Just maybe
Grey mirror Sep 2019
Maybe it was only at the surface
Maybe that's why God asked you to leave me.
Maybe He knew me as the 'deep one'
And superficial only creates questions,
the Chaotic kind that cripples my mind.
Maybe someday I will smile again
Even if the questions remain unanswered.

The Promise
Grey mirror Nov 2017
A promise is meant to be broken,
Kept only for a mellifluous moment,
A whisper so melodious to the ear
But never an indelible action.
Only one is deep rooted,
Conquered with love
A sacrificial affection.
To die and to rise
Was the only solution
For a home in Heaven,
A promise
never to be broken.
1John 2:25
This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.

A second chance?
Grey mirror May 2020
Would you stay, like I stayed
Would you forgive, like I did
Would you love when I'm out of reach
Or would this be a momentary feel.
Would I be easily replaced again
But this time, would you please have the guts to tell.
It's ok to fall out of love, I get it
We are not married yet!
But it's not okay to be infidel!
Would you give a partner who cheated a second chance?

Shallow truth
Grey mirror Jan 2019
How can it be a habit
For someone to be forgotten
Like a shadow who follows
And requires no attention.?
Unless, you were never in their hearts
To be reminisce about from the start.
You were just a moment's delight.
But never a keeper for long nights.
To some you may not be important. So stick to the few that knows your worth.

Reach out
Grey mirror Sep 2017
We wake, we live,we laugh,we cry
We become blind to those who die inside.
Telling themselves lies
"You are the unworthy kind"
Fighting an unending battle
All alone and the fear rattles

Society can't save their live
Tagged​ them names,
they feel ashamed.
They breathe in the dark
For the sun acts like a spotlight
Revealing their unspoken misery.
Brainwashed, with a thought
of being more than dead,
they are misfits.

So you and I let's unite
Set aside our selfish hype.
Don't just pin the green ribbon to your shirt
But keep in mind, they are not different
There is no such thing as "their kind"
Depression is a phase most of us will encounter.
Like any other problem there is an answer.
Let's communicate-love,joy,hope,peace,
Reach out,
We need each other
Unite join the fight.
I was a victim of depression, saved by grace and by the love and care of Friends and family.
For those struggling with depression, know this- you are not alone.

Sheep into wool
Grey mirror Oct 2017
The wolf killed the sheep in me
My innocence left to bleed
Now a slave to knitting needles
A helpless yarn of wool.
The world and it's cruelty turn freedom into slavery

Gypsy soul
Grey mirror Oct 2017
He is a gypsy soul
With his trail on the road.
Bathe in nature's bliss
He desires a tropical Island's kiss.
Passionate for adventure,
Take him high or low,
There his wild heart will go.
Gypsy soul

Intangible hollow
Grey mirror Oct 2017
I tried to fill this empty
With all the worldly delicacies
A momentary satiety,
Although I was well aware
This hollowness is dynamic
The intangible kind
Invisible to the naked eye.
Yet how shallow
was my perception.

Only unconditional love
So intangible
unimaginable,
Dynamic yet splendid,
Can fill this empty hollow
And grace thus follows.
Only the love Of Jesus can fill the empty void within, and He saves us through grace.

Think twice
Grey mirror Sep 2020
We live in a world made of self love
"My body my choice"
But what about those who desire to be mothers
Thinking "if only they had given the baby a chance,
Probably I would be able to give something better".
We believe in "my own choice", but we don't think of the baby's will to choose
because they don't have a voice?
The answer we give is
There are so many babies dying of hunger.
But boy or boy, would any mother
allow their own child to suffer?
Think twice, pro life or pro choice.
Most of the time the decision we make will always affect others as well. So think twice.

Live
Grey mirror Oct 2017
Live for each moment,
There may never be a next time.
Don't let your sorrow drown you, but shake it off, live like there is no tomorrow

In between
Grey mirror Oct 2017
Be kind
But stay witty,
For there are always
Prowlers in between.
Love man, trust God, for man is flawed and will leave you hurt. So stay alert.

Ungrateful kind
Grey mirror Oct 2017
I have a God
But I keep saying
I don't have enough
I'm way too fat
I am unloved

The only one
That shed his blood
For my sins
the only one
Who sacrificed His life
So I may have a place
In Heaven
Isn't that love?

But I still belong
To the ungrateful kind
A lazy swine
Who only whines
Nothing is ever enough.
We are the generation of the ungrateful. Nothing is ever enough.We make our problems God size, when will we realise God is more than enough!

Mirror image
Grey mirror Oct 2017
The universe
wasn't vindictive.
It was just
your mirror image,
Reflecting
your words
Back at you.
Stop whispering lies that you are not good enough, and that you deserve nothing but bad omens. Those words will keep hurting you, so stop hurting yourself. The mistakes you've made are in the past and does not define your future.

Knock down my walls
Grey mirror Oct 2017
It's not enough,
To live without love.
Love was on pause,
I didn't want people
to see my flaws.
I needed my space
Not another face.
But it stopped.
I'm behind brick walls
Thicker and tall
Harder to break.
With a sign
"Please go away".

But you knocked anyways
And you said
*"Beloved, I"m here to stay"
1John 4:8
God is love

He is love that is willing to stay.

Life- its own time.
Grey mirror Sep 2017
life -a fairy tale
Happily ever after
I, the author of every page.
Here comes the Queen. Hail!!
When the kingdom was in chaos
The reign of terror began,
Easy to blame
My subjects my slaves,
A narcissist prevailed.

Humbling myself ,an enormous leap
A pauper's shoes indeed.
Looking through the eyes of others
I had a peep,
The life of struggle, an eye opener.
Failure and reckless decision
Were no longer frightening.
Life- a surprise,* What's next,
A road to a storm or a silver lining?
Both an adventure, worth every dime.
*A journey in its own time.
I always plan ahead, if things doesn't go my way according to my time, well let's just say a monster unravels. But lately I tried listening and being patient, putting others need before mine. Somehow my life is a better journey, things happened in its own time.

Luxurious love.
Grey mirror Sep 2017
The tags and labels
Drew you to a soul
Having luxury
was definitely your goal
You caught a glimpse of
The fresh scars,
The tags and labels
Were just masks.
Slowly you faded,
Your disregard was a flaw.
But when your priceless accessories
Were misplaced
In a second you wailed
You recalled each detail
The cost, the glitz
That gave you the glam.
But can they love you more
Than that inexpensive soul
You can't afford to hold?
Let us understand that a soul is worth more than designer clothes and costly accessories, For man is made in the image of our Creator, hence more valuable than any other.

Self help
Grey mirror Sep 2017
A little introspection is vital
Now and then
To correct what needs to be corrected
To accept what needs to be accepted.
we need to understand ourselves better... So study every detail about yourselves. Self help is much needed.

This fall
Grey mirror Oct 2017
My past sheds off
This fall
Wrinkling away
In the shades
Yellow orange brown
Dying on
the winter ground.
Clothing, grooming
My frozen soul
To spring out fresh love
In the summer rain.
Leaving the past behind this fall

Steer your wheel
Grey mirror Oct 2017
Don't let emotions
take the wheel
But steer it
In the direction
You need to be.
Don't let emotions control you. Learn to take control.

A deadly Sin
Grey mirror Nov 2024
Have you ever had an emotion surfaced after many years?
It's not the kind that brings you to tears
Rather It makes you clench your fist.
The kind that brings out your darkest side.
It needs to be tamed,
It needs to be chained.
The kind that terrifies your own soul.

It is best dealt on your knees in the quiet company of...
The One that is not visible to the human eye,
The only one capable of forgiving the seven deadly sins.
The provider of peace in the midst of the turmoil coming from within.
Bruised psyche...

Tears of unknown origin
Grey mirror Sep 2017
You are crying
Tears keep flowing
Everything else is growing
Your family your friends
You're not a burden
But you cry and cry
Your work is flying
Taking its toll
Even being applaud
You are blessed
With ever need ever desire.
But you're crying
You even asked yourself
"Why are you crying?"
you can't understand
You feel frustrated
You want to bang your head
Against the wall
Because you cry
Yet you don't know why?

Curious minds
Grey mirror Nov 2024
Simplicity is something to be admired
Intelligence is something to be adored.
Never undermine the ones full of questions
They are the ones not entirely corrupted by the streaming industries
Or easily influenced by the twisted truths of the world.
Let us continue to ask questions with the intent to learn and not with a preconceived notion.

Darkling
Grey mirror Sep 2024
Oh so dark oh so gloomy
A grey cloud hovering over your head
Seeing you like this breaks my heart
I long to make you smile
I long for you to break free with a fruitful life.
I can see that you are chained to your adversities.
No matter how much I try
The chains grow tighter and tighter!
You have a void
That you try to fill with withering pleasures.
I had no desire to leave
However, only one can heal
I pray you seek Him diligently.

— The End —
