You left, I changed
Gods1son Sep 2018
You always had me rise like evaporation
When you left, I fell heavily like precipitation
You caused a change in my temperature
With you, I was warm as the summer
Without you,I am colder than the winter
I can't wait to have you here like the next summer!

It's You!
Gods1son Sep 2018
When people talk to me
I only hear one voice
When I look at people
I only see one face
With all the cologne around me
I only percieve one scent

Feels like I am submerged in you
Feels like my abode is you
Feels like my world is you
Feels like...
                              All I said is True!

I remember
Gods1son Sep 2018
I remember...
I was sad because I could only afford four textbooks out of five
Until the best student dropped out of school due to lack of tuition

I was upset because I wasn't served dessert
Until I saw a starving man

I complained my car was manual transmission
Until I saw a guy wishing for a used bicycle

I always wished for a bigger bed
Until I saw a man sleeping on the street

I was demotivated because my job wasn't paying well
Until I saw unemployment rate in other countries

I was ****** with myself when I dislocated my ankle
Until I saw someone without legs

It's definitely good to admire better things but
Appreciate what you have
Because somebody wants just that!
We seldom forget to be grateful and happy with our current state because we are aiming for the next step. We ought to take time and appreciate our growth so far

Giving
Gods1son Sep 2018
Do you realize that...
We are constantly giving
Every second of the day
We release energy
Positive or negative energy
Consciously and unconsciously

This energy controls our environment
Holding the door for the next person
A simple gentle smile
Oh, thank you very much

The thoughts in our head
The words we speak
The look on our face
Constitutes the energy we're giving

Time to pay attention
To what you are giving!
We often fail to realize that our actions not only impact us but those around us! We all can make the world a better place

Good or Bad
Gods1son Sep 2018
Good or bad
Who really knows
We judge from afar
We judge seeing a part

What you called the bad
Are the rough edges to grip
During the mountain climb

The turn down at the interview
Made you an Entrepreneur today
The loss of that loved one
Brought out the best in you
That failed relationship
Brought you your soulmate

Next time when things look bad
Take a deep breadth
Wait for the resulting good!

Rough and Ease
Gods1son Sep 2018
The road is rough
The times are tough
Feels like hands are tied down with a cuff
The path is stony
The people are phony

But, my consciousness is...
I will make it anyway
I will stay happy all the way
I will remain just, never go astray
Negative words, I won't say
Tomorrow will be a better day!
Sep 2018 · 219
Gain and Guilt
Gods1son Sep 2018
Deep down,
You know these urges are negative
But yielding to it
Heals temporarily like medicine

Here comes the urge again
You can literally feel your heart racing
Your conscience and senses wrestling
Hungry for the immediate gain

Ok, this is the last time
You said that a thousand times
You give in... Oh, so relaxing
Few hours later, guilt creeping in!
Addiction

Assignment
Gods1son Sep 2018
I wrote this examination
Where the questions were different
Based on the type you picked

I looked to my left and saw this guy A
Asking another guy B for the answer
To question 5

To my surprise, they had different types
But this guy A wasn't aware that they had
Different question 5s

The guy B was generous to tell guy A
The correct answer to his question 5
But a wrong answer to guy A's question 5

I thought to myself, such is life
We have different assignments
But we copy others or others give us
Honest opinions based on their own assignments
We follow these and get disappointed at the results we get.

Seek to know your assignment
And your custom answer will come to you!
We have individual life assignments that we ought to find the questions. We tend to get answers from others without discovering our questions.

Your happiness
Gods1son Sep 2018
If you are not happy with your own life
You can't be happy for others!

Lust
Gods1son Sep 2018
Maybe all I had was lust
That ate below my heart crust

We used to be best of friends
Is this how it all ends
Like an eviction
When you can't pay the rents
I thought you were my heaven-sent

I really miss your six-pack
And how my fingers ran across like racetrack
Time with you always had me high like crack
Now, I can feel my heart crack

And is this still lust?
Now, that you gone, I feel lost
Maybe I was a bit insensitive
Now, I have to carry this cross
I hope, someday our paths would cross!
When you are confused if it was love or lust

Forget
Gods1son Sep 2018
You, was hard to get
Now you, is hard to forget!
When you let go but can't be gone!
Sep 2018 · 95
Passage
Gods1son Sep 2018
Your body and its senses
Is a passage to the real You
An inlet to capture external stimuli
An outlet to reveal your inner identity
Sep 2018 · 91
Relationship
Gods1son Sep 2018
In a relationship...
If you tolerate
More than you appreciate
The strength of the relationship
Will depreciate.

End of day
Gods1son Sep 2018
That time of the day
When you have to call it a day!
That feeling after a long stressful day!

This Thing
Gods1son Sep 2018
You know that you need to cut
"this thing" off
But you can't imagine yourself
Without "this thing".
"This thing" can be anything, it defers from person to person but you know what yours is!
Sep 2018 · 85
Sex
Gods1son Sep 2018
***
*** is way more than the physical activity
It is the intermingling of souls
Choose who you mix yours with!

Drunk not dumb
Gods1son Sep 2018
It's okay to be drunk in love
I don't know about dumb in love

Quest
Gods1son Sep 2018
How do I handle this pressure
Pressure of secretly competing with my mates
They seem to be growing at faster rates
Never appreciating my current state

In my head, it's all a race
Call me a competition ace
The competition that I never won
Only leaves me worn out

Maybe I know the reason for the pressure
Could I be using the wrong measure

Maybe I've been running another man's race
Maybe I need to live my very best
Maybe that's where I would find my rest
Maybe that's my real quest.
Sometimes, we get caught up in comparing ourselves with the next person. Maybe we have a different path and assignment

Hail those friends
Gods1son Sep 2018
Hail those friends who...

Hears your unspoken words
Heals your bleeding heart
Believes in your art
Tells you the truth when you're acting up
Encourages you when you're giving up
Gives you advice that you can trust
Gives your ideas a positive ******
Get angry at you and opens up
Prays for you to be at the top
Supports you with all they've got
Stick with you on every terrain
any weather; sun or rain

Watch out for them and be one yourself!
real friends are very scarce, those that really wish you good and stick with you on every terrian

Tabula rasa
Gods1son Sep 2018
Sweet and bitter
Smooth and crooked
Hills and valleys
Plenty and lacking
Wins and losses (lessons)
Peace and divisions
Yes and no

It is said that we are born tabula rasa
Listed above are the inks that wrote on our slate
They have painted the picture of who we are till this date.
There are more inks that you can think of!
Our experiences and our how we reacted to them made us who we are today!

The Now
Gods1son Sep 2018
The only thing we truly have is now
You remember the past
And plan for the future
Because you have the now.
So, be grateful for the now!
We mostly do not value NOW which is the only thing we really possess. I guess the NOW would also mean the LIFE

Scared of this limelight
Gods1son Sep 2018
To be honest with you,
I think I'm scared of this limelight
It feels so good,
Radiating this bright light
But, I'm so worried like,
Can I keep this light bright?

I'm caught between
Creating Plan B if I can't keep up
Or burning bridges so I won't give up!
Sep 2018 · 134
Now
Gods1son Sep 2018
Now
There are three ways to LIVE in the NOW

Enjoy the present moment in the now
Remember the past in the now
Think about the future in the now

The choice is yours to make in the NOW!
Enjoy the NOW!
Sep 2018 · 850
Trip
Gods1son Sep 2018
I want to take you on a trip
To a destination you don't know
The destination is actually blank
But the beauty is by the way

Would you miss all the beauty by the way
Because your mind is at the place
Or would you behold all the beauty by the way

That's the power of living in the NOW!
Maybe that's why it's called the PRESENT (gift)
A lot of times, our focus is on the future unknown and we forget to enjoy the present. Always enjoy the NOW, maybe that's why it's called the present.

Thoughts
Gods1son Sep 2018
Thoughts are attention seekers
YOU are the chooser!
Thoughts will always come, you decide the one(s) to dwell on!

Trust me!
Gods1son Sep 2018
Have you ever asked questions like...

Do you think I have demons in me?
Trust me, NO you don't!
Do you think I'm losing my mind?
Trust me, NO you aren't!
Do you think I can quit trying?
Trust me, NO you can't!
Do you think this pressure will overwhelm me?
Trust me, NO it won't!

Do you think I will make it through this?
Trust me, YES you will!
Do you think I can make it far in this life?
Trust me, YES you can!
Do you think I'm good enough?
Trust me, YES you are!
Do you think I have the strength?
Trust me, YES you do!

Drug abuse
Gods1son Sep 2018
I think I'm losing my chill
I'm considering popping these pills

Too many issues to sweep under the rug
I think I might have to do these drugs

I have too many needs
I might just get high on this ****

Look at me, nothing seems to be on point
Yo, I'm just going to smoke a joint

I have got nothing to flaunt
I will stay indoors and smoke this blunt

Too many things my eyes have seen
I need to slow it down with this lean
Or codeine or promethazine

At the end of it all, they don't solve issues
I'm begging you, stop drug abuse!
Sep 2018 · 297
Empty
Gods1son Sep 2018
It's better to be empty
Than full of crap

One has room
To save valuables

The other needs a broom
To save valuables!
It matters what we fill ourselves with, always save the right information only.

Persistence
Gods1son Sep 2018
Yea, I did make a mistake
Does it have to halt me like a brake?
Do I have to let it feed on me like steak?
Will I dwell on it till my life is at risk?

You said I failed
Well, that doesn't mean I'm frail
You can't get me off this rail
My goal is to accomplish this holy grail

I didn't get it right the first time
I'll do it one more time
Not right? One more time
I won't stop until I say,
"I got it right this time!"
When you really want something, not getting it right won't stop you, not what people say would stop you. You have to do it the Thomas Edison way!

Middle of the night
Gods1son Sep 2018
Woke up in the middle of the night
Reached out for my phone to check the time
Two notifications from Instagram
Quick check and now it's 30mins on the Gram

Decided to put the phone down
Then came a message from a buddy from another town

We texted till the dawn of the day
Oops, I think I forgot to say
It was 3am when I checked the time
****! I couldn't think straight for the rest of the day!
Our phones could be used for our benefits but they could also be a big distraction. Have you ever been a victim of this?
Sep 2018 · 458
From above!
Gods1son Sep 2018
I thought You up in the heavens
Heaven where you see it all
All of these eyesores
Our smooth world like the blade of a saw

Humans turned to beast with sharp claws
How about these cyber wars?
Shootings at the shopping malls?
Brutality with no remorse!

This world is in distress!
Hurricane, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
Oh, Mother Nature has seen stress
Increasing population of the depressed

I asked Him who resides above
Can't You make us harmless as a dove
He said man has the power to make a choice
Forgive us all, pls hear my voice!

Gift
Gods1son Sep 2018
Feedback is a gift
If you get one,
Don't let it cause a rift
Ensure to make the proper shift!
Feedback could feel harsh sometimes but if properly used, it would improve the quality of our works. Be grateful when you receive one.

Vessel
Gods1son Sep 2018
I grew up thinking I was this vessel
Wasn't told my vessel is just like a castle
My castle got printed with people's stencils
Those stencils almost brought me to a standstill

My vessel was named different titles
Fat as a pig
Short as a wink
Big eyed like an ostrich
Those titles did hurt me

They did hurt till I made a discovery
Discovered my body is just like a chassis
This chassis houses an engine
The engine is the real me

The real me is who I am on the inside
The inside holds my spirit, soul and emotions
Don't judge me based on this trolley
Pls, say no to bullying!

The journey!
Gods1son Sep 2018
I was on a journey to being perfect
On this road, the landmarks were my defects
The walls were painted with my mistakes
Passersby constantly hailed my weakness

The path was dark and lonely
Felt so ugly, those comments really bruised me
Was eager to fight like I was Bruce Lee
My thoughts said everybody ******* me

Definitely, my saddest venture ever
I thought I was very clever
Gladly, I found an escape through the sewer

Oh, What an awful adventure
Welcomed myself back to reality
Learnt to appreciate my inner treasure
Helped me live above mediocrity.
Sep 2018 · 655
Peace
Gods1son Sep 2018
Those pillow fights
Set my soul high like boeing 777 flight
When you hug me tight
My heart burdens turn light

With you in my arms
I'm confident like Navy SEALs with their arms
You are my lucky charm
On rough days,
your thoughts get me going like a tram

Remember that day I got you ******
My day was totally eclipsed
It was restored when we kissed
Now you know why I call you Peace!
Sep 2018 · 634
At last!
Gods1son Sep 2018
From the first day I saw you
I knew you would be mine
I figured it would take time
I promised myself to wait

Those curves on your lips
Complements those on your hips
The sound of your voice
Is like Angels singing praises

Good things don't come easy
It took months to get a date with you
Cos you were always busy
I'm glad to say on this day
That you are now my Mrs.
Sep 2018 · 170
Leaving
Gods1son Sep 2018
I can't understand why I'm still breathing
You were my reason for living
I can't believe one day u would be leaving
As I'm writing this, I'm weeping
I just hope you are kidding
Baby, I'm right here pleading
I cry out loud, pls recieve me!
When the ONE you care about the most is gone

Snitches
Gods1son Sep 2018
I'm tired of them snitches
They stab your back and still put stitches
Cause you problem, pretend to fix it
Make plans with you but they switch things
I told you my idea but you pitched it

We out there at every picnic
But behind, you try to ***** me
I trusted, but all u do is trick me
I showed you my heart but you ditched me
It all feels like a film trick!
Sep 2018 · 586
School
Gods1son Sep 2018
You must go to school
If I don't,
does it make me a fool
If I do,
does it make me a knowledge pool
I think school is like a tool
It's a waste if not put to use.
What's the point if we don't apply the knowledge from school
Sep 2018 · 176
Books
Gods1son Sep 2018
They say read at least one a week
If I don't,
do you think I'm weak
If I do,
do you think I'm smart or
I filled my brain with other people's art.

Appreciate
Gods1son Sep 2018
We don't appreciate what we have
until we lose it
We don't see the glow on the skin
until we bruise it
We don't believe in miracles
until we need it

We don't appreciate farming
until there's famine
We don't appreciate water availability
until there's water scarcity
We don't appreciate wealth
until we see poverty
We don't appreciate good health
until we experience infirmity

We don't appreciate democracy
until we see tyranny
We don't appreciate loyalty
until we see jealousy
We don't appreciate liberty
until we see slavery!

Challenges
Gods1son Sep 2018
You can overcome the challenges...

C- courage, you have what it takes, just
H- harness the resources at hand
A- attitude, maintain a positive one but
L- learn through the process knowing you're
L- limitless, you can't be stopped
E- expect to win and
N- never give up, never give in
G- goal on your mind always my friend
E- ego, watch it, you can seek for help
S- SUCCESS is sure at the end!
You can make it through whatever it is!

Scene
Gods1son Sep 2018
Did you see me on the scene?
I always wanted to be seen
No one happens to see
Now, I'm losing my drive
I can barely thrive

Just wanna prove a point
Keeps ending in nought
There was always a but
No one ever bought

I stopped trying to satisfy
God began to magnify
Yes, He did pacify
And now, I testify!

Full Sleep
Gods1son Sep 2018
When I'm in bed,
Can the time freeze before I fall asleep
So, I can get my full hours of sleep?
When you spend 2hrs in bed before falling asleep

I found me
Gods1son Sep 2018
This life that I live
Is a second version of you
Or an exact copy of you
I might as well live it in you

My vision is blurred
So is my mission flawed
Because I lost mine,
And what I'm living is yours

I wanted to be like you
It appears I've forgone my path
Now, I need to get it right
And get back on my track

I'm done with you
I'm tired and sick
I don't mean to disrespect you
But I figured my life is unique!
Sep 2018 · 217
My Girl
Gods1son Sep 2018
Hey Girl,
I bet you're a Musician
The sound of your voice strums my ribs
Like the guitar strings
Makes my heart beat
Like the drumsticks

When my phone rings
I can't explain the joy it brings
When you promised to show
I couldn't stop looking through the window

A glimpse of you from afar
Makes my heart skip a beat
That is to say the least
Of how it really feels!
Aug 2018 · 231
Redemption
Gods1son Aug 2018
Yes, it's time for my redemption
Deep down, I can feel the tension
Easier to be stuck to old ways like detention
But I say No, freedom is my intention

I don't need u to approve
Everyday, I wanna improve
Sometimes, I would make a goof
Still, I will stand on my hoof
Till my life is the proof

Then, I will bring some along
Show them how to dance to destiny's song
Together, we build this Universe
To which we all belong.

My Hero
Gods1son Aug 2018
I can see my hero rise
Reaching for the stars
Not with my two eyes
But I can see with my heart

I have a villain in my head
Who is debating my heart
Says I can't achieve the height
You have no wings to fly

I'm left to cast a vote
Sure, I can't choose both
Mr villain, I'm not sorry to revolt
Cos my heart is who I choose

I've got to set my goals
Ready to pay the price
I will watch me grow
Till I reach the height!
Aug 2018 · 238
Face it!
Gods1son Aug 2018
You have to confront it
To overcome it.
Stop hiding,
Start attacking,
Victory awaiting!
Who says you cannot achieve it? It all depends on you!
