Hope A Little Harder...

Hope, a little harder--

Pray, your days will be brighter.

Smile, you will get through this--

Ask God, to make things lighter.

Don't quit, just keep on going--

Don't you stop, 'cause you're a fighter.

A Fragile Soul Caught In the Hands of Fate

A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate--

Looking to God before it gets too late.

Caught in between the disturbances and interactions--

Trying to silence all of the distractions.

A fragile soul caught in the hands of fate--

Looking to God before it gets too late.

Looking to God for my destiny--

Looking to God to tell me what's best for me...

For A Minute There, I Lost Myself

Wow... This set so describes my life right now.

So much has happened in the past month...

So much has changed in the past month...

I've changed so much... 

I can't explain it and I won't explain it.

I just pray that I continue to grow and build.

All I can say is that,

"WE can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens US."

Under Her Skin

Because self harm is a serious topic and a serious issue, so I created this set.

Under her skin

Is a beautiful soul.

She's trying so hard

But she just can't let it go.

When Love Burns...

Because sometimes love burns, so I created this set.

I gave you my heart,

And I don't want it back.

I'll find it with someone--

Who has everything you lack.

I'm not mad,

I'm just hurt.

But I was dumb enough--

To fall for a flirt.

Honestly, I had not control

Over it all.

If I did. I would have paused--

And never fall.

Oh well,

You live and you learn.

And I guess this time,

I'm the one to get burned...

What's Wrong Pretty Girl?

Because I was sad and lost myself for a minute, so I created this set.

What's wrong pretty girl?

What lies beneath those eyes?

Is it a happy soul?

Or a sad one hidden beneath all the lies?

What's wrong pretty girl?

What happened to your heart?

We used to be best friends,

But now you're distant and so far apart.

What's wrong pretty girl?

Why do you over think so much?

Just live your life,

And forget about the little things and such.

What's wrong pretty girl?

I used to know you oh so well.

But now you seem like a different person--

One I can hardly tell.

What's wrong pretty girl?

Why don't you ever feel like enough?

Why do you hide your vulnerability?

Why do you have to seem so tough?

What's wrong pretty girl?

Why can't you love yourself for you?

Why can't you ever be enough?

With all the little things that you do.

What's wrong pretty girl?

How can you love everyone but yourself?

You give a lot of love out--

And yet, your heart stays on a shelf.

What's wrong pretty girl?

You always seem to share your light.

But it disappears at times--

As if you turn to night.

What's wrong pretty girl?

Why don't you get up out your head?

It's time to lay down now,

And head straight back to bed.

Crushed

Because I was feeling crushed, so I created this set.

Crushed,

Like a bug on the ground.

Crushed,

Oh, how I hate that sound.

Crushed,

As my heart hits the ground.

Crushed,

As I find no one around.

Crushed,

As I find myself all alone.

Crushed,

As my voice cracks on the phone.

Crushed,

As I fall for a landing.

Crushed,

As I find myself no longer standing.

Crushed,

As the world is so demanding.

Crushed,

And the pain is outstanding.

Swallowed in a Sea of Misery

Because I was having a bad day, so I created this set.

Do you know what it's like--

To breathe underwater?

To drown in a misery--

That never really falters?

And do you know what it's like

To drown in a sea--

Swallowed in all of your

Misery?

Behind My Smile (Earth Quakes)

Because I have bad days sometimes that I try to hide, so I created this set.

Behind my smile--

Is a heart that breaks.

Behind my soul--

Is a spirit that aches.

And behind my world--

Is an earth that quakes.

So I Lie...

Because I have bad days, so I created this set. It's also a poem response set.

Okay so what your going to do is read the poem and interpret it in your own way. It can be any kind of set, and art one, fashion, beauty or home. Put it under #Poetryintoart and tag us please. I will be making my set for this hashtag when were all done so we can see how everyone thought of it differently.

@alphaboots Original Poem:

I'm tired of it all.

I'm tired of crying.

I'm tired of pity.

I'm tired of being quiet.

I'm tired of not being good enough.

I'm tired of being insecure.

I'm tired of constant drama.

I'm tired of being ashamed.

I'm tired of wanting love.

I'm tired of the world judging me.

I'm tired of telling myself it'll get better.

I'm tired of wanting to be a phoenix.

I'm tired of losing sleep.

I'm tired of the nightmares.

I'm tired of feeling alone.

I'm tired...

But I'm wide awake.

My interpretation and response:

So I lie...

I put on a mask and I keep it all in.

I put a smile on my face as I pretend.

All you can see is the light in my eyes--

You can't see the tears that I hide.

It's okay, it's not all in vain--

I'm awake and perhaps insane.
