A poem written during the relapse... There's a glimpse of Hope...

A Breath of Hope

The truth is planted deep within me...
Then why can't I clearly see...
The value, the purpose, the destiny...
The beauty of the one standing before me?

Instead of the truth, it's lies I hear...
Torment, worry, pain, and fear...
Will the truth resurface...
Reveal value and purpose...

Or will the lies reign...
Condemn, and disdain...
Leaving me trapped...
In this sorrow and pain...

Somewhere deep down...
In place of the frown...
There's One who awaits...
With a royal crown...

How long must I wait...
Sit in disgust and self-hate...
Or has time expired?
Is is too late?

No, I know that's not true...
My heart's His pursuit...
He'll hold onto me...
Until I see the VICTORY!

A poem written during the relapse... Desperate!

Hunger...
By: Kim Hembry

The hunger wells up within me.
The hunger to be free-
The hunger to see-
What's happening in me...

The hunger is strong.
Strong and intense-
It builds in suspense-
I need to break free...

The hunger wells up.
It never breaks-
Not much more I can take-
Please help me...

The hunger is real.
I need an appeal-
So I can finally feel-
God's sweet victory!
