THE LIGHT


The Light 

The light in your eyes is fading fast 
Like a bladed glass , 
I try to keep up a good front that 
Nothing's wrong , 
But inside my head and my heart 
Are constantly fight who's right and 
Who's wrong , 
As soon as I feel I can grasp for air 
And go ahead and let the pain's run 
In ,and accept that you are long gone 
I can move along , 
The taste of happiness has faded away 
To another place and silence made 
Home , 
This feeling that I feel that is holding me 
Captive within myself , 
Feels as if someone pulls out the rug. 
And I fall off my feet onto my face , 
My heart does feel a beat. 
And I have strong faith in you to see 
Me through in Jehovah's name, 
I don't want to give up , but this is too 
Much pain that won't go away , 
This is killing me slowly within why I 
Am holding it all in, 
But how much can one person take. 
I try with all my might. 
As darkness try's so hard to fall over 
Me when death has taken its course , 
This is not who I'm supposed to be. 
I always try to remain bright in the love 
Of Jehovah God ; 
But this time my heart holds glimmering 
Light of a lost life and I must get my 
Feeling back right, 
So I call on yo Jehovah to let me run 
Free until I have finely found me . 
And now I am asking Jehovah God 
To dust me off from all my sinful ways 
And let me see brighter days to run 
In the race .

Poetic Judy Lilly Emery

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
