I Give You the Key

Flitting past flickers, imprisoned old me Now on this side of the bars. Locked away in dungeons none see Though her memory still etches scars. Defiantly, Staring into that face, Clutching the prisoner's key, Remembering I once stood in her place As she whispers guilt and all she could be. More ambivalent than you see. Thoughts sensitive to touch It can't be me that holds this key; But who can I trust with such? I know she cannot stay Singing talent and potential. Others may join the fray, Persuasion too influential. She plagues intended honesty she knows my life of mystery Because she knows my history. She used to be me. Now she's feeling rejected, fury unrespected, the tempest still reflected in me even now. You fashion me new raiment Throwing out the soiled. Never proper payment All words are only foiled.

| About Me: | I absolutely love philosophy; it surrounds my thought and creates the world in which my imaginations wander. I take pure delight in thinking about the world, about people, and the mysteries of Christ. I'm a writer by mind and a warrior by heart. I don't wish to lead the mundane existence led by so many who contain God to that little box called church and don't let Him lead them on the adventure of their lives. I want Jesus to shape me into something mighty and beautiful, and for God to use me as His tool to transform lives. I want to be a visionary. I want to be strong. I want to be more. I want to change the world. |
Social
| Interested In: | I love to read, write, and do anything wth my loving church. I enjoy archery, karate, and all kinds of unusual stuff. I help lead an afterschool Bible study at my high school called 'Ignite' and do a lot of volunteer work through local Christian ministries. I love music, from alternative to classical to Christian rock and everything in every little crevice in between, and play the piano, Indian flute, and bits of guitar for church. |
| Favorite Music: | Skillet, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin, Relient K, Hawk Nelson, Jason Elam, Joel Engle, Josh Groban, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Kuhlau, Audio Adrenaline, Mercy Me, Toby Mac, Addison Road, Building 429, etc. Pretty much everything. Really, the list could go til Jesus comes back... |
| Favorite Movies: | The Phantom of the Opera, The Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia |
| Favorite Books: | For a bibliophile to name her favorite books in such a confined space is clearly a fool's gambit; but, yeah, books are something of a hiding place for me and my mind is usually found buried deep in a story at any given moment. The Bible obviously is my favorite, with the likes of Lord of the Rings, Chronicles of Narnia, anything Ted Dekker, The Ultimate Gift, and others gallivanting through the forests of my mind after it. |
