Prayer (free verse)
I need some time alone. Some time in my head. I need to unwind somehow.. Untangle all these thoughts.... Of chasing dreams and running away from them. I need to find myself. Figure out who I am. God where are you tonight? Do you have a minute or two? I could use some help down here. See, I've got a problem. My mind is going 90 in a 55. My heart's racing my body and they're both up in flames. There's so much smoke that I can't see. Could you send a dropp of rain or two? Perhaps then I could decipher this mess a little easier. I'm in need of some directions as well. It seems I've lost my way in this deceitful maze of a life. The truth is, Lord, I am weak and I am scared. I am tired from running as hard as I have been.. Not even knowing where I've been headed. I am tired, Father. So tired from trying. I am empty from losing everything I ever had. I am alone in this, Lord. No one understands but you and Ana*. And Ana isn't around to console me.... Only to pull tighter these chains around my neck. So please be with me tonight. I need some company. All I ask is a shoulder to lean on. Because no one else is around....
*Ana- anorexia

Prayer II (free verse)
God, I know we talk every night just before I fall asleep, but I can't sleep tonight. I need to know that you're out there and that someday I will be all right. I hope and pray you watch over all my friends, my family, and even my enemies. Keep us all safe, Lord. And let us know we're all okay. I'm not very strong right now, God, but I know you're strong enough for the both of us. I also don't think I'm quite capable of making the right decision, as my reasoning skills are temporarily 'Out of Order', or so they tell me. So I ask that you take my hand tonight and lead me in whatever direction you decide I should go. Give me strength, Lord, because that's all I've ever had.. And without it now I am weaker than I have ever been. God give me strength....

Precious
Nothing hurts like it's supposed to.
I can't feel the way that you do.
I'm sorry that I'm not enough
To become the girl that you dreamt up.
Maybe if I left you here
The pain you felt would be less dear.
And I could go on in my vague existence
In a way that wouldn't suspend this silence.
But, Precious, I cant stop this now.
I will press on in this somehow.
Leaving couldnt come a moment too soon
For these bittersweet emotions are quickly consumed.

Production of an Imploding Lie
A big production- as someone I'm not.
Pressure, pressure, building up..
When's this mad house going to blow?
I'm running away, but running low.
What will happen when I'm caught in the wreckage
Of an incinerated dream?
This place- a place away from here-
Where nothing's as it seems.
So spin me around and let me go free.
And take this blindfold off of me.
Let me wander; stumble through..
And find my way back home to you.
Tear me down and punish me,
Slap me 'til you make me see.
Scream and scream, because I need your voice-
Tell me I'm left without a choice.
Take me home to contemplate,
And bring me to the light again.
Jessy Liz
