may i never get enough of You
may i never stop wanting You
may i never stop knowing You
may i never stop loving You
may You always inspire me
may You always make me wonder
may You always be my desire
may You always be enough.

Beauty being subjective.

Because beauty is subjective,
I will not stand, refusing
to sit because you are yet to compliment me.

Because beauty is subjective,
I will not change myself in order to match your ever changing standards.

Because beauty is subjective,
I will not seek love from this world;
I understand her beauty is tempting but she always came back to drag me into a pit.

Because beauty is subjective,
I will come back to You when I forget who you made me to be.
You hold me steadfast, I am made right in your eyes, so I will not seek to chase the eyes of men, even though it's attractive .

Does this world offer the greatest love in the whole universe?

Does this world offer the greatest love in the whole universe?
Is it truly this romance they force into our faces; gifts and kisses
breaking ups and getting back togethers.

Does this world offer the greatest love in the whole universe?
It was in this world that the one with the greatest love was killed.
His sacrifice became the greatest gift, and the kiss sealed on his cheek
was a brand to show that man would always betray him.
Man would kiss his cheek to declare their love for him, and that kiss would be man's betrayal.

Does this world offer the greatest love in the whole universe?
Do I have to plaster my face across screens hoping for that one and true person to find me?
Do I have to show more skin, tighten my shirts, cut holes in my dresses so I stand out to him: so he doesn't miss me, so he truly loves me?
Does this world offer the greatest love in the whole universe,
Because He has shown me time and time again that He loves me, my actions do not make Him shun me, my guilt can never belittle me, my lust cannot overcome me, separate me from His love.

Does this world offer the greatest love in the whole universe?
Because I cannot spend my life competing for love, and when I do find this love, I cannot spend the rest of my life with someone who wants to change each and every aspect of me that God has formed precisely.

I'm no longer a kid

I’m no longer a kid.
I care what people think of me;
the way I act,
the way I look,
the clothes I wear.

I’m no longer a kid.
Back then, letters were only building blocks used for spelling,
Why do they now mark the corner of my work?
Why do they determine my academic future?

I’m no longer a kid.
My tears are no longer spilled over a grazed knee
For now they pour over anxious thoughts-
Will they ever stop falling?

I'm no longer a kid.
We were told to be bodies full of kindness,
because everyone deserves love.
Why are some people treated differently?

I’m no longer a kid.
The world has opened up it’s true self to me
and now I drown in it.

Me equivoqué de vida

No fue un error el querernos.
Ni lo que sucedió después.
Sólo me equivoqué de vida.

Debiste ser el mejor premio
en algún universo paralelo.

El Santo Grial de la belleza femenina.
Una bendición angelical.

Pero en esta vida me tocó perder.
Aunque no perderte.
Vives eterna en mi corazón.
...y por ratos, en mi mente.

Why not.

"Why say sorry when I know I'll do it again?"

Why not repent so that God can lift the guilt of your shoulders like he said he would?
