Under the law I made myself My self doubt became a cry for help.I forced selflessnessBy making myself less.In turn I became the villain.I turned into the ephesians.What a Pharisee I am.I was afraid of man.Holier I tried to be.Frustrated that they could not see,Why I was so lowly.Truth be told, that wasn’t holy.Reframe the pictureContinue reading “Under The Law”

Pain is a fickel thing
Pain is a fickle thing, You will never be sure,What it will do to you. Pain is a burden to bear.You will never know when,You’ll crumble in its care. Pain is a fickle thing,You will never be sure,How long it will follow you. R.D.Jess
I DON’T NEED
I don’t need to be your all to be loved.I don’t need to be near to feel the warmth of your love.I don’t need your attention to be known.I am not forgotten in the unknown. Though the enemy would like me to believe the lie,That I’m alone in this fight.I don’t need to give into thisContinue reading “I DON’T NEED”
YOUNG WOMEN
Young women are told what to believe.Just smile as they cut you deep.If you’re young you’re treated as a fool.Miss used and treated as a tool.I am a fool, I take the lashes,And smile as everyone passes.Oh, to be old one day.To not be looked down on because of my age.Please stop making comments aboutContinue reading “YOUNG WOMEN”
KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR
I need a knight in shining armor,But the tower took its toll.I took all the courage I could muster,And re-wrote the stories told.I picked up the sword,And fought the dragon.People begin to spread the word.My fight has just begun.I mounted my trusted horse,Over and over again.To set a course,For the rest who live in theContinue reading “KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR”
WHAT IS LOVE?
What is love?I’ve never seen it much.I’m convinced it’s a lie.To keep you tied up tight.Then I met you,And you showed me the truth.That love is possible.That life can be enjoyable. -r.d. jess-
Valentines Special (It’s Not Fair.)
It’s not fair, you made me fall in love with you.It’s not fair, I’ve done all I can do.It’s not fair, you stole my heart.It’s not fair, cupid shot a dart.It’s not fair, I’ll tell you!It’s not fair that I should fall in love with you.It’s not fair.It’s not fair! BY R.D. JESS
CHANGE OF VIEW
You have the kindest eyes I’ve ever seen.I’m used to them being so mean.But when I look at yours.I see Love that endures.When did you become so mature?Your words seem so sure.Why do you look like a man?I have to say I’m a fan.The more I’m around you,I’m overwhelmed by the change of view. -r.d.jess-
No, Not Again
No, not again! No, Not another man. The flex and flowOf all that I know.I thought I was still But the battle could kill.I don’t want you,I wish that was true.I’m moving onIs that wrong?One glimpse and I’m falling,High hopes left me balling.No, Not again!Falling in love with a man.Back and forth, my head hurts.Emotions began to burst.CanContinue reading “No, Not Again”
I REST MY SOUL
I rest my soul in a loving God.Knowing one day my pain will be gone.For every mile walked in the valley,A thousand more among the lilies.My soul does trust Him.Faithful he has always been.When suffering left me questioning.My assurance was purifying -R.D. Jess-
