Overcome

 Do not let evil have its way

Be good and overcome

In haste rouse not leviathan 

Take rest along the Way 

Hedged in and harried

Turn within

Hide beneath the Wings

Look out and see 

no enemy 

Rise up, my child, and sing

Poem: Drowning is Silent

 I'm going under again 

And no one notices

Because my lungs are filled with water 

And I can't get air in them anymore 

Much less cry or yell 

I can't even gasp or whisper

I disappear again 

beneath the surface 

Out of sight out of mind

Or maybe not

maybe they think 

my appearing and disappearing 

is because

I'm damaged and strange

I see people talking 

What is she doing 

Why does she not come around 

anymore

She told her woeful story 

Over and over and cried

And we cried 

And told her she was strong

But I'm not
