LETTER TO SELF

By; Daniel Frey

I imagine in my head

That’s ive given up on you

Probably wishing a new life, like the ones you read

My father left, with a single mother in pain

Those signs of weakness only cause clouds of rain

 

I was lonely like I didn’t fit in

Over and over again I kept getting pushed like a bowling pin

I’ve given up on you again

 

 

A turn for the worse

Should be no more

This is your own life, not somebody else’s verse

Wash your hands and don’t ever give up

When bouncing set goals to stand with a proud yup!

Failures define you…

questions to thought

so the other day at the school i was told “how do you call yourself a christian?”

i thought about it and really how can i? i suffer, i judge, i fight, I’m a jerk, I’m selfish I’m…I’m just a big mess! sin is something i put first only because its there. it can take over like a virus and before you realize it, your doing unintentionally, but then you go to church and realize that’s the reason why your there and your not alone. the only reason why I’m like this basically because I’m human. but i have something that most humans don’t. i can admit myself, i can face myself. i know i don’t deserve to be called a christian but i don’t deserve Gods grace neither and yet i still accept it. So no matter what i do or what i face i will always have the title of being a christian….

and that’s how i call myself a christian…

October 1st, 2009 poetry night at Biola

“if you have time to pray, God has time to listen”

that was the message of the night at the poetry lounge. every word, rhyme, song and motion was for people to remember that God is there and he will never leave! that was something that shook my heart that night. i thought and really i do not give my hurts and pains to god like i should. also its weird because its so hard to talk to anybody, but when we talk to god we feel like there is no limit in what we tell him, and yet we use God as a last resort or when we get reminded! but it should at the top of our list. i think life would be a lot easier if we just give a little of our time to god and work our way up to see that we can overcome anything when it comes to Gods strength and the power of prayer, And so my prayer for me is use what i don’t deserve and take advantage of it and my prayer for all of you is that you can see that the only way to overcome obstacles is to pray and my prayer for you and i is to keep god at the top of our list! also remember if you think your far from god, hes not far from you!

thank you,

Daniel Frey

Tidal Wave – OWl City

this song i heard…its so different from other songs, it shouts out to you where  you listen to it and u just think…

TIDAL WAVE _ OWL CITY

I wish I could cross my arms
And cross your mind
‘Cause I believe
You’d unfold your paper heart
And wear it on your sleeve

All my life I wish I broke mirrors
Instead of promises
‘Cause all I see is a shattered conscience
Staring right back at me

I wish I had covered all my tracks completely
‘Cause I’m so afraid
Is that the light at the far end of the tunnel,
Or just the train?

Lift your arms
Only Heaven knows
Where the danger grows
And it’s safe to say
There’s a bright light up ahead
And help is on the way

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
‘Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me

Depression, please cut to the chase
And cut a long story short
Oh, please be done
How much longer can this drama afford to run?

Fate looks sharp
Severs all my ties
And breaks whatever doesn’t bend
But sadly then,
All my heavy hopes just pull me back down again

I forget the last time I felt brave
I just recall insecurity
‘Cause it came down like a tidal wave
And sorrow swept over me

Then I was given grace and love
I was blind but now I can see
‘Cause I found a new hope from above
And courage swept over me

It hurts just to wake up
Whenever you’re wearing thin
Alone on the outside
So tired of looking in

The end is uncertain
And I’ve never been so afraid
But I don’t need a telescope
To see that there’s hope
And that makes me feel
Brave
