Trials and tribulations
Tests and persecutions
Trying times
Tormenting periods

They are all for a season
For faith workout reasons
My friend, do not cower
Let your faith rise like a tower

I won't give up
I won't give in
I won't cave in

This is my faith
And this too shall pass
Soon, I will look back and say
Yay, Season has changed!

This world is in a mess
I refused to be depressed
Just too many happenings to digest
Oh my God, this is too much stress!

True people are rare as a Unicorn
Maybe beautiful souls are yet to be born
Or dead in the tomb
Are we corrupted from the womb?

Selfishness is the order of the day
We care less if it doesn't pay
All I see is mere pretence
Been a while, I heard a true sentence

I cry, we need a Messiah
I lie, we are the messiahs
A better world starts with me
And continues with you

We are "messiahs"

It's easier for me to say
"I love you"
Than
"I like you"
But
"I really do like you"

Do you know me
Or it's just what I showed you?

I look inside, all I see is gold
I try to let it out but ain't bold
I got caught up in what I was told
On the outside, I start to grow mold.

My content is intact
But I couldn't get it out
Disapproval a major factor
Maybe I need a mentor
Or a mental restructure
Falling apart, I need a suture

Started to mine my reserve
I ensured to preserve
Slowly began to serve
All the negativity reversed
A lot blessed by every verse.

Tried to satisfy everybody
But when I was in need, who was there?
Sadly, nobody!
Even those that called me Dear

I would go out of my way
To help people save the day
Often times, I question myself
Does it really pay?
Should I care just for myself?

Then came a voice in my head
Or maybe from my heart
You do it not for them
But for the greater good
Keep up the positive mood!

My imaginative prowess
Sometimes, I forget you
Never meant to neglect you
What can I do without you

You are such a beauty
Can't explain why I cheat you
I know you can see through
That I still befit you

I am here to apologize
Can we re-strategize
Show me all of you
I promise all of me!

Hi Hope,
I need you please
Get me up this *****
Can barely cope
I need some ease.
Again, I say please!

I need grace
As my brace
For this race

The journey ahead
Needs more than my head
Or maybe I'm scared

To stay afloat
To reach my goals
Maintain my glow

I need grace!

Life is full of choices
Everyday, we make a lot of it
From the food we eat
To the time we sleep

Choice to stand on our feet
Or accept defeat
Choice to be trampled on
Or to fight head-on

Choice to give up on our dreams
Or look inside and see the beams
Choice to be a giver
Or always the receiver

Be aware of the clash
Heart and head often bash
Good choices make a life
The opposite mars a life
