Gracefully
Gods1son Jan 2019
He is my Shephard
And I'm His sheep
He supplies all my needs,
Gracefully

That's right,
I graze fully!

Books
Gods1son Sep 2018
They say read at least one a week
If I don't,
do you think I'm weak
If I do,
do you think I'm smart or
I filled my brain with other people's art.

Be easy on me
Gods1son Jan 2019
I can't understand why I overjudge myself
When I could pat me on the back instead
Even when the results are speaking,
My judgmental mind keeps yelling

Like, you could have done it better
Out there, I'm showered with praises
But within me, I'm pressured like a cooker
Roll boiling within without releasing the steam
Who also feels like that? Like, you are doing really well and your results are speaking but you still feel like you could have done more.

Blessed life
Gods1son Nov 2019
Surrounded by blessings, it's all I see & hear
Lack is noise and it's being cancelled out
Wherever the enemy stays, lurking
I have Angels around, constantly watching
All of my supplies come from above,
I have no fears of it running out
When things look a little undesirable,
Stressing & worrying are unrequired,
I simply lift up my voice like a mass choir
And He does the works of His hands like He's unretired
A blessed life is that of faith & not of senses.

My past is not who I am
Gods1son Apr 2019
Don't judge me by my past
I learned and I've moved on
You cannot define me by my mistakes
They've refined me into a better being
My gaze is on the things ahead
I left the past behind
I was once planted where you're looking
But I'm not stationary like a tree
Like the wind, I am free
If you like to dwell in the past,
please let me be!

Inseparable
Gods1son Dec 2018
Unplanned event was it, the first time I saw you
Courage, it took that day to approach you
Admiration of you couldn't stop in my head before the second time I met with you
More attraction is what I feel everytime I talk to you
Deeper connection is what we build everytime I meet with you
Inseparable force is what we've got between us
This is called love unstoppable with no pause!

A dream & a seed
Gods1son Feb 2020
A dream is like a seed in a number of ways

A seed in hand (not planted) remains
a seed and a dream in mind (not worked
out) remains a dream.

A dream needs a favorable environment
to materialize like a seed needs a fertile soil.

A dream requires time to become
a full-blown reality, same as the growth
of a seed into a tree.

A dream can be choked when surrounded
by wrong people like a seed planted
amongst weeds.

A seed becomes a plant and gives out oxygen,
fruits to people. A dream should be beyond self
but be beneficial to other people.

Fight!
Gods1son Sep 2019
Fight! Fight!! I said fight!!!
Fight for what you believe in
Not the fight where you throw punches
But by pushing through with tenacity
Look the challenges in the eyes,
Charge towards it with a brave heart
Take every step with a victor's mentality
Never back down even if you get hit
Listen to me, to surmount an uneasy feat,
You have to be willing to face the heat
You'll never win if you don't attempt it
So, fight like your entire life depends on it
You'll be more than happy that you did
My friend, now is the time to go take
what is already yours
Once you win, remember to inspire someone else.

Float
Gods1son Apr 2020
Tiny seeps of water into a boat
over an extended period of time
could eventually sink the boat.

Note—
The outside water isn't the trouble
but the one that is allowed to get in.

See the outside water as the crises
going on in the world today and
See yourself as the boat.

It is your duty to protect your soul
Don't let the news find its way within you
Remember—what is inside is more valuable
than everything on the outside combined.

Stay woke
Gods1son Aug 2020
Misinformation is a tool used
by the media to ***** those
who would not dig to the root,
to find the truth.

What's the use of a huge load of
information if it ain't true—it's no good

Bold captions aren't always true depiction
of the actual situation
Don't be played by corporations
and institutions that want to keep
us in subjection.

Beware of their manipulations
Stay woke!

Healing

Forgiveness
liberates
the forgiver.
Healing
never finishes
without
the offended
forviging
the offender.

Completely heal
Gods1son Dec 2019
When I forgave you,
I didn't do it for you.
I did it for me,
So that I might be free.

Choosing to not forgive,
Is to rub salt in my own wound.
The deed has already been done,
I won't allow the hurt to compound.

So I forgave your trespasses,
That my wound might fully heal.
Though the scars are still visible,
My heart towards you is totally clean.
The fastest way to heal is to forgive who wronged you and forgive yourself if you were mad at yourself for allowing yourself get hurt.

Love birds
Gods1son Feb 2019
You laid your love in my heart
Like a hen will lay an egg
An egg you did protect
With everything you've got

Your thoughts keep my heart warm
Incubating your love egg
Into a lovely lively chick
A chick well nurtured to a hen

What began as an egg, now multiple hens
Collection of memorable events
My heart is all yours
Lay as much as you can
171 · Aug 2020
Love of self
Gods1son Aug 2020
Love has to firstly look/reach inwards
before it can be expressed outwardly
You ought to love your neighbor as yourself
Meaning that—love truly begins with self
If you don't love you, it will be hard
for you to love others.

Let me live, pls!
Gods1son Nov 2019
While walking down the alley
There stood a guy with
something like a gun in his pocket
My eyes popped out of their sockets
My heart started beating off beat
Not sure exactly what to think
Am I supposed to run?
Am I about to be robbed?
Oh, he began to move towards me
Oh my, he looked really mean
He pulled the thing out and it was a gun
Give me your phone! Give me your wallet!
With teary eyes and trembling voice,
You can have it all, please let me live!
Plea...please...please... Let me leave!
Run for your life, do not look back he said
After running for a few minutes,
Turned back and it was all a dream!

To love is to do
Gods1son Apr 2019
They say, repeat a word too many times
And it would lose its meaning
I wonder if the word "love" is a victim of this

Is it overused such that
it's true meaning is lost
Looking around today,
Love is more of a word spoken
And less of an action taken

It pays to speak less and do more!
170 · Nov 2019
I am enough
Gods1son Nov 2019
"I am not enough", what a deceitful feeling
Deep within resides power with no limits
The road ahead might appear unclear
The pressure might seem too much to bear

But the strategy is to keep on pushing
Through thick and thin, to keep on moving
To strike out quitting from the options
To embrace all the journey's emotions

Deep within us lies all that it takes
To become whoever we decide to be
"I am not enough" is a lie to get us stuck
Engrave the "I can" mindset in your thoughts.
170 · Jan 2019
Let me feel it
Gods1son Jan 2019
Yea, I know you love me
I've heard that before
Can you do more than saying it?
The Sun doesn't say it's hot,
You feel the heat
Take a cue from the Sun.

No retreat
Gods1son May 2019
Don't be shy to shed those tears
Afterwards face your fears
Climb those stairs, step by step
Be inspired by your scars
When it's dark,
watch them shine like the stars
Be reminded the skies
is your playing ground
Don't stop pushing till
you make the victory sound
Do it, c'mon now!

Dilemma
Gods1son Sep 2018
Distressing peace
Discomforting ease
Troubling serenity...
That's how I feel
When I have wronged you
And you choose to ignore it
168 · Sep 2020
Why???
Gods1son Sep 2020
Sitting by myself, pondering life
Why is man's biggest enemy an organism
of his own kind?
Why can't every single person be kind?
What's the need for all these strife?
What's the use of power if the aftermath is sour?  
Why is there so much pain, why do we try to hide it?
What is love? Is it real? why is it rare to find?
Why do we fall for lies and
despise the truth — what is true?
Why is the rate of divorce very high?
Why do people have to get high to get by?
Why do babies die?
What is life?
Why are there many questions but no answers?
WHY???
168 · Nov 2018
Wrinkled, yet worthy
Gods1son Nov 2018
A wrinkled 10 dollar bill
Is 10 dollars still
And well worth spending

A wrinkled heart
Is still a heart
And well worth breathing and believing

A wrinkled path or life
Is still a life
And well worth living!

The day he learned
Gods1son Jan 2020
...And this time
She didn't want him to fix her situation
She only needed him to listen carefully
To understand her feelings & emotions
without him trying to offer any solution

But his brain was like a search engine
Busy scanning and searching for answers
Thus, failing to make an emotional connection.

*******... She reached for the door
But he was wise enough to not let her go
Then he asked where he had gone wrong
With tears in her eyes, she said...
Empathy means more to her than a quick fix

And he totally agreed that he had flawed
He then listened intently to her, knodding
his head as she poured out her heart
And that night ended with a warmly hug
That's all she desired & she slept with a smile.
167 · Jul 2019
Broken to beauty
Gods1son Jul 2019
You broke my heart
But I reclaimed the broken pieces
by forgiving you
If I don't let go,
Then I won't be whole.

One thing that is for sure,
I'll put the pieces together
To create a better me
A catalyst for my growth, you are
You presented me with an opportunity
To be even more beautiful!
167 · May 2019
Green again
Gods1son May 2019
What used to be naked trees
Are now clothed with leaves
Looking out and seeing the greens
Inspires productivity
Tough times/seasons will come and go
Shedding [off] is not a bad thing
Perseverance is a path to victory!
167 · Sep 2018
I found me
Gods1son Sep 2018
This life that I live
Is a second version of you
Or an exact copy of you
I might as well live it in you

My vision is blurred
So is my mission flawed
Because I lost mine,
And what I'm living is yours

I wanted to be like you
It appears I've forgone my path
Now, I need to get it right
And get back on my track

I'm done with you
I'm tired and sick
I don't mean to disrespect you
But I figured my life is unique!

Wealthiness is a place that can be reached
Success is an unending journey with many checkpoints.

Camouflage
Gods1son Jun 2019
Beauty can be deceiving
Flashy cars and gleaming jewelry
can be alluring
But there is no depth to material things

Journey down the alley of a person's mind
Therein lies their true value and worth
Listen to their spoken and unspoken words

A book's cover might not
be representative of its content
Study in between the lines
of a person's heart
And you will find their true color.
167 · Jun 2019
After you left...
Gods1son Jun 2019
I thought we were cool
I used to see me as your Queen
I had no idea you saw me as a tool,
To be used,
Dumped
And picked up whenever you want to
I was blindly in love
My feelings for you were
untainted and raw
I know it was my heart that shattered
But I still count it your loss
You helped me discover my worth
I wouldn't say I'm happy that you left
But I'm full of joy
for the woman I've become
So, I say thank you for leaving
And I never wish for your return
You helped metamorphose
my caterpillar into a butterfly
Flap! Flap!! Flap!!!
I flew and I'm not turning back.
167 · Sep 2018
Leaving
Gods1son Sep 2018
I can't understand why I'm still breathing
You were my reason for living
I can't believe one day u would be leaving
As I'm writing this, I'm weeping
I just hope you are kidding
Baby, I'm right here pleading
I cry out loud, pls recieve me!
When the ONE you care about the most is gone
166 · Oct 2018
Another world!
Gods1son Oct 2018
Even with the chaos in the world today

The sky still remains blue
The grass still stays green
The air is still very clean
The economy is still flourishing

That's the world I see when I look into your eyes

With you in my arms, nothing is more comforting
To you, I wanna cling
To hear those words that makes me grin
All my worries, you blew

I will be by you everyday!

Unearned love
Gods1son Oct 2019
Ocean deep, sky high
Your love for me knows no bounds
Even when I act a fool,
You never stopped being faithful
Sometimes I wonder what you see in me
It must be Your own image that you see
Even though I feel like I don't deserve it
Yet I wouldn't live a day without it
What can I ever do without Your love
I rely on it more than my blood
Your love for me is pristine & unearned
All I've got to say is... Thank You, Lord!

In the mirror
Gods1son Aug 2019
When I look in the mirror
I see the best figure,
An image dripping with
God's beauty,
shining from head to toe
As if wearing a garment
flooded with diamonds.
An embodiment of glory
An actor of a success story
I see an image of love
A bearer of good news
An unstoppable force
An indomitable power
I see greatness
I see kindness
I see peace
I see me.
What do you see when you look in the mirror?
165 · Mar 2021
Masterpiece
Gods1son Mar 2021
What an amazing Masterpiece you are
But, a Masterpiece cannot be valued by all
If allowed, some would even rip it into pieces
See, it's easier to admire (like) something
than to cherish (care for) that same thing

Plus, some people are not ready to make sacrifices
So, protect your heart, knowing how valuable it is
Don't place it into any hand that doesn't know its worth
Remember, you are God's cherished Masterpiece.
165 · Nov 2019
Take the lead
Gods1son Nov 2019
Dear Lord, Take my hand
Walk me along the path that
You designed for me beforehand
I cannot walk this walk alone
I cannot do this on my own
My own strength will fail me
My knowledge alone won't carry me far
Empower me with divine might
Give unto me discernment and insight
Let Your will for my life gain preeminence
Let my walk speak of Your excellence
Let my story be a narrative of Your glory
So that all the praises ascend to You
Take my hand Lord,
I wish I could promise my total obedience
But I'll be submissive as much as I can be.
164 · Feb 2020
Blessing in disguise
Gods1son Feb 2020
Uncontestably, God is the greatest
whenever He allows me go through a test
I know He's trying to bring out my best
Yet, I still find myself questioning
myself and/or Him –
Why is this happening?
What have I done wrong?
However, with patience, trusting in Him
and yielding to Him
The tests usually turn out to be blessings.
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

Once broken

Once broken
Shattered pieces
Re-created anew
Unexpectedly solved puzzle
Stunning

Unfathomable
Once broken, now golden

Togetherly
Gods1son Feb 2020
Instead of speaking ill of one another
We could help each other heal
Instead of going for one another's throat
We could help keep each other afloat
Instead of oppressing one another
Could we consider upholding each other
The beauty of a puzzle is seen when
its pieces are put together rightly.
163 · Jan 2019
The mind
Gods1son Jan 2019
The mind is like a plunge pool
Where waterfall of thoughts
And information flows into
The size and depth of the pool depends on
The volume and height of the waterfall
The hardness of the mind also determines
How deep the pool can go

Receive good thoughts and information
On an unhardened mind!

What is Love?
Gods1son Apr 2020
Why is it easier to spread the message of
fear and get the people terrified, petrified
Than it is to propagate the message of
love and get the people inspired, unified.

Is fear truly more powerful than love?
Does fear have a stronger grip than love?
Are we more receptive to fear than love?
Are we more fed with fear than love?
Is love the answer or is love overrated?

Or maybe I should just ask—
what really is Love?
162 · Aug 2020
The Path
Gods1son Aug 2020
Your journey becomes clearer the further you proceed.

Wanting to know the end before starting
is a reason to never start.

It's important to plan but reality will always
switch the script—for better or otherwise.

The key is to have a vision, plan, proceed,
learn and adjust accordingly.
162 · Apr 2020
Transfer of ownership
Gods1son Apr 2020
Why do we often transfer our blames to
a third party entity — someone, something,
the devil or any other external thing
outside ourselves? Why!

As we point a finger at our accused,
three fingers of ours are pointing at us
like — Listen, this is on you!

It's easier to shush the voice of the truth
But acknowledgement has to come before
improvement or advancement.
Take ownership of your wrongs and
match on to do better.
161 · Apr 2019
Feelingless
Gods1son Apr 2019
Bullets from a steel
Turning living bodies still
The max a killer gets is life behind bars
Or in some places, the chair
But none of those
will bring a lost life back

Why do we have humans
with their human feelings
disposed in the landfill?

DNA
Gods1son Apr 2020
DNA
When you realize that you have greatness in your DNA
And that nothing can successfully stand in your way
Obstacles & hurdles wouldn't bother you
because you know you'll always scale through
You become aware that nothing can limit you
because the greater One lives inside of you
You become conscious that you were born a winner
designed to be victorious and indomitable
And the only one capable of stopping you, is you.

Highway of life
Gods1son Dec 2018
I was going to see a friend who lives about 2 hours drive away
I merged on the highway with 2 other cars
To join the hundreds of cars on the road
As I drove...
I saw cars branch off the highway
I saw cars broken down by the roadside
I overtook some cars and
Some other cars overtook me as well
I left some cars behind and they passed me later
I competed with some drivers like we were headed the same place
After all the driving and competition,
I arrived at my destination alone
Does this not sound like life?
