my little poem:)

When the pain overwhelms me,

my blood screams under my skin,

crushing my veins desperately,

but too weak to tear them apart.

So I pick up the knife with trembling hands.

The cold iron blade caresses me,

embracing my skin like a hungry lover,

kissing my skin like a drowning man,

invading my skin until breaking its defense.

Reds rise rapidly from the abyss,

some spread freely, coloring the land,

some curl up, growing into scarlet glistening diamonds.

I stare at them, admiring their beauty.

My skin whimpers with pain,

my heart chuckles with joy.

Like a pale man finally being freed from the prison,

my skin begs for help,

but I just look down at it, coldly,

until the red isn't glistening anymore.

The ice breaks in my eyes,

revealing the vulnerable tears inside.

The wounds plead with me silently,

my heart breaks,

so I stand up,

washing away the iron smell on the wrists,

soothing the wounds,

trying to heal myself again for the thousandth of time.#MightyPoets

"Unhidden Grief" #MightyPoets

I wrote this poem in memory of my grandpa. Grief doesn’t come with an end date. We all carry it differently, and some days, you just have to let yourself feel it.

Fire! By Melanie R.

Fire! By Melanie R.

Forged in the fire for impact.
The test before the throne through the wilderness…into the wonder.
Stay faithful!!
Not to breakdown,…
but breakthrough.
Pass your test!
Take your place in the kingdom.
Holy fire to awaken!
We rise!
We endure!
We over come as pure gold!
Revived for glory!
Broken chains of shame!
Shaking thundering voice,
declaring that this will birth me!!!

The crushing that unlocked the oil-
To burn through the darkness,
and burn through the night.
Consecration-
and burned in our bones,
for His will, and processing light!

Fire!

Power clarity!
Marked by glory!
Reflecting the spirit in praise!
Fire!

1 Peter 1:6-8
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Chosen Soldier by Melanie R.

Chosen Soldier by Melanie R.

I am a chosen soldier
in the army of The Lord
Presence,
Spirit lifted
Sovereign Word,
my trusted sword.

I put on Ephesians armor;
Found ready,
as we stand.
Together He battles with us,
fight for good, and Glory land.

The breastplate of righteousness
adorned across my chest
Protects and helps guide us.
My heart source brightly cleansed.

The helmet of salvation
Covers and Keeps watch.
Shielding darts,
casts down arrows,
diffuses negative thoughts.

Washed robes of White.
Mercy’s priestly gown.
Anointed Oil of Righteousness,
Lamb Sheared without a sound.

Unblemished armor,
Clothed in strength.
Mercy’s knight-
Shield of faith;
provides a fortress to
Reflect His Holy Light!

Covered by King’s glory.
Truth belt buckled in.
Following His Story,
fueled this fire from within.

Yielded body
Willing forge.
Faithful soldier;
Unsheathed sword.

Marching onward
torrential battles…
crushing giants forThe Lord-

Designed to knock down strongholds,
Conquer fear, and destroy doubt.
Anoint us as we travel,
steadfast martyrs for the crown.

To God be the Glory!

The Shepherdess Keeps Watch By Melanie R.

The Shepherdess Keeps Watch
By Melanie R.

In darkness deep and shadows cold;
shepherdess stands, brave and bold.
A chosen instrument of the Lord,
strengthened,
guided
by His Holy Word.
Thought of like David, last, but not least.
God’s proven strength.
Power to teach.

A guardian now,
for His flock;
for His kin.
Holy Spirit’s light flowing from within!

Faithful prayer and intercession,
She’s trained for this intention:
To watch and care,..
trust His way
The Lord's own sheep…
His legacy.

Filled with Spirit’s Holy Might.
From dawning day, through darkness;
She helps cover the night-

The shepherdess keeps watch-

No enemy gets by…

Leads us to pastures green,
calm waters clear-
But she’s ready to fight!

He carries us in His loving arms,
Protecting-
keeping His sheep from harm.

Isaiah 40:11
He will feed His flock like a shepherd.
He will gather His lambs with His arms;
And carry them in His bosom.

John 10:11-12
I am The Good Shepherd!
The Good Shepherd lays down
His life for His Sheep.

Holy Mountain by Melanie R.

Holy Mountain by Melanie R.

I looked to the hills
where great mountains stand.
For all of my help
is from God’s righteous hand.
They reach to the heavens as they do declare,
the signs of His wonder-
His glory, and care.

The height of His Majest….

My Rock,
cornerstone.
Atop there with Him,
I feel comfort-

I’m home.

The Rock that was thrown down,
rejected,
then rolled…ooh..ooh…

Now holds me together,
shows mysteries unknown.

Mt. Tabor’s prominence;
Mt. Carmel stood tall-
proving…
there’s One God that reigns over all!!

In His holy mountain,
with Him by my side,
in hearing His word,
growing faith,
I abide.

The gush of the water
that came from the stone,
Rained living water;
restoring me whole!

Thank You Jesus!

Isaiah 48:22
And they did not thirst
when He led them through the deserts.
He caused the water
to flow from the rock for them;
He also split the rock,
and the waters gushed out.

Stay Strong Mighty Warriors,
and God be with you all! 🙏💪🏻🏔️

#MightyPoets #BorderlinePersonalityDisorderBPD

I never understood how my words fell far from ears,
For the distance I spoke of was never the miles.
It was the hollow between what I gave and what they got,
A space carved by flaws, not measured in trials.

I cried out as if my voice weren’t enough,
But they searched for tears that never got caught.
How could they not see the weight of my trembling tone?
Maybe it's my fault to be sharp as a bone.
For it is crucial to break to be seen as whole,
Yet the knowing is what I feared all along.

Crying was never merely about the tears that fell,
It was about those that stayed locked behind my gaze.
The yearning buried deep where no one could ever see,
Yet it burnt with the burden of not being seen.
The ache grew stronger through tears that never cried,
As the days passed, I realized this is the kind of pain no wetness could abide.
The unyielding injustice won’t be known,
It’ll vanish like a window's mist, slow and alone.

The more I ache, the more I miss you, Father,
Perhaps because sorrow still echoes your ungentle hands.
It reminds me how you broke me, piece by piece,
Took all I was and left me no peace.

Your words still linger in the cracks of me,
Making me a prisoner of yours in my own body.
Your voice is like a whisper carved into stone,
Soft in its cadence, yet colder than bone.

Most days, I am left to wander and mourn—
What sin did I bear to be hated even before I was born?
What curse was written in me before I was whole?

I know I shouldn’t ask such a thing,
Shouldn’t beg for such a link,
But I have tried to unlearn the hunger for your love,
To convince myself otherwise.
But, Father, you are a wound without end,
And I would trade my very soul
If it meant, once, only once,
You could be my dad instead of my end.
