Overtime waitress
Blessy Praise Jul 2014
As I sit for nothing,
anger got quite tempting.
But my eyes caught truth,
she served as a living proof.

Customers are always right,
but don't employees have a right?
I am not observant,
i'm just caring for the servant.

She seems nice,
but i can also see her sacrifice.
It's hard to stop tears,
also when you're overcoming your fears.

I cant be angry,
while some people wait impatiently.
Employees are still people,
Dont forget, the world is round like a ball.

Under the Street Light
Blessy Praise Jul 2014
"Yes please."
I said as she walked in peace.
As the other world reveals itself to me,
I see a kind of poverty.

Black ink on their faces,
At first i thought they're rashes,
But those are sign of grief,
and there was no relief.

Ignorance was first,
Im sure they feel cursed.
But when the spirit dwells,
it'll tell you to break out your shells.

I felt a burden settling in,
but worrying is a sin.
As I thank the lady for the bread,
a silent prayer was said.

Impossible made Possible
Blessy Praise Jul 2014
Let's start with a flashback,
those times when I lost my track.
It was peculiar, i can say.
A time I thought Life is just a play.

I do not care.
Who knows how much I can bear?
Let them talk, let them see
how it is important to be free.

Stubborn is equivalent to myself,
which also means I don't want anyone's help.
My heart is harder than a rock.
Nothing happens and I am stuck.

His Love came like an arrow,
piercing through the shadow.
What I know is I am strong,
but for a long time, I was wrong.

Now I face reality,
There is serendipity.
My world turned upside down,
and it's only because of a King who wears a glorious crown.

Suspension
Blessy Praise Dec 2014
Many days passed
And now, things seem to be vast.
We paint a picture, small and still,
But its uncertain, we need a drill.

As I lay not dying,
Not the book some are reading,
I see a vision.
I feel something, perhaps, confusion.

I lay here, alive.
But I see them, attempting to survive.
Now once again, life revealed itself to me
But still, its God's Grace that reaches humanity.

I have it.
Unlike them stucked in a pit.
Realizing this should not produce grief
But be selfless like a stiff.
Kind of a divergent based poem. Only at the end. Hahaha.

Simplicity of Insanity
Blessy Praise Jul 2014
I look everywhere,
I can't stop and stare.
Weird and unusual, i guess
I am wondering what is this mess?

I have change of moods,
Or should i say, THEY crave for the foods.
Am I insane?
Or just enduring the pain?

I wasnt sure earlier.
I was being funny!
But one thing is for sure,
I am hungry.

When it strucks you
Blessy Praise Mar 2016
Do you ever know I know?
It strucked me like a sharp bow
A failure in the past you sow
My heart break in the present I dont show

I once imagined it
With trust, I have forgotten it
But sadly, out of deceit
No secrets revealed, even a bit

Every time I recall
It hinders my fall
But to Him I call
To forget these things and all

From now on I trust
I surrender all, right from the crust
These feelings I turn into dust
Get it right, remove lust

For now I cant say
All I can do is pray
'Cause sweetheart this is not the day
Either a game to play
Lets wait and see someday

Let only the tears come
Blessy Praise Mar 2016
If you cry, then let it be
Let your tears blur everything you see
Its okay to sometimes fall
Even in pain, it doesnt matter at all

Dont let the gravity pull you
You still have a reason to pursue
Whatever the problem may be
Surrender it unto Thee

I listen, I listen
With sadness, I was driven
Dont let the guilt nor anger
Burry who you are into a slumber

Keep your head high
Dont let those dreams die
Not like the feeling inside
Look up and keep the fight

Even in a distance away
I closed my eyes and prayed
C'mon there's a new day
Everything will be okay

You've got to help me with everything
Because this is never a simple thing
Try to understand darling
Keep it right, never falling
Its what I am always thinking
If this is a song i might be singing
Sing while the pressure is ringing
Once again i'll say one more thing
Before it gets insanely hurting
Dont make it too hard

Unfinished
Blessy Praise Mar 2016
Simplicity creates impact,
Sometimes it makes things to be intact.
But humans have different natures,
I see things in separate pictures.

My eyes fill salty water.
An unfinished poem a long time ago

Calm down, breathe deep
Its a risk to take the leap
But the feeling is gravity itself
I need to really convince myself

Darling dont make it hard
I've been trying really hard
Instead of distraction,
Please be my inspiration

Even doubts say it all
Its okay, its not the time to fall
Keep on track, got your back
Never about what we lack

We're still on the road baby
Be on the right lane with me
We never want a crash
Never turn everything into trash

Its not the time for promises
Pain I felt that were countless
Not now, not tomorrow
Let us spare the sorrow

— The End —
