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.
