There are so many gaining in life
But there are more of losing than gaining
You'd probably not know what I'm talking about
I'm talking about gaining and losing relationships

I know what's it like to have a relationship with someone
Laugh at the jokes, talking through call and text, going out
But the question I keep asking myself
Will I gain something or lose it

There are times I see people holding hands, giving out gifts on 2/14
Watch movies, go to a quiet place to talk, lean on each other's shoulders
I like the fact that there really is love
But then I keep asking is it going to gain or lose something

I'm still a kid who really wants to be in a relationship
As a high schooler, studying is the priority
But then someone from church brought me to life
And she could be the one I'm looking for

She is so pretty and my words are unexplainable
Her beauty blazed out a new flame
I was caught in the fire, but I didn't die
Because I knew that she is the one

What do I trust in life
Myself or the past
Whether I try to break free
I end up stepping back

No surprise that I'm moving back
As if I'm imprisoned in a time machine
All my effort to move forward
Is left behind

I've been fatally wounded by a blade
As my blood oozes out
Memories of my past stimulates my body
My eyes hurting and body weakening

Pressure to forget traumatization has entered
My memory tries to fight back
But they are outnumbered
As they fall apart one by one

I've been driven to dark highways
Driven to underground tunnels
Driven to the fiery depths of hell
Driven to the past

Everywhere, I see happiness
And I'm just alone in a room
With nobody to look for
And the happiness is gone in my heart

When I walk, I see people smiling
When I watch movies, it has happy endings
When I sleep, I think of the happy people
When I wake, I'm still lonely

All year I wait for a Valentine letter
But nothing ever changed and I can't even see her
She doesn't seem to notice me
As if I'm invisible to her

All I want is some attention
But all I get is tension
When I think of her
She doesn't think of me

Do not cut with no reason
Do not cut with pain
Do not cut with no emotion
Do not cut with no blood

Do not cut without a blade
Do not cut with a blunt end
Do not cut with a smile
Do not cut without meaning

Cut when there's a dark room
Cut when it's necessary
Cut when you're alone
Cut when you're in doubt

Cut with sharp ends
Cut with blood
Cut with reason
Cut with meaning

My high school crush
Is about a year younger or the same age
She is a girl with a beautiful smile on her face
And she's the girl I keep thinking of

She is the same girl that I envisioned in my dreams
I want to admit my feelings to her but it's too early
Cause we're not in our season to be in a relationship
And we're still in high school

All I know is that I have to protect my heart
And let God protect her heart as well
Cause I don't want anything bad to happen
And I don't want to end up being manipulated

I wanna save myself from falling in love
But I feel like that she went in my heart in an instant
And that feeling I wanna let my emotions to come out
But they're living inside a jar where I could just play with them

I feel like I should not worry about this now
Because I'm still a student
And what may the future hold
I will not worry about the future and I will still live in the present
This poem is for someone special in my heart, but I won't tell who.

The girl I'm thinking of
Is who I see in school everyday
In church every Friday
And in my dreams

The memory of her is never removed
There are times that I want to talk to her
There are times I want to hold her hand
And there are times that she might be with someone else

I don't know if my heart is playing games with me
I just feel like I'm falling in love with her
I'm conflicting my emotions since Day 1
And I can't take the pain anymore

I want to admit it to her that I like her
But I can't cause I know it's too early
And she would just ignore me and never talk to me
Then there will the time that I'll inflict pain

There was a time that I was in pain
She came to me, concerned, asking me if I was okay
I was silent, not a word to be said
And as she comforted me, she asked me to hold her hand

That feeling when I touched her hand
It snapped, that feeling snapped
I knew that it would happen
Just one touch, I fell in love in an instant

God's not dead
Bring out the trumpets and drums
He is coming to this earth
To save all living things

God's not dead
He's definitely alive
Bring out all the creatures
To let them see Him

God's not dead
He is bringing Salvation
He will save us all
Through the rough waves

God's not dead
Shout His name through the world
Send a message that will be seen and heard
Until His second coming

God's not dead
He saved us 2000 years ago
He shed His blood for us
And He is the reason why we still live

God's not dead
He died for us
And was brought back to life
And He's in Heaven watching us

God's not dead
He was brought back to life
He makes darkness tremble and fall
And brings light to all of us

God's not dead
He's awesome in power
Greater than great
And the longest living Man alive

God's not dead
I am positive with it
He's living in us
Roaring like a lion

God's not dead
Let all earth rejoice
And use our mouth to praise
His True and Undeniable Words

God's not dead
Let us remember that
He is the King of Kings
And Lord of Lords
