Today is going to be a great day
even if all that they have to say
is complaining and griping all day long
I know that with Jesus I will stay strong
I will not gossip with ladies at work
I won't roll my eyes or curse or smirk
Negative banter is just not for me
it just goes in circles continuously
dwelling on problems they just cant fix
creates all sorts of nervous ticks
at work all day but on their phone
wondering why they feel so alone
arguments between young and old
nobody doing what they are told
nope, I just sit there and work quietly
accomplishing more most diligently
and when I've decided to take my leave
with no tricks or selfishness up my sleeve
they might notice and they might just see
that it was Jesus who was working through me

Love and It's Opposite
Fearless Sep 2020
I traveled round the world
to study love and fear
and took it upon myself
to write about it here

first I studied love
'cause I fell for this bloke
then I was afraid
and thought love was a joke

then I studied fear
because it gripped me so
it followed me about
wherever I would go

I ran and ran and tried
just to get away
but it was always there
like it was here to stay

then one day it happened
while searching for the cure
I realized how to get it
that feeling that was pure

confident and brave
and no longer afraid
there's nothing in this life
that I would ever trade

I know it will sound simple
it really is quite odd
love will cure your fear
when you accept that you're not God
Fearless Dec 2019
It's impossible to love a person who thinks they are God
strutting around saying "look at my ***"
I work out all day and I'm perfect as well
and if you don't think so you can all go to Hell

It is possible to love a God who came down as a man
loving everyone around Him with a wide open hand
He was kind and selfless and perfect in love
because His source of perfection came from above

one is a leech and takes all that he wants
his own "greatness" he so freely flaunts
he's selfish and arrogant and loves only himself
though he pretends, there's room for nobody else

The Other doesn't take a single thing from you
He's patient and kind, and shows you what to do
there's something that I should probably mention
He will never be flashy and demand you attention

The Reasons Why
Fearless Oct 2019
I am your God, no God's before me
This was a command for you, don't you see?
For if you love Me more than any other
then you won't be needy or clingy or smother

You shall not make an idol to pray to
a thing you can look at that can't even hear you
it will make you believe that I am not real
make you frustrated and numb, so you cannot feel

You shall not take My name in vain
this I told you for your own gain
for when you throw my name about
and use it when you scream and shout
you forget that I am the God of all
and you make Me seem so very small
How can you trust me to handle a prayer
if you don't even really believe I am there?

Remember to keep the Sabbath day
now listen to what I have to say
you will burn out, hopelessness will set in
if you ignore this and turn to sin
work will become the most crucial thing
causing anxiety and sleepless suffering
you will be bored, short tempered and stressed
that's why I gifted you with this day of rest

Honor the parents that I gave to you
don't hate them no matter what they may do
they are human, they'll make a mistake
but listen to them, for your own sake
if you give them your love and respect
then here is what you can hope to expect
they will respect you right back, you will see
then you will all live more peacefully

You shall not ****** another with thought
this shouldn't be something that needs to be taught

You shall not sleep with another's husband or wife
this will cause all of you nothing but strife
pain of betrayal and despairing rejection
can spread faster than any other infection
it destroys our ability to perceive love
and that is our best gift, straight from above

You shall not take what doesn't belong to you
there will be consequences, this is true
you could end up in jail locked in a cage
filled with sadness, despair, and all sorts of rage
the person you stole from will feel violated
and you will be guilty, and loathed, and hated

You shall not be a false witness in court
to condemn someone to a life that is short
if you lie under oath you are hurting another
and God said you should love him like a brother

You shall not covet your neighbor's things
not their big house, fancy cars, or glittering rings
then you will think you never have enough
and you will be so caught up in just stuff

There are two commandments that often are said
thinking the 10 are long gone and dead
the first is love Me above no other
the second is love yourself and all others
These are a statement to encompass all
so listen to these commands, big and small
Love me above others is all the first four
the last 6 help you to love others forevermore

Love is the thing that makes all this make sense
so you can have a happy life from now, hence
so make sure you love in all that you do
and you will have a happy life too.

Perfect
Fearless Apr 2020
There was a perfect man
who lived a perfect life
this was not an easy thing
but filled with temptation and strife

He had a group of friends
and they traveled all the land
healing lame and blind
or with a crippled hand

He was kind and he was funny
His friends loved Him so much
because He cared for all
with a gentle, healing touch

He turned water into wine
and He ate and drank with sinners
He was criticized and attacked
for having prostitutes at dinners

He was ridiculed and laughed at
they didn't like that he was right
it was bruising to their egos
and made them want to fight

they didn't like his teaching
His perfection made them look bad
they couldn't see it was for them
and this made Him very sad

so when He stood accused
and they threw things in His face
He just sat there quiet
and extended loving grace

when He died some would turn
and realize what He'd done
that He really was the Son of God
and Heaven had just won.

Soooo Boooorrrreddd
Fearless Feb 2020
I lay upon my bed and stare up at the ceiling
analyzing my thoughts, to figure out this feeling
I'm bored but I'm not, it's hard to explain
it happens a lot, but I don't like to complain
I could read my book, it's sitting by my side
but no, that just won't work. I've already tried
I could play piano, it's right over there
but back up at the ceiling I continue to stare
I think I'm kind of hungry, but I can't really tell
if something yummy from the kitchen made a smell
but getting up to cook it, is just not in my mood
so maybe I'm after something else, and it just isn't food
I could watch tv, this great show has caught my eye
but it just makes me lonely and wish I had a guy
I want to hang with friends, but they're all out of town
and that is why i'm bored, stuck with this stupid frown
I could entertain myself, there's so much I could do
but none of it is any fun when I'd rather be with you.

Promise
Fearless Jul 2020
rainbow painted across the sky
but it's sunny so I don't know why
when I feel out of sorts sometimes
and sit here writing silly rhymes
I wonder at things that I don't know
and I ask God to help me grow
there's more to life than what you see
I know there's more inside of me
To grow in faith and hope and love
is a gift straight from above
a rainbow's a promise many forgot
but many others were never taught
a promise God wouldn't destroy
dunking the world like a bathtub toy
a sign of patience in the sky
though His wrath we test and try
He just wants to love and save
and He wants us to behave
and do things that we know we should
behave the rules of OUR own good
We're the architects of our own pain
But He can save again and again

One Day at a Time
Fearless Oct 2019
From morning till night so many steps we take
and so many filled with a fear of mistake
if I do this thing how will my future fare
but if I do that thing, will I ever get there
indecisiveness comes and steals all our breath
so frustrated and lost and scared half to death
to have enough energy snort lots of *******
then fill that xanax 'script again and again
gotta drink to relax and forget all the stress
hungover and frazzled, your life is a mess
what if I had done this and not that
did I make the right choice? wait, am I getting fat?
there's so much going on that you lack concentration
and everything's spiraling causing frustration
perfection perfection, if you can just reach that goal
then you can finally relax then, and deal with the toll
If you were to just take one day at a time
don't even think ahead to the end of this rhyme
just take each day step by step, hour by hour
because honestly, you don't have any more power
you cannot control what will happen tomorrow
whether you'll be filled up with joy or with sorrow
a soldier who ran 10 miles one bright morning
that night found himself with one leg without warning
A millionaire's yacht burned up in a fire
for all his hard work and right thinking to fill his desire
a guy with the perfect family life
suddenly finds he has a cheating wife
nothing is certain in this world we're in
except for the bad repercussions of sin
relax and enjoy the years of your prime
and just live your life, one day at a time

Trapped in my Body
Fearless Jan 2020
squished against a bulging disc
the hairy strands of tingly nerves
you never know how much they do
or all the purposes they serve

a hand goes numb and fingers zing
you don't think when things are right
of all the things that could go wrong
till suddenly you have to fight

we grump and complain all day long
when things don't go just our way
never realizing what we've got
until we have to face the day

when we are sick our body fails
all those other things seem so small
till we're stuck in a body that doesn't work
and then we'd sacrifice it all

give all we have to walk again
to see or hear or move our arms
we take so much for granted
yes, you should feel alarmed

negative is an easy place to reach
thankful takes a lot more power
so if you can't seem to remember
just do it every time you're in the shower.

I'm one of the lucky ones
my arm will work again someday
God has spared me yet again
there's just no way I can repay

Love it and Leave it
Fearless Nov 2018
If you love him set him free
when time is right, come back to me
that's what they say but **** it hurts
emotions up and down in spurts

I struggle not to think of you
because I don't know what to do
when your face pops into my head
I sometimes wish that I was dead

I try to smile at the day
then on my knees I cry and pray
my aching heart skips inside
there's nothing left I haven't tried

I often stare out into space
shimmering tears run down my face
lost in thought and then bought back
trying not to think thoughts of lack

the gym helps me ignore my pain
and gives me something else to gain
I study when I have a break
exhausted from the smile I fake

I love you so I let you go
if you'll come back I do not know
freedom is my way of life
but for you i'd rather be a wife

I never thought that I would wed
but that was before I shared your bed
you make me laugh but give me space
you wiped a teardrop from my face

you should know when you come back
that I was always keeping track
of things you said that gave me hope
and not what made me cry and mope

I thought about the happy things
and pictured us with wedding rings
I looked in eyes of deepest blue
and in there all I saw was you

I saw inside your deepest fears
like I was looking in two mirrors
I saw your hopes and all your dreams
and your thoughts and imaginings

I saw the love that was inside
even though you tried to hide
I know you thought you did what's right
you didn't even put up a fight

you left me raw and heartbroken
unlike any other men
you made me pray and hope to die
its the truth I cannot lie

I get by just day to day
thoughts of you still in my way
though it's been months I sometimes cry
better every day that passes by

because I love you as you are
no matter if your near or far
though distance is what did us in
I know that I will someday win

someday you'll want my heart as yours
with other guys there may be wars
I'm wild, fun, and always free
they're always trying to tame me

but you loved me and you let me go
so if i'll come back, you do not know
you'll find out if you'll only try
together I feel like we can fly

freedom is a tricky thing
it can be lost with one little ring
or that can be what sets you free
I guess we'll have to wait and see
This is an old poem that I wrote, but I just found it so I thought I'd put it up.

Welcome to Club Seduction
Fearless Nov 2019
Welcome to Club Seduction
may I take your dignity?
you won't need that here
just come in and you will see

leave your self-worth at the door
it's your passage to get inside
now enter into hopeless land
where your personality can hide

we know that you can feel it
the sadness and despair
but here, have some alcohol
and drink till you don't care

over eager for attention
would you like flattery with that?
we'll give you anything you want
as long as you're not fat

now I just want to see
all the stuff you're working with
to see if it suits my fantasy
or if perfect is a myth

drink this and take that shot
and get up on that table
now show me what you got
hope you're mentally unstable

If a girl knows who she is
she'll never fall for all that crap
and then guys get so angry
'cause she won't fall in their trap

and I know that if a guy
shows the fortitude to wait
and not give in to cheap seduction
it fills these girls with hate

Now that, dear friends is why
the club is filled up with despair
because it's all a game of lies
and there is NO LOVE there.

My Little Heart Toy
Fearless Mar 2020
I sat a while and thought of you
it doesn't hurt me so
I'm writing this little poem
'cause I thought that you should know
the pain is gone the racing thoughts
that overwhelmed my brain
I had felt so much despair
would I be normal ever again?
now it's gone and when you chance
to cross over my mind
I find that it's ok now
and the hurt is left behind
I don't yearn, and I don't cry
over things that could have been
or throw a little tantrum
'cause this time I didn't win
I don't try to kid myself
that you're a dream come true
because now I know that's silly
and just not fair to you
you're just a boy with a life
living it the best you can
someday I hope you remember me
when you've become a man
so my advice to all those girls
who fall for a beautiful boy
if he's not ready to grow up
don't let him treat you like a toy
turn your back and walk away
you can't change him though you try
he'll come back around someday
if he is the right guy

Shine
Fearless Jul 2019
One day of heartbreak deepest dark
breath upon my neck, cold and stark
tears fell down like icy rain
and I cried out to you, not in vain
sobs so harsh they scraped my throat
walls up so high like a fiery moat
into my life no one could break
I was afraid they'd only take
take my friendship and use me
take my heart and abuse me
prison of my own making
human contact forsaking
I looked up and prayed to You
and my prayers, they were not few
dried up like a desert from all the tears
and I couldn't fight off all my fears
but You picked me up right off the dock
You are my God my shelter my rock
On the worst day I ever faced
I felt your love as You embraced
I felt the joy and it was mine
through me I could feel You shine
I can't explain just what it was
It's never happened but because
I went through these darkest times
You gave me the urge to write these rhymes
To help some broken hearted soul
and tell them that You are the goal
If you want to feel fearless and free
then I hope that you will listen to me
He can shine His POWER through you
and then you'll be the best of YOU

The Last Day
Fearless Mar 2020
the world is topsy turvy like a wobbly spinning top
which is just what they do, when they're about to stop
when fertility is low, and the world is overcrowded
it's not a big mystery that's dark and somehow shrouded

the oceans filled with plastic and earthquakes everywhere
but still we all just carry on, like we have not a care
pestilence in Africa is just one of many signs
that maybe this is taking place because of great designs

the love of humans has grown cold
no respect for those grown old
divorce and hate are commonplace
for this careless, selfish human race

some fighting just to save the world like it's a living soul
disregarding the purpose of our existence very goal
the fight for love, to prove it's real, that's what we're all here for
that's it, there's no big mystery, just love, there isn't more

but love is complicated, you can see that all around
hate and fear are easier, that's why they both abound
now the devil's having fun as he forces isolation
he knows his time is ending, it's our only consolation

everyone's now suspicious
the toll on the world is vicious
for some no food is on the table
there is nothing left that's stable

Wars and rumors of wars, will come from far and close
really pay attention to the things that matter most
watch out for the false prophets, who will come and tell us lies
the sun and moon will darken, stars falling from the skies

If you think the world will bounce back and it will just be fine
then you need to open up your eyes and see this grand design
the world was never meant to last just look at the decay
though we try to save the earth, it WILL have it's last day

The Chase
Fearless Jul 2019
I want you so much I can't breathe
she runs and hides from his desire
chasing after her love true
who chases after yet another
She is running after love
he skips and dances from her arms
falling on the lips of a beauty
too exotic and wild to be tamed
running along with all the males
as they chase this maiden fair
she skips and laughs at their attention
seriousness coming over her as she sites him
the one she loves just up ahead, who runs alone
she follows at his heals awhile, watching waiting
time to pounce, and as she does, another girl
from out of nowhere and off he goes
round and round they chase and chase
never catching what they want
trying to fill that empty place
till finally, two, run side by side
they may still look away sometimes
at long last, they realize that the other is still there
it's time to stay, the hunt is done the race is...won?
yes for some.

Frozen Iguanas
Fearless Jan 2020
Bright green, big scaly lizards
do not like when there are blizzards
to most of us that's when there's snow
but they can't handle 40 or below
they freeze right up, fall out of trees
when there's a tiny little stiff breeze
their blood grows cold and they get slow
something a lot of people didn't know
so when there's snow storms in other states
there's snowball fights or get out ice skates
or when there's cold rain up in Seattle
and people are used to the umbrella battle
in the desert it's very dry and cold
and yes that can get a little bit old
but when it's 40 degrees in Florida one day
NOBODY wants to go out and play
and everyone's terrified if there's a sneeze
and Iguanas start falling right out of the trees
It doesn't rain cats and dogs here
it's raining lizards from a sky that is clear
and then two days later it's 80 degrees
and that's Florida winter...it's just a tease

my heart keeps coming back to you
I do not know just what to do
I pushed away to find another
trying to listen to my mother
so many voices telling me to date
a thing I loathe and truly hate
I'd rather stand and give a speech
then put my heart in someone's reach
there must be something wrong with me
relationships have always been scary
when I love someone I'm just all in
but they treat it like a game to win
my heart is not a ball to kick
I'm not standing in a row to pick
when out of options claim my heart
after you already tore it apart
what the hell is wrong with you?
what on earth did I do?
now hurt and bitter, full of fear
I see it when looking in the mirror
I just wanted sweet romance
and someone who'd ask me to dance
who'd lay in the grass and stare at the sky
but now I'm left to wonder why
you just really didn't care
when we could have made a great pair
will I ever get any closure
or am I left to fake my composure?

There once was a girl with no sleep
and all she could do was to weep
she fell on her bed in a heap
and counted millions of sheep

then when she finally stopped crying
convinced herself she weren’t dying
and all of her friends stopped prying
and all of the boys stopped lying

she decided never again to mope
climbed up from the end of her rope
got a broader view on her scope
and now she has plenty of hope

Contained in this shell I wear
a spirit vibrant without a care
sparking energy flying about
you can see it when people shout
some energy good, and some is not
we all use it, it's what we've got
that's what this skin we wear is for
or energy would spill out even more
but you can see it uncontained
in a person who is unrestrained
a flaring temper bursting wild
a screaming and unruly child
or a bright and beautiful soul
which to be one, is all our goal
for inner peace to shine bright
to win this often evil fight
this world tries to taint your fire
distract you from your true desire
to know who you are at the core
and live at peace forevermore

in a heart that's full of rot

resentment, anger, jealousy
fear that you will hurt me so
you've been consuming all of me
even though you did not know

So now I asked the Lord to take
this fear I have of losing you
I did this for both of our sake
even though you've not a clue

I'll love you till my dying breath
with true love there is no fear
best friends until even death
if this can be, it will be clear

I cannot love you on my own

but Jesus' love has set the tone
so now I'll stop and come what may

Up and up and up we go
but somehow we always know
that down again comes suddenly
and that is why I wish you'd see

some things are not good ya know
I know you think you want them though
but they're not working for a reason
and everything comes in it's season

a time to love and a time for goodbye
and it may make you want to cry
but if you make a little room
Jesus can give you the moon

you can't explain the joy inside
it bubbles out and it won't hide
friends will come from all around
to see your frown turned upside down

'cause everyone wants to see you hope
not to hide and fume and mope
they want to see you love your life
they want to see you find a good wife

they want to see that you are loved
and know you're taken good care of
that somebody protects your heart and mind
never leaving you behind

that someone works to keep your trust
and does whatever that they must
to show you what you're worth to them
that you are not like other men

that you are special, strong and brave
and you're the only man they crave
keeps your reputation intact
doesn't lie or skew the facts

so time to stand and be a man
time to execute that plan
that rollercoaster once was fun
but let her go, her time is done
If you are in a relationship with somebody who is draining your emotional energy, but you just want to love them until they understand love. Until they finally learn to reciprocate it, and you know that if you just treat them with kindness, one day it will all turn around...get out. Stop worshipping the ground they walk on. You are enabling them to be a monster by letting them get away with everything with no consequences for their actions. Hold yourself to a higher standard. Love God first, and worship Him only. Then they will lose the control they have over you. Accept His love, and you won't have to earn theirs. Be free!!!

2 Years Gone By
Fearless Sep 2020
2 years gone by, since I sat here with the dead
back then, I could not get you outta my head
drove by the Battery where I used to run
when I was depressed, while you had your fun
you liked that girl, but it's all just the same
you want their attention, it's just a dumb game
I'm over you, and you don't even know
because you're in a cycle and you'll never grow
you're like the dead that are locked in these graves
you don't know Him, the only one who saves
you try to rescue these girls from themself
by hoarding up money and using your wealth
then you complain that they're after your money
well, what do you expect with that attitude Honey?
but you can't change them or save them from fear
because you're not God's gift to women my dear.
I will say this though, I pray for you each night
I hope you escape from your endless fight
I hope you come to understand what is love
it's a gift filled with joy and it comes from above

Twisted Past
Fearless Sep 2019
I came upon some poems that tugged upon my soul
of tortured people struggling lost without a goal
I came upon some stories of pain and desperation
longing for a thing in life that requires preparation
I came upon some stories of people who cut to feel
who just want to be heard and treated like they're real
this world is full of fakeness and people spitting lies
ignorant of silent and lonely hurting cries
for some it boils angry, until they shoot it out
for others it is suffered silent in a lonely pout
for more it's drowned out with alcohol and drugs
what all of this is covering, could be solved with hugs
before you laugh, and scoff, and roll your eyes
put away the ******* of that tough disguise
I am not a hugger, I pushed people away all the time
but that is why I felt like I had to share this rhyme
once I started to let others love me and see them trying
then I started to love them too, and it stopped my crying
not everyone is trying to use and manipulate you
most of them just want someone to love them too
see, I was once a cutter, and though I owned a gun
and never once thought of shooting at anyone
but I hurt myself in different ways as often as I could
I couldn't accept love, and thought I never would
I drank myself ******* on more than one occasion
I didn't realize that my body suffered an invasion
your joy is the prize in this battle for your soul
give it to the One who loves you, that should be your goal
I made mistakes and I have scars that never go away
but I'm standing here to tell you, that I'm happy now today
Fearless Sep 2020
Why am I anxious, no I don't know why
the spinning thoughts, they make me cry
Not good enough, the devil's own lie

Filling your mind up with all of this stuff
making you feel like you're never enough
TV and social media, making things rough

shut off all the noise and enjoy sweet release
with none of that clamoring, anxieties cease
let yourself make room for God's loving peace

Imbalance comes next, after your mental intake
all that time spent dwelling on a past mistake
will keep you stressed out, and always awake

let it go, it's no more, just push it away
don't repeat it! It's past, and it had it's day
the price not an endless thing you have to pay

One thing that's awful is indecision
this can be an unending prison
a jumbled up mass of creative vision

anxiety comes because you can't control
you try and you try to but it will take it's toll
just make a choice, and then work towards a goal

Integrity's a place where anxieties start
it's when you are not being true to your heart
you'll feel torn, like you're falling apart

put others first and scatter some joy
don't treat others like they are your toy
be patient, and not easy for them to annoy

another thing, is check your intention
don't strut around, oozing pretension
this one is an act of anxiety prevention

you're responsible for the reasons you act
YOU are responsible for the things that you lack
don't be a victim always feeling attacked

watch what you imagine inside of your head
replace negative thoughts with happy instead
or your heart will feel heavy as a bag of lead

Don't stay isolated, it's the worst place to be
it's where all of this takes root, don't you see?
Being alone will drive you up a tree

people need companionship, friendship, and love
and never forget to ask for help from above!

The Lie
Fearless Aug 2019
I am free just like a bird
no filter on these lips
I must be heard
a few cuss word slips
no big deal
I do what I want
I'm keepin it real

I'm free to drink
and party all night
free to think
and I'm free to fight
I'll show you what
if you disrespect me
knife to the gut

Nobody rules me
I am my own
I'm totally free
'cause I'm full grown
I sleep with my choice
I drink when I want
always use my voice

addicted to the opinions of others
you come first, don't count on brothers
living in a cage of expectations
in this life there are no vacations
it's dog eat dog and you must win
don't realize your trapped by all that sin?
free to drink? or a slave to the bottle?
free to do drugs and drive at full throttle?
to impress some girl, who wants your money
you're not free, you're a slave to her, honey
a slave to what everyone wants you to give
but you are not free, you don't know how to live
to be free is to know exactly who you are
when you know that, then you can go far
you think you're exercising your right to decide
but what you are doing has trapped you inside
you're a scared little person that nobody knows
and neither do you, and you're afraid that it shows
so let go of the women, the money and *****
because you actually do get to choose
so choose to be free from the judgment of others
and join us, God's children, your sisters and brothers.

My Little Rust Bucket
Fearless Jun 2020
rattle rattle squeak squeak
oh no I think it sprung a leak
broken plastic on the dash
I only paid 500 cash
tires on the front are new
it stopped running, what to do
don't want this dumb ol' car no more
but I got more than I paid for!

Little Sister
Fearless Aug 2020
The day that you were born my life was not the same
because on that day, everything became a game
you can't play games alone, so I'm happy we are two
cuz life would never be as fun, if I did not have you
no one makes me laugh the way I know you can
not my friends or our parents, or my favorite man
we played barbies, rode bikes, and then some hide and seek
lift each other up and help when the other's feeling weak
punched each other in the face, and cried a lot of tears
we had a lot of ups and downs and struggles through the years
but you're the only one that's been there and gets me like you do
and I hope you know that I'm the one that really gets you too
my life has been so blessed because you're in my life
I can't wait to stand beside you, as you become a wife
you're the best thing that could have ever happened to me
being an only child would have driven me up a tree
so have a happy birthday, on your special day
and to your happiness and hope, to God I always pray

Seeing Into You
Fearless Mar 2019
They don't understand
just what I see in you
no, you are just a man
but what I see is true
the person that you act
is not the one that's you
I've always know this fact
but I hid that from you too
I saw you from the first
the dark the light the shame
I knew that I was cursed
even though I saw your game
looking at your heart
was like looking in a mirror
'cause from the very start
I knew we're slaves to the same fear
I love you with my soul
it's the other half of yours
but this love can take a toll
I think we feel it in our cores
that's why I had to leave
and I know you don't know why
but I had something up my sleeve
and that's why I didn't cry
I'll be yours one day
though you don't want me now
I'll win this game we play
and I'm gonna show you how
my love for you is pure
and I want the best for you
I know I've got the cure
and I know you'll get a clue
I see right inside of you
just waiting to burst out
no one ever sees what I do
I want to scream and shout
to tell you what I know
what maybe you can't even see
'cause you refuse to show
though you've opened up to me
you know I will never quit
no matter how long or how far
I don't know if you can handle it
but I wish on every shooting star
people think I'm nuts
but I don't really care
most couples stuck in ruts
but we've got miracles to share
so I'll work with all my heart
until that day that you decide
to offer me the part
of your ever faithful bride

Moonlit Mermaid
Fearless Aug 2020
The sea is calm right 'fore the storm
I swim along, the water's warm
the moon so bright it calls my name
I answer as a moth to flame

a path he draws me with his light
I follow the trail of pale white
the stars are sparkling high above
all bathed in some creative love

up from the depths I swish my tail
catapult through air I sail
arch my back to dive back down
a simple joy my heart has found

hurricane's hold no fear for me
for I live deep within the sea
but if a sailor starts to drown
I hope it's where he can be found

for I would like a prince you see
a pirate man who loves the sea
bring him down to my watery home
where he and I can ever roam

Breakfast
Fearless Jun 2020
Wheat bread has your fiber, to move things right along
Then the egg for protein, to make my muscles strong
the berries for antioxidants, to keep cancer at bay
bananas for potassium to wash the salt away
a little almond milk, fortified with vitamin D
then put in some OJ, for your immunity
add a little yogurt, for your digestive tract
healthy breakfast is important, yes, that is a fact
wrote this in my head while I was eating on my patio, and thought I'd write it down haha

Social Distancing
Fearless Jul 2020
Stay away, no don't get close
fear the things that matter most
don't hug or love those around
just side step with stringent frown

don't give a hug and don't shake hands
wear a mask and make demands
watch the news to get a clue
of all the things that you should do

our world is the devil's playground
his dastardly deeds abound
isolate humanity and make us feel alone
the only human connection lies within our phone

filled to the brim with fears
nobody to wipe away our tears
fear produces anger, and anger leads to hate
we will just destroy ourselves, moving at this rate

God is love and hope and peace
His goodness and mercies never cease
but if we're so distracted with life
then all we can see is our temporary strife

the first thing in the Bible, God said was bad
was for man to be alone, isolated and sad
social distancing is the devil's tool
so you have to decide, will you let him rule?

Good little Bad Days
Fearless Jan 2020
A rearing up and balance lost
on the ground unceremoniously tossed
he stands there with a smug horse grin
sometimes I feel I cannot win
I pick myself up off the ground
my left arm numb it's hanging down
my face is scraped, my neck is whack
I wish I'd landed on my back
through this terror still I see
that God is watching over me
I am WALKING to the side
all finished with this bumpy ride
A wheelchair should have been my life
my spinal chord severed like a knife
but God must have a plan for me
so He decided to spare me
there is good in every bad
so think of that and don't get mad
Because of Him I walk today
and so it has been a good day.

— The End —
