They say wisdom comes with age, but i believe wisdom comes to those who seek it
I've learned to take every chance that comes my way
That self-motivation actually works
How laughing when I'm down actually cheers me up
That other peoples opinions about me don't matter
That drama stops by cutting out the people who create it
That I can't force feelings my heart won't accept
How crying relieves my soul
That my curiosity and assumptions always kills a part of me
To talk to people that understand what I'm going through
To stop caring about people who don't care about me any more
To love those who are in my life with all my heart
How God is with me and will always be with me
That my life isn't mine to control
That the love of God is all I need and no man will ever love me more than He does
That to live is Christ and to die is gain.

At one point
Lynn Grace Oct 2012
Le printemps quand quelqu'un est en amour
La campe où quelqu'un a des memoires
Les jours quand quelqu'un est fachés
L'automne quand quelqu'un est brisé
Le jour ou quelqu'un a pleurée
Les mois quand quelqu'un ne parlés pas
L'été quand quelqu'un est en amour
Les mots que quelqu'un ne disés pas
Les mois après quand quelqu'un l'a dit
La lettre que quelqu'un a donnée
La lettre que quelqu'un a ignorée
Le rejet que quelqu'un a senti
L'ami que quelqu'un a jeté
L'au revoir que quelqu'un n'a pas dit.

Le Plaisir
Lynn Grace Oct 2012
The cool refreshing feeling tingled all over my back
As I lay floating and basking in the sun
All my cares and worries slowly drift away
How I love the fresh smell of palm trees and sand
The way they fill my senses with pure serenity
And open up my mind to endless possibilities
The birds sing me a sweet song
As I slowly drift away from the shore
The humming wind runs past my ears
Sending chills down my spine
The warmth of the sun creates a blanket for the breeze
This is where I belong
Having no care in the world
Drifting away into paradise

N'aille pas
Lynn Grace Jun 2012
You put on a mask to hide your face
To cover your sorrows and your shame
You laugh with everyone
Say a joke
But no one knows your loss of hope
You let your emotions get the best of you
You let your anger control your soul
You lost your place
Once a safe haven
Now in a hole you can't break through
Cry out for help
Pray for His hand
You know He loves you
His hand is reaching out
His heart passionate
Come out of the dark!
Open your eyes
Rise up and walk
You were not made to fall
Stay strong
Persevere
Rejoice though your heart aches
Repent when your heart breaks
Don't be fooled by their petty ways
Don't conform to their selfish plays
Seek truth
Abandon deceit
Walk in peace
Surrender yourself
Live to love

C'est mon jeu
Lynn Grace Jun 2013
Is it fair to say you're just the same?
The way my name resounds from your lips
The way our eyes meet at every chance
You hide behind that arrogant facade
You've been hurt too many times
Is it fair to say you're just the same?
The way you search for me
The way you read my face
Give me some kind of relief
Do you feel the same way I do?
Or am I just a withdrawal when you make a transaction?
Don't think I'll to fall for your games
Go ahead and roll the dice
But I won't be paying the price

C'est la vie
Lynn Grace Jun 2012
One whole year by your side
Listening to the sound of your enchanting voice
Captivated by your presence
Enticed by your charm
Why did I fall for you
Struck down by your disdain
Yet hypnotized with your words
Something inside can't let you go
Won't let you go
I'll say goodbye until I'm convinced you're gone
But it would all be a lie

Et je chante
Lynn Grace Jun 2012
Entangled in simplicity
Captivated by emotions
I sing to express myself
Swept into another universe
Carried away with bliss
I sing because I lose myself
Absorbed in the music
Oblivious to my surroundings
I sing without a care in the world
Caught in serenity
Intertwined with passion
I sing because I can

Aveugle
Lynn Grace Oct 2012
The way you look at me
Like there's no one else around
I love your smile
That weary spark in your eyes
I didn't want to fall again
Not this time
It caught me by surprise
And left scales in my eyes
You're beautiful
But now I'm blind

Centrer

And all of a sudden everything feels like it's falling apart
I can't even talk to You
Talk about You
Or listen to You
Without being distracted
How did I turn away?
Everything was so right
Going so well
I thought I had it all figured out
Well, at least most of it
You're always here and I know You are
So why am I living as if You don't exist
My life is nothing
But You make me something
You created me
Love me
And all I ever do is neglect You
Bring me back to the road I was cruising on
With You in the drivers side
And me in the passenger side
Take me to where You want me to go
Focus my mind on the things of Your kind
Love, joy, peace, patience, righteousness, kindness
Keep me away from temptation that I may not sin
But I'm cursed so forgive me, Father
I don't deserve You
And You don't need me
I didn't choose You
But You chose me
You bled and died for me
Took upon your shoulders
My filthiness, my sorrow, my pain, my sin
And You we're glorified
God, this is your story
This isn't my life anymore
Take all of me
Body and spirit
Transform me
Make me more like You
Sit enthroned upon my heart
Beat me down until I surrender
Give me strength to fight my ways
And courage to live Your ways
All I need is You

Le Piège
Lynn Grace Oct 2012
Right into the sharks mouth again
Was the current too strong?
You had the chance to swim back
Into the safe harbour
Everything you do is selfish
For your own enjoyment
Did you not think about the aftermath?
Such a fool for blindly believing
You didn't even take a light
Maybe you'll change
Stop messing around
Rationalize every move
Before you fall again

Balade
Lynn Grace Jul 2012
Deep in my soul is an aching pull
A yearning for more and more
But nothing satisfies
Remembering your face
Your define shape
Never wanting you but always needing you
How did I get here
All alone with just a memory
So much to lose with nothing to gain
I don't love you
I want you

Chercher la vérité
Lynn Grace Jul 2012
How many dreams will I dream
Before I dare to make one true
How many roads will I follow
Before I find a place to stay
How many friends will I go through
Before I find one that is true
How many songs will I sing
Before the right words come into mind
How many lands will I travel
Before I believe in a hope that lasts
How many stories will unravel
Before I live a life that's real

What to say
Lynn Grace Feb 2013
So many words are running through my mind
So many feelings
Tangled in a web of nonsense
There's no one to talk to
No one who understands
So I'll close my eyes
And try to clear my mind
So many words scrambled in my mind
So many emotions
I wish I could just pluck them out one by one
But they found a home
Rooted in my head

Only You
Lynn Grace Oct 2012
Intertwined into your body
Wrapped up in your arms
The warmth you exhibit calms my soul
My head resting on your chest
The beat of your heart ringing in my ear
Surrounded by reminiscence
Brought back to our days of innocence
Back when we only held hands
Midnight calls
And goodbye kisses
The youthful reflections of who we are now
This is where I belong
Enveloped in your serenity
Lost in a fantasy

— The End —
