Day 6 Spring 2013 7in7

Days 4 & 5 I literally wrote nothing. Wah Wah. 

Here's what I wrote tonight:

We cut each other deep with

The words we said that night 

Our hearts they broke

And our eyes did cry 

But we choose to love each other

And as our love breaks through

We exchange apologies

We hold each other close

Love is tough

But it's so worth the struggle 

Day 3 Spring 2014

I've built myself a refuge

Closed off from other people

The fear of rejection

Is strong enough to hold me back

I never let anyone in

And if you try, I will push you back

It's hard to believe that

Anyone could love me

I'm just a person so

Small and lowly 

How could I matter to You

After all that I've done

I'm just so small

Day 2 Spring 2014 7in7

Not a lot written today. Felt like my brain was sludge, and just felt really tired today. Here is what I have:

I am empty

I am dry

My parched soul is panting

To find the streams

Of everlasting life 

Day 1 Spring 2014 7in7

I have once again, taken the plunge to participate in 7in7. 

Basically, 7in7 is a challenge to storytellers, songwriters and artists to create seven complete pieces of art in seven consecutive days. 

I love to write songs, so I have always taken the challenge as a songwriter. 

I will say it definitely will be harder since I have a very active 3 year old AND I am almost 7 months pregnant! 

I received an email about 7in7 on Monday (04/07/2014) letting me know they were starting the challenge on Thursday (04/10/2014).

Talk about late notice...

Anyways, I had no intentions on participating, until Wednesday night.

I felt a little tug, like, I need to do this. So, at 11 pm Wednesday, I signed up.

Here is what I wrote for Day 1. I'm hoping to record it to Sound Cloud at a later date:

Why do I wait

Until I hit rock bottom

To reach for You?

With my face in the dirt

And my pride feeling hurt

I know I should have known better

The mistakes I have made

Are stuck on repeat

You think I would change

But I really like myself

I know You know better than me

You see the me that I can be

All I need to do is let You in

And let You change me from the inside
