Love

Love never fails
If it failed then it was never love
In the first place
One race
Different directions, same place
Different pace, same race
Helping one another
Forgiving one another
Is hard
But love overcomes the darkness, grudges and sin
Love is the most powerful thing ever
Especially His Love
His unconditional merciful love

Love

Your Life
Oh very sweet
Yet very short as well
So don’t take it for guarantee

I don’t know why i’m confused
These emotions people say i’m supposed to feel, i refuse
They always assume and accuse
Never check on me
Never understand the reasons why I feel emotionally abused
This burden weighing on me feels unfamiliar
Like it’s not mine, which is irregular
“What if I am the problem”, I doubt
Maybe I need to take another route
I don’t even know what this is all about
But I know my worth and what I amount
But when they ask for my account
I stutter, no sound just a soft mutter
“Those were nowhere near my intentions”
She was nowhere near my attention
Misunderstood & Mistaken for
All I long for, is to be adored

Our lives have intertwined
Pathways both aligned
To serve Your purpose is an honor
But I know I’m gonna wanna
Try a bit harder in this life
The start is never easy
The end may not be breezy
But with You in my life, everythings clear
Your right there and I’m right here
Waiting for your arrival
Though many are suicidal
I have been too but my faith remains
My relationship maintains, your love sustains
I’m grateful to have felt your presence
Even in my independence
My loneliness is only temporary
I know the wait is necessary
I’ll continue to wait even in disheartening times
I’m finally running out of rhymes
But all I just wanted to say is
How much I love God
And how much He loves me

So many things left unsaid
My heart aches and so does my head
How can someone inflict so much pain
Unintentionally, accidental, plain

I question if I’m a bad person
I don’t want to be that kind of version
That worsens, everytime you say I’m sorry
I worry, if I truly believe those words

But all of it is just absurd, those 2 words
Mean nothing
Actions are consistently repeated
No “I’m sorry” was ever needed

I’m seated, in my thoughts and feelings
Was it ever completed?
Your intentions, your goal?
Well you win, I feel defeated

Explaining never does me good
That is why I hate “are you algood”
I never know the comfortability I’m supposed to feel
But I know I have to reel

In my feelings and emotions
It’s all to surreal
I can’t deal, with this pain anymore
Nothing comes easy like it used to

This roller coaster of emotions
Sometimes makes me feel frozen
I just wanted to be loved
Not shoved, is it that hard?

I remembered the day
They took my mother away
Disrupting my relaxation
I heard and felt vibrations

The echoes from the pounding of the door
“OPEN THE DOOR !” shouts once more
The door tears open forcefully
I awaken and I see the man in uniform

Brutality strikes my mother to the ground
I look around, and tears fall from my eyes
Bursting through my ears
My mother cries. I soon realise

I hear words scream “ JUST WAIT !”
My grip in my mothers’ arms start to weaken
As they strip my mother away from me
I soon remember what my mother said

Use your voice in times of need
In times of discouragement and struggle indeed
So when someone questions the colour of your skin
Use your voice, the power within

Is it too late to scream for help
Drowning in a river of tears
Swallowed by all my fears

Is it too late to scream for help
Patiently waiting for days on end
For help to come, for comfort to lend, is this the trend?

Is it too late to scream for help
Breathing in flavoured air
With each exhale , comes less care

Is it too late to scream for help
Clueless in my bed of thoughts
A pain that I never knew was mine, a pain that was never brought

Is it too late to scream for help
The Book I used to love
Now seems like a worn out glove

So please tell me if it’s too late to scream for help
Or am I just wasting my voice
Because it’s inevitable, do I yell, do I sing, do I yelp?
Do I even have a choice?
