_A rainy and miserable day._

_Everything is gloomy and gray. _

_Raindrops fall on the rooftops,_

_ reminding me of tears from heaven.

Sometimes it’s more of a steady _

_pattern like a heartbeat or drumbeat._

_Then when it gets really bad, it sounds

like horse hooves stomping the ground in

anticipation of the thunderstorms coming._

__

_My frequent visitor is the female grosbeak. _

_She’s a...

_Tiny illuminated homes _

_light up all over the sky _

_and lake. It’s absolutely _

_breathtaking how they shine_

_and reflect the stars and moon _

_throughout the water at night._

__

_It’s a whole_

_community of homes _

_to fairies, their families, _

_friends, and pets. Flowers _

_plants, gardens and animals _

_are everywhere, making this _

_quaint little village even _

_more special and unique._...

_Clouds cover the skies. _

_Rain pulls at your eyes. _

_But nothing hurts as much _

_as Iittle words turned lies._

__

_Every word you speak is a lie._

_Broken promises have all run dry._

_I said absolutely no falsehoods.

_Yet here we are again deep in

another one of your caustic lies._

__

_It’s obviously too late for us._

_Once the sky turns black,_

_there’s no going back__.___

_The clouds ha...

_She’s trying to block all the voices inside her head. She shuts this one last voice out, only to have three more come into her head. Finally, she’s ready for bed and everyone’s settled down for now when they all start talking and misbehaving again. Oh my dear lord, the pain in my head! It may never end._...

**What a beautiful start**

_The saddest, emptiest ,_

_hollow hearts _

_they love to tear _

_and rip apart. _

_Their damaged hearts _

_have now turned black,_

_from all the abuse, neglect, _

and abandonment.

They trust no one,

_not even themselves. _

_Safety is a thing of the past._

_Home is as far as they’ll ever go._

__

_Yet in this madness, _

_they’ll run and run _

_until they collapse or_

_I get down on my knees to pray to the Lord again. I ask for his forgiveness for all my sins. I'm starting to cry again as I think:_

__

_Take the blood right out of my veins, Take the tears right out of my pain, Take the devil out of the snake. Rip the evil out of God's perfect garden that will one day reign again. It will be just as it always should have been, before they disobeyed that beautiful...

** **_The figure in the red hooded cape ran into the garden of red poppies, looking for safety. The bright reds drew her in, almost calling her by name. This girl needs to escape her world of black, white and grey, if only for a day. Maybe she’ll even stay, to soak up the bright yellow sun rays and get her bad thoughts to finally go away._

_The little girl was constantly running and running so ...

_Beneath the Surface, their masks quickly come off, and their smiles fade as the lies, horror, and insanity resume instantly._

__

_Beneath the Surface, it's dark, cold, lonely, hopeless, and dirty. There’s never a feeling of home here.

__

_Beneath the Surface, it's either total chaos or insane misery that drags on endlessly until the cycle repeats day after day._

_Beneath the Surface, they put ...
