Powerful you are and Almighty is your name; Heaven being your dwelling place And earth thy creation. Since my childhood, I’ve heard of you As savior, mighty, redeemer and everlasting I thought all those shall come to pass As days fade away and time goes. I believed there’s an end to everything But none of my thoughts were true. Only because… You are the unchanging changer; The uncreated creator; The unseen seer; and The untrusted trust. My childhood days are over And you’re still called Jehovah You’re nature’s antonym When days becomes nights and darker; Instead of being powerless and older Amazingly that’s when you become powerful and bolder. For your constant nature O’ God, Almighty God still suits you well even today.

GOD'S CONSTANT NATURE
Bit by bit I left subconsciously Eating the same meal continuously; Little did I know it was rotten For I believed it was already broken; Knowledge without interpretations killed me. I found myself on a ride Only to realize insanity was the driver In my head the journey was to “sanity” Not considering the promise of “purity”. It didn’t take long and I was gone… I believed the cure to my disease Was my illness; Losing all parts of me and those that Make me up. I gave away my sanity for insanity; My soberness for drunkenness; My emotional state for approval; My physicality for adaptation; I gave you my presence and you took My dignity away from me. Tears were involved, and so was blood. Pain became my breakfast as anger Was my supper. My heart had to adjust its veins and arteries Just to accommodate the pain, anger and hurt. I sacrificed my being To fit in your life. You made me feel special Until you framed someone in my own home And then you told me “it was a game” Besides the self-sacrifice I made, You persecuted and intimidated me. I wasn’t like this until I met you You’ve always been that drug That I was scared to attempt; Until I tried you and you actually Was sweet… I had no reason to reject your sweetness For I’m only allergic to bitterness And that was the gown you had in Your wardrobe but never wear. I sold myself out and now I’m in debts. I’m the one who needs rehab For I’m the addict, and you’re only the drug. You took my sanity and still Came back for the insanity in me. You basically want me empty handed With you as my last resort. I felt deprived of sweet things in life, And you were always ready; My eyes were open but closed; My heart locked but open; My knowledge was restricted; And honestly I was gone. I started not making sense For I lost understanding of my actions and deeds. Not only did I lose wisdom and knowledge But MYSELF too. The precious me that I always took care of, The gorgeous me that appeared to only Exist in my sanity of which I lost. My capacity was overwhelmed by being overwhelmed; I couldn’t stand the things against me Hence I always took the easy route; and that Being the destruction of the patience in me. I fooled myself, I owe myself An apology; For my life was never my Methodology. It didn’t take long and I was gone… How do I regain myself back, And at what price? I want “me” back, I miss “me” Why did I sell myself so cheap, For what visible benefits? I fell for luxurious things AND I WAS GONE!

AND HONESTLY I WAS GONE

At first it was so good for it seemed forever and endless, I even wrote a book for I was restless. Who would have known maybe it was no more, but it never shown and it was already torn. I gave it a thought and knew it shouldn't be brought as it was nothing we just wanted to make it something. my love for you was more than a feeling, for whenever I'm with you we will be flirting, but you never paid attention and i only needed your ascension... to grow in the middle of calamity and prosper even when things are hard. I just gave it a thought we don't belong together; and I'm glad for what we had together. I had to forget about the rest, thinking I'm trying the best but the results were the same now i think I'm insane; for loving you so deep while i cant even sip a hot drink. The opportunity we had wasn't least, but it was the last. ever since i gave it a thought i see life in a new way its like I'm driving on a free way... it all happened after I GAVE IT A THOUGHT.
