Surviving On A Whim

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

Made in his image

With my own will

Raised by a village

And growing still

Made from clay

A cold wet heart

From the first day

Warped work of art

Made to succeed

Barely getting by

Created to lead

Mostly living a lie

Supreme Sculptor

Makes no mistakes

I pray to the altar

For what it takes

To be more like him

A lot less like me

Surviving on a whim...

The Real Him

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

Heard the real him

Didn’t feel protected

It was rather grim

Far from collectd

Definitely not calm

So easily angered

Did no actual harm

But wasn’t anchored

Where was it hidden

And why only here

None of it forbidden

Still difficult to hear

A hero to everyone

Except his own Son...

When The Time Is Right

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

We need to get there at the right time.

We will get there when the time is right.

Not everything is about love in this life.

Love is everything, there’s no life without it.

You have to lock in and focus for success.

It might pass you by if you never look up.

Learn to make sacrifices for what you want.

Learning from mistakes sounds less painful.

A closed mouth doesn’t get fed, speak up.

Worse s...

**_Full title: The Child, The Timid Lion & The Superficial Outcast _******

****

What did you do?

Everything that I could

To survive childhood

I was seen, not heard

No matter what occurred

I dimmed my light

Avoided the fight

Pretended I wasn’t blue

I just made it through

What did you do?

Partied way too hard

Hid that I was scarred

Overcompensated

Became who I hated

A superficial outcast

A Glimpse Of Glory

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

Most effective when up against it

Applying the pressure early helps

Deadlines don’t worry me one bit

I move only when someone yelps

Anxiously from a burning building

Which my own indecision set alight

A precious wisdom I’m seldom wielding

Like a hurt spouse looking for a fight

Instead of a solution, self-destruction

Imploding daily, rather unnecessarily

Because I am the only real obstruction

Self-Inflicted Boredom

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

Put your phone down

And remove that frown

Five minutes won’t kill

Just relax, take a chill

You might be surprised

The silence you despised

Avoided for so long

Drowned out with song

Buried under the noise

Insisted no one enjoys

Will eventually save you

This I know to be true

Your mental freedom

Is on the other side of

Self-inflicted boredom...

Free From Love

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

'I prayed this was one of my smaller mistakes.'

It all seemed as fundamentally real as deepfakes

Consistently driven by the purest of intentions

Sustained by a cycle of denial and reflections

Unfortunately, history cannot be unwritten

The direction we took after we were so smitten

A wrong turn here, a wayward thought there

I really believed in love, it was all meant to be fair

Overlooking tha...

Woulda Shoulda Coulda

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

I never knew you felt that way,

It took a long time for you to say.

Friends to lovers, we never would,

As much as I thought we should.

Daydreaming about crossing lines,

Whilst observing for clear signs.

Our moment quickly came and went,

1000 times, in my mind, no rent.

You’ve always lived to the fullest

Fate, it can often be the cruelest.

All there’s left to do now is give a toast,

To love that co...

The Ultimate Proposition

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

Not for sport, nor for fun

Most of us try to run

From this unseen entity

Etched in our identity

The helper who haunts

Honourably he daunts

A truly Holy disposition

The ultimate proposition

Beckoning us all home

With a heartfelt shalom

And sincere uko salama

Regardless of any karma

Personified divinity

The last of the Trinity...

She Could

She could crush my soul

I’d given her my whole heart

Yet her love saved me...
