Let it Go

It's time to let go,
It's time for my heart to say 'no'.
Time to put these memories away,
Time for me to pray.
Time to be set free,
Time to be me.

Time to move on,
Time to be away and gone.
Time to set my mind straight,
Time to celebrate.
Time to grow,
Time to glow.

Time for another chance,
Time to get up and dance.
Time to stop being out of sight,
Time to be the light.
It's time to empty my plate,
It's time to seal my fate.

That Somebody

Be that someone when somebody is hurting and in need of a friend.


No words to convey,
How my heart is breaking
For those being hunted like the prey.
For their voices are weak and shaking.

They are living in fear,
Wondering who or what is approaching.
Wondering who will appear or disappear.
Wondering who is up next in the fighting ring.

They need a backbone,
Someone to rely on.
Someone to be with them in the combat zone.
Someone who won't sell them as a pawn.

Be that someone,
Showing them they are worth the time.
Don't look the other way and run.
Team up and fight the crime.

God's Timing

The enemy keeps whispering lies in my head,

Filling me with bitter thoughts.

I am trying to resist the enemy,

Trying to make it past this storm.

Trying to leave these old habits behind,

Trying not to rush things.

Trying to have faith,

Trying to be strong.

For God's timing is perfect.

I am reaching towards victory,

I am making it to the other side.

Taking up my cross, 

And giving him my praise.

I'm Ready

It's not easy to fix our eyes on God, there is always temptation and other things standing in the way but  have faith in God, trust his timing and keep up with his word.

I'm running low on faith.

But I'm fixing my eyes on you.

Jesus, I'm chasing after you,

For you satisfy my soul.

Don't let me consume the desires of this world.

Let me wake up to your kingdom rising.

Take me where you need me to go.

I'm ready,

I am coming your way.

I choose Jesus

Choosing Jesus is the best decision you will ever make.

This life isn't a loss,

Jesus is the one who died up on that cross.

He forgave our sins and set us free,

He was there, right above me.

If I choose his direction,

I will always be under his protection.

I life I choose is with him,

turning away from my sin.

I look at my life and think,

Without Jesus, I would sink.

Here Now

I felt the spirit of God upon me.
Ridding me of this stress.
He was protecting my heart,
And piecing me back together.
I was at my worse,
While God saw me at my best.
While I wept, He wiped my tears.
The lord is here, always here.

My Shepherd

Always remember that God will always take care of us no matter what. He is our guide and protector, lean on him.





Jesus is our shepherd, our guide.

He watches over us, his sheep.

Don't run away or try to hide.

The life he gave us isn't cheap.


Like sheep we tend to descend off course.

Without our shepherd, we easily become lost.

Return to him, he's our greatest source.

With bad decisions, there comes a cost.


Like sheep we are obstinate.

Don't get yourself trapped.

Don't target yourselves to be the bait.

Try to get unwrapped.


Like sheep we are obscene.

We are vulnerable to the evil one.

The shepherd bathes us, makes us keen.

Run to Jesus, God's son.

Don't Tell Me Who To Be

From the time i was feeling down and feeling worthless and then somebody said the littlest thing to me and BAM, i got my inspiration and wrote this.

I viewed myself as worthless
Because at the time I was a mess.
I look at myself by how I feel,
I wish this part of me wasn't real.
I felt sorry for myself,
It's bad for my health.
What do others see,
When they looked at me?
I still have junk I need to confess,
Junk I still need to address.
Happiness is something someone can steal,
People can hit me till I fall down and kneel.
You can put me on a shelf,
Making me look stealth.
But from now on, I will see the good in me,
So please don't tell me who to be.

Trials

Trials

Lord, you heard my call,

When I was about to fall.

You fixed my eyes on you Lord,

Prepared me with thy shield and sword.

You rid me of this shame,

For I was tired of playing the enemy’s game.

You made my paths straight,

Now I am ready to go to the golden gate.

Eighteen

I am turning 18 soon and I figured I would write a poem about how I think being 18 would feel like.



Turning eighteen isn't just another age,
It's like leaving the child life behind.
Starting a brand new page,
and developing an adult mind.

This new life can be exhilirating
Or discouraging.
This new life is full of waiting
And your soul begins aging.

The age where we start taking chances.
Making the right choices.
You start handling your finances,
Getting rid of negative voices.

Forgetting the past mistakes,
Giving the future a try.
Doing whatever it takes,
Even if the adult life makes you want to cry.

Waiting Here For You

When you finally think you reached the end of a journey, and then it's like SIKE! Sucks doesn't it?

But maybe God doesn't want you to reach the end yet, he has better and even bigger plans for you, Believe and trust in him.

I thought I was finally here,

But I was nowhere near.

Where is the end?

My soul is longing to mend.

I don't want to wait anymore,

Waiting is such a bore.

But everything has its perfect time.

To reach further, we have to climb.

I am prone to worry,

and my eyes are blurry.

I want things to be different,

I want it this instant.

But God I trust in your promises today.

I know you won't let me go astray.

I know God has plans for me,

and I can't wait to see.

Waves

When you feel like you are drowning and you feel like no one is there to pick you up, well there are tons of people that surround you with love and the King is there to pick his child up. All you have to do is call on him.

Waves
These waves are taking me under.
I can't hold on much longer.
I can hear the loud roar of thunder.
Lord, make me stronger.

Help me face this fight.
Lord you are higher than the mountains that I face.
Let my light shine bright,
Even when the enemy is on my case.

Lord I want to see you on the other side.
I know your love will never retire.
I don't want to hide.
Lord I want you to be my greatest desire.

Would You

It's always hard to forget your first love. But if it's not meant to be, well then it's just not meant to be. Don't try to make it work when it's just not going to work. 

Would You?

The whole world is on my case.

Here I am longing for your warm embrace.

Please tell me this isn't over yet.

Let's go back to when we first met.

Let's not fight,

Hold me tight.

Love me like you do.

Where are memories we drew?

Will you go to the ends of the earth for me?

Would you swim through the Dead Sea?

Sing to me till I fall asleep,

I promise not to make a peep.

Will you go wherever I go?

Our relationship needs to grow.

Love,our life is a work of art.

Please stay close by my heart.

Lost Now Found

Along this journey of life, we all will/have become lost. We will all try to find our way back and God can help us if we look up to him.

Lost Now Found
I had everything,
But I didn't appreciate it.
This world is tempting.
I have been throwing a fit.

My father in heaven knows what's weighing on my mind.
He's like a shadow by my side.
I don't know where to go, I have been blind.
But he will be my guide

Just like the prodigal son, I lost my way.
Just like the prodigal son, I need to find my way home.
I need to get down on my knees and pray.

I don't know why I left to go roam.
As I headed back,
My father was outside waiting for me.
This time, I will try not to lose track.

This time I won't flee.
My father will always care.
His love will never age.
His love will always be in the air.
It's time for me to turn the page.

In God's Arms

In life, we will always have struggles. We think that nobody knows what we are going through, only one person understands us. Our father in heaven understands us, he knows what is coming next. We need to put our trust in him, now that is the hardest part because we do not know what he is placing in our path. Whether it is good or bad, there will always be a good outcome in the end.

In God's Arms

If only God knew what I was going through.

Oh but he does know, he knows what is real and true.

Only he can heal my dark scars

and replace them with bright stars.

I don't want to roam,

God puts his arms around me and I'm home.

I have been falling

and no one seems to hear me calling.

All these tears I have cried,

God has always been by my side.

I no longer have to roam.

God puts his arms around me and I'm at home.

Peace Of Mind

This was one of those days when my emotions were just racing. I just needed some peace.


Peace Of Mind
As I'm listening to my favorite song.
By this world I'm strung along.
Nothing in my life ever mattered.
Everything in my brain has scattered.
I keep trying to hold on to the past.
I want all my fears to be cast.
My heart is bleeding out,
What is this all about?
All of my emotions have been racing.
There is too many problems I've been facing.
I'm thinking out loud.
Take me away on a cloud.

Zero To Hero

We all have our bad days right? Well I was having a bad day and writing this poem made me laugh.

Enjoy.

Zero To Hero

I have something to say,

for those having a bad day.

When you feel like your world is turning grey.

Go to Burger King and have it your wy.

If somebody asks how you are, don't lie,

Don't cry.

Don't die,

Just go eat some pie.

When you are feeling low,

Don't let go.

Take things slow.

It will take some time to grow.

Go with the flow,

and put on a show.

You will never again be a zero,

you will be announced as a hero.

Raise Your Voice

Have you ever believed in something that no one else would stand up with you? Well raise your voice and tell the world what you stand for. Don't stop believing just because no one else does. We all have our own beliefs.



What do you fight for?
What do you have in store?
Speak out loud.
Make yourself proud..
What do you believe in?
Don't settle for the loss, go for the win.
What battles will you face?
Go at your own pace.
Will you stand up for yourself?
Or will you sit like a doll on a shelf?
Will you fight back?
Or will you fall off track?
This your choice.
Therefore raise, your voice.

Starting Over

Sometimes we all need new beginnings in our lives; the past is the past so keep it in the past.
We have all failed in our lives but I let it define me, and things got even worse for me. I made the decision to hand everything over to God and put my trust in him.




Starting Over


Lord I pour out my heart to you
I don't know what else to do.
Without you, I don't know where I would be.
I need to let go of my sin,
For I know that my father has risen.

In my life, I've done thing that I regret.
I wish temptation and I had never met.
We all have stories to tell
When we fail.
Don't let failure define your mortal flesh.
Start over and refresh.

Coffeehouse Poetry

At around this month last year, I had a really bad breakup with one of my friends. She and I just separated and I needed to find my closure. So this poem, I wrote a year ago.
She and I are friends again, so that's good.


"Coffeehouse Poetry"
I wasn't the friend to you that you were to me all along.
I must have been lacking,
I must have been wrong.
You seemed done and you were slowly packing.

Times became rough
and between us we created a wall.
You and I seemed tough.
But sometimes I wish you would just call.

Just like glass my heart was broken.
Just like a star you lit up my world.
There are words still left tot be unspoken.
Inside of me, my stomach has swirled.

I can't concentrate on anything I do.
At the moment, I am feeling confused.
The sky is turning grey from being sunny and blue.
My heart has been beaten and bruised.
In the end all I have to say is: I love you, do you love me?
Our friendship is like a sheltering tree.

Process

I made a mistake, the same mistake I made long ago. At that moment, I felt like my family was not proud of me; I felt like a failure. I do not know why I did it but that mistake inspired me to start writing poetry again. I could not let my emotions out, only through poetry I could. I have not really shared my poems with the world, so here I am doing this. I wrote this poem about 3 months ago, my first poem in a long time. 

           "Process"

In my eyes, I feel like a fake.

I keep on making the same mistake.

I keep on failing,

My heart keeps on wailing.

My family isn't proud of me,

I mean why would they be?

Is all of this happening for a reason?

Or is this just another season?

All these emotions I am feeling,

I am ready for the process of healing.
