Spoken Word: Silent Lies

Below is a little spoken word I wrote in the summertime. I was inspired by my friend who is so into poetry. I had no intentions of writing this poem, but this is what came out. Hope you too can see how powerful God is, and note that he's capable of doing all things. No one can hold you back, not even yourself. The harder it gets, the harder you fight. The heavier the burdens, make it your business to run to the altar and hand it over to God. Hope you enjoy!

"Silent Lies"

Your lies spoke volumes
In the midst of silence, you whispered. 
Screamed so loud, yet you tried to divide the picture, of me.
Had me scattered like glass.

You see I was created in his image. 
You are the slaughter. 
I'm his daughter, and 
You, you are beneath me. 

You're nothing more 
Nothing more than the man
Who stands before me 
Convincing me to believe his lies in disguise.

I've fallen into the depths of the sea, drowning. 
Gasping for air
Left in despair, hopeless.
 choking 

When you left me breathless
You allowed my father to keep me desperate
For his will
For his way

No longer could the pain
seep through my face
and leave me bound
In my mess

A picture of my past reflects 
The insecurity that bled through my pores
Inking the path I was destined to walk on
You paved that I ground I stopped on

Surrounded by chains
Enclosed by knots 
His blood prevailed 
He made the paved the path I walk on

I am free. 
Who freed me? 
Jesus. 

He destroyed all you tried to make of me
What you promised to take from me 
Breaking me, Shaking me
Only my God can break me down to build me up

Now beauty bleeds through my pores 
He has restored 
Your lies are condemned
His truth speaks louder than your lies that are silenced

*Viewers please note that you are welcomed to share any constructive criticism, if need be. As the author I feel I can only make this piece better by hearing your voice. I established that spoken words are very passion filled and intense. No one can express better what I intend to convey to the audience  better than I, but please viewers please give this some thought and comment!
