Long nights filled with sorrow and pain
Nothing to shield you from the showers of rain
Tears running down your face and blood spewing from your veins
I have but one question on the top of my brain
I was once told never take love as a game
An if you took advantage of it life will do the same
Haunting and taunting you like an uncleanable stain
Why must this knife bring my name to shame..
Some people think love isn't the answer
While others take it serious as if it were cancer
Blood replaces tears and being alive is a fear
I never knew being in love could be this real
Who knew disaster was instore this year...
Joseph Fernandez Jan 2021
The day we are born we are with inactive guilt.
It takes a traveled through life, till it’s eventually built.

Stumbling day by day we weave to and fro as an escaping chained slave.
Inherited sin always chasing close behind, wanting to put us in our eternal grave.

Who will free us from ourselves?
Who will help us the wrong course repel?

All know inwardly right and wrong.
But it takes conviction to be strong.

Faith is invisible, but his love is O’ so real.
He always there when we fail, knowing our
self-hate that we deeply feel...

We enter innocent, we exit guilty.
But in his eyes of hopeful love, we’re not uncleanable no never too filthy...


J.I.F.


Luke 15:20

So he got up and went to his father. While he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him and was moved with pity, and he ran and embraced him and tenderly kissed him.

Isaiah 1:18

Come, now, and let us set matters straight between us,” says Jehovah.“Though your sins are like scarlet, They will be made as white as snow; Though they are as red as crimson cloth, They will become like wool.
