cassie slaughter Poems

Here I am
A lonely jail bird
Falling apart
At every word
...

Depression is darkness
Threatening your life
It tricks you
Into thinking of your strife
...

I thought about you today
And I wondered to myself
How we got this far
Was it something I did?
...

I did not ask for a life of pain
I did not ask for a life full of shame
I did not ask to be abused growing up
I did not ask for this dead girl to show up
...

There is a voice here
There is a voice there
There are voices everywhere
No matter how fast I run
...

I feel so lost
And confused at times
Is this what you had in mind
When I said to you
...

As I lay here in bed
With darkness all around me
I begin to have flash backs
As my past surrounds me
...

Jesus when you call my name
I will say here am I
For anything you ask of me
I will obey
...

'Who am I? '
You ask
Well...
I'm me
...

My heart is set on you Jesus
But my mind is stuck in the past
I feel so lost and confused
What happened to that fire Jesus?
...
