My Soul's Voice Poem by Moya Staten

Ever feel like you want to run, but, you just can't move your feet, want to scream, but no sound comes from your lips..

Want to even dance but, can't move your hips, you world keeps moving, but you are standing still..

Your heart is beating but can't catch your breath...you can move mountains but can't find the strength...

Want to pray, but can't bend your knees, you want to submit, but, you refuse to relent...

Expressing you are lost, but the directions are in front of you...
Believing God's real, because only he understands how this feels...


Knowing you can't see love but you can feel it, life feels like a shadow just hanging over you...

Your life is like the sun, rise up, rise like the day, regardless of the aches, rise unafraid...embrace the strength you do have, move your mind, move you feet..love regardless of hurt, be kind despite selfishness...smile regardless of the pain.. Speak loud, despite your fears...Let your soul's voice be heard.
