story...you begin a new life, but life goes on for both you and your friends...so when you come back nothing is the same. I'll miss my friends...and they say they'll miss me...I just hope that I don't lose contact with them, and the wonderful relationships that have been built in these years will continue forever. And whenever I go somewhere, I will leave knowing and accepting the fact that while I'm away the river of life will continue its course...but when I come back they'll still be there for me, and I for them...with more milleage, more mature, with more experiences on our backs...but together. =)
God will save you, boy you just have to believe that beautiful things will come from broken times just like these, just like these
God could save you, girl in this desert time of need just lay your ashes down in hope of what you'll receive, you'll receive
and it's ok to cry, it's ok to cry it's ok to wonder why and as your tears fall down, they heal the ground a place that once was dry it's ok to cry
God will save us now let His presence bring us peace lay your burdens down let them fall at His feet
and it's ok to cry, it's ok to cry and it's ok to wonder why and as your tears fall down, they heal the ground a place that once was dry and it's ok to cry
your fears are great in your mind your heart just aches for a sign but there is hope and there is grace in these grey skies
and it's ok to cry, it's ok to cry it's ok to wonder why and as your tears fall down, they heal the ground a place that once was dry it's ok to cry
(Ok to Cry, by LaRue)

Last night I had a dream you was the homecoming queen Today you're 18, happy birthday Irene Quit school, you had to drop out to raise your little child Doesn't seem to be anyone around You got to reach up to touch rock bottom The powers that be keep you downtrodden Daughter of Zion, I heard your prayer Just cast your cares and please beware of snakes They come in all shapes and sizes Tempt you, put scales on your eyelids Don't waste your sorrows They'll give you strength...tomorrow Your Calvary's about to come so Keep your head up, don't you ever let up This storm will pass you be ready for the next one
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders Don't say that it's over I heard your prayers, just cast your cares And I'll be there so don't you fear
Hush little baby, don't you cry Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby Everything's gonna be alright The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight Hush little baby don't you cry Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby Everything's gonna be alright The Lord's gonna answer your prayer
Irene I carried you when you was too weak to walk I took to you when you gave your heart to God Faithful and true, that's what I'll always be to you Believe in you, believe in Me and these mountains have to move You have dreams and aspirations I knew you before creation Your foundation's solid I will give you a palace, restore your soul You'll be up for any challenge Many storms are on the way better sharpen your faith Count the cost, take up your cross And wear it every day Rest in Me and I will give you strength Blessed is she, Irene who seeks my face
Hey little girl with the pressures of the world on your shoulders Don't say that it's over I heard your prayers, just cast your cares And I'll be there so don't you fear
Hush little baby, don't you cry Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby Everything's gonna be alright The Lord's gonna answer your prayer tonight Hush little baby don't you cry Daddy's gonna sing you a lullaby Everything's gonna be alright The Lord's gonna answer your prayer
