Slave to the Shadows of me

Song: citizen soldier devil inside

I just can't shake it 

Stakes are high and she beckons

Calls me home again 

Down here where the darkness reigns 

Rules over me forever

Theme song: memories by within temptation 

Most of my memories fade to black

I can't recall any of them anymore, see

But there's one that remains through the crack

A lover, a friend, a foe and enemy

For she is all of these things and more to me

She holds the key to my heart

With the power to uplift or destroy,

And this is just the start

I'm just a game, a damaged toy

How I tremble at the memory of you

Your love cuts deep bleeding the red 

Caught between freedom and the chains of you

And I confess I can't get you out of my head. 

I don't know what to do

Give in and be in sin,

Or resist and lead on to the healing too

The blade wants to cut the skin

"She" isn't a person though she makes play as one,

The art imitating life but she doesn't breath

She ice old steel and hard as stone, that one

She longs to get to what lies beneath 

But she doesn't know there's been a shift

A change in the atoms that make me up

I've been born from Above if you catch my drift 

I no longer blend drinking holiness and darkness's cup. 

I fight my battles with a different knife

The sword of the Spirit the word of God

She can and will come knocking at the door of strife,

But my will to survive will answer with all I've got. 

Ephesians 6:16-17

King James Version

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Encouragent: don't give in. Even when temptation comes knocking. Even when the nenories of yesterday creep up. Even when darkness presses in on every side. You're much stronger than you think. Better equipped too. Keep fighting. Heaven fights with you.

they sit they wait they watch: caged bird

They sit, they wait, they watch: caged bird by telle wild rose ©️ 2025

They sit, they wait, they watch

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Their eyes have a look of knowing and yet…

They sit, they wait, they watch

But she never allows herself to dream. 

The catcher clipped her wings to fly, help! Yet…

They sit, they wait, they watch

as he steals everything of her being. 

Innocence stolen, future dies. Yet,

They sit, they wait, they watch

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Ears dull of hearing, eyes blind to seeing,

They turn away from her pain of yesteryear, and

They sit, they wait, they watch,

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Sitting, waiting and watching for something,

Perhaps HER to conform and fall in line, but, still,

They sit, they sit, they watch,

But she never opens her mouth to sing. 

Psalm 41:9 ESV

Even my close friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has lifted his heel against me.

Psalm 42:10-11

New International Version

10 My bones suffer mortal agony

    as my foes taunt me,

saying to me all day long,

    “Where is your God?”

11 Why, my soul, are you downcast?

    Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

    for I will yet praise him,

    my Savior and my God.

Encouragement:

Your voice is not unheard. Your broken heart is not silenced here nor unseen, I see you bleeding and so does the Father. He's the only that can heal the hurts. Turn to The God who heals you. Call upon His name.

Free falling

Falling,
I'm falling deeper
Love,
Love is calling my name
Affection,
Swells in my heart, it whispers, he's a keeper
Humility,
This is no place for pride or for shame
Name,
I have a new name.
Known,
He knows me fully and calls me His own
Justified,
I stand in right standing, if it's all the same.
Cherished,
I'm the apple of His eye, in Him I'm home.
Pieces,
Broken pieces put together again
End,
Old life is gone, new life can begin.
Sing,
The song of my heart praise Him again and again.
Safe,
And sound and saved, no loss just gain.
Bad,
I've got it bad for this God, no lie
Stutter,
My heart flutters and skips a beat, I'm gone
Action,
He beckons me forward to die
Die,
To self, blessed is the man who finds life in Him alone.
Eternity,
Starts now in the every day choices
Mortal,
I am no longer
Immortal,
My spirit and soul, body to catch up, she rejoices
Glory,
I can go on n on, this love, I'm a goner.
falling,
I'm falling deeper.
Love,
Love is calling my name.

Psalm 86:12: "I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever."
Psalm 138:1: "I will praise you, Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I will sing praises to you."
Psalm 9:1: "I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done."
Isaiah 43:1
King James Version
43 But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.

encouragement: so you've tried and failed at love, it escapes you, love unreturned, or given to the wrong one? then try jesus! fall in love with Him, he'll never break your heart, He'll never cheat on you, He is for YOU.

falling deeper

Telle wild rose ©️ 2025

The itch underneath my skin, scratching,

Crawling, searching for something. 

My drug is of a different sort but just as deadly,

I've been turning to it a lot lately. 

Done fighting the urge

To dig into the flesh and sin purge.

Brought down to my knees, low

But not for worship, but reaping what I sow. 

Angels and demons battle over my shoulder,

See now this thing she thinks to do, nothing shall withold her. 

Watching, waiting aimlessly around

The darkness is finally gaining ground

John 1:5

King James Version

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Encouragent: when you feel like giving in, don't. Hold on, your redemption draws near.

Don't let me, let go a Poem by Telle Wild Rose 2025 ©

Theme song: thebandred "shadows" 

these thoughts consume me,

threaten to overtake me.

they force my hand,

ill try to hold on if i can.

cut everyone off, no one loves you,

honeyed lies they whisper, sound so sweet too.

just let go, release, 

no one will care, be free.

isolate, dungeon,

down here no friends, just demons, a legion.

i cant save me,

i cant save them either you see.

too weak to fight

something is not right,

darkenss take ahold,

i must do all of what im told 

i smile and pretend, 

no one suspects this is my end.

this is where i die, and the evil takes over,

quickly now, run for cover.

shadows choke the scream,

pain killed a dying dream.

blind and deaf,

a small taste of the shadow of death.

help me, im drowing,

please, the torment is too much, im dying.

bleed the red, go on,

break the skin, we've already won.

hate, a kind of passion,

we see you still havent learned your lesson.

wait, stop, dont go,

were just getting started with the show.

falling, fading fast,

is it over? how long will this last?

calling all saints for help, a sister to keep,

the dragon has arrived, he keeps me in his heap. 

a useless treasure,

no value to measure.

how did i ever dare for dreams?

a better life? everything and yet nothing, is as it seems.

Scripture: Psalm 23:4 ESV / 43 helpful votes Helpful Not Helpful

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Encouragement: if you're feeling alone, unloved, rejected or the enemy is lying to you about it all, just Know God has loved you with an everlasting love, that no evil can overtake you, HE is always near.
