When

When you give back , to help others.
Not only are you providing them with hope.
But you are inspiring them to give more.
This is just one of the lessons that the bible teaches.
For to become more like Christ is to love others.
Freely we receive and freely we give to others.
For by giving freely to others, they shall see Christ in us.
So be thankful and bless others like Christ bless you.

Blue Line to Damen

It's fascinating seeing the same worn out faces
on the train
Day after day
Like a routine
Always the same sad look
same baggy eyes
burnt out from too much coffee
It's always the same dull smirk
on the few that are happy
Like a routine
The days don't change
I bet some of these people
Will die on this train
And before I know it
I'm out the doors
And off on the same routine
With tired eyes
And a worn out smile.

Bruising

an all in row
took place
the boys were
casting peppery mace
in each others face
Mrs Dunstan saw the boys
employing their barbing toys
she told them not to be held hostage
to such disagreeable ploys
after they spent
some time
in the time out zone
they came to realize
that rowing
only brings
bruising to the bones

Aloamor

I'm a challenge?
How so?
Because I won't fall for the first compliment?
Or is it because I won't get on my knees and ****?

Am I a *****
Because I saw a 30 year old man's *****
By the age of 14?
But I didn't send anything back,
I promise

Am I a ****
Because my virginity meant nothing to me?
I gave it away like it was nothing.

Are you an angel because you still have yours?
Does your virginity make you better than me?
Or is it your elitism that makes others not want you

At least men lust for me
I can make them fall in love at any moment
All it takes is a whisper of encouragement
And a giggle at a joke

I don't dress like I should
Because I don't like the attention I receive
"She's fake." "She's a *****."
Maybe
But does that mean your man won't sleep with me
If he had the chance?

Tell me I'm nothing,
You say I'm just looking for attention,
But
I don't have to look far honey

Beauty In Resilience

A slow break in the monotony,
As low whispers fill my eyes.
There is a silence on the air with a subtle cruelty,
Redolent of my most feverish nights.
Impressionable though you are,
The fierce desire of each night spent lying awake so the coarse memory of your skin may plague my mind.
The Kiss never seemed so haunting,
So deathly.
I can't believe it would look as I feel even today.
I drink the remedy in silence,
But not tranquility.
Complacency is a mistaken innervation.
Jaded though widely perceived as infallible truth.
Divinity is as tranquility strives to be,
For I have witnessed your gaze,
And know it to be true.
