Alive! Yes, I am alive Though my Body stretched and worn The Heart heavy and sore Feeling used and abused But still I am alive. Alive! Yes, I am alive Though weary and torn The Mind losing control Fear wrap to the bones But still I am alive. Alive! No, I want to die Though happy outside The lips bent and wide Full luck on my side But still I want to die.

The Strong and the Weak
Buy me a casket and bury me six-feet deep Parade the white flowers and the candle sticks Tell Mama and Papa do not cry I will **** Myself and be Alive. Shove the earth and push me In Along with my old coat and sufferings That’s where I belong and so are you Now take this Knife and follow me The Ghost of me will be with you For this Body shall live and fly with the Moon Talk to the stars and sleep in the clouds Sing with the angels with their harps and lyres

The Old-Self
Two years and running but still standing still Standing while waiting amid the highest hills Steep and slippery, too afraid to climb I might fall and break my pride. Waiting with Comfort and Self-preservation This two best friends will lull me to death I am not getting younger, so is she Maybe she’ll find a stranger and pass by me. Father said “at the set time” Like Sarah and Abraham waiting for a child Should I laugh like them in disbelief? Or my faith is not strong enough to bleed. I know the enemy and it is Me And my confidence should be Him not in mine Blessed be the Father for He is Love Yes, Lord! Let’s fix this wings and soar above.

Awaiting
Dark is the Well to the bottom of my heart Deeper than Joseph's cistern in Dothan Should you try to fetch a water for a drink? Where moss and mosquitos give life and live. Shepherds and Herders pass by and spit Said "its a curse and empty abyss" Yet mosquitos live and form there families And other lifeforms here they sleep. For them its "The Well of Life" Though its stinks and useless for your needs Your spit and curses can be there food Forming new life and birth. Foul and useless this Well maybe But someday a Living Water will be fetched For I heard a One Shepherd who drank and bathed in this pit He said "I will reach this abyss and pour Living Water in it"
