When the world declares war on you
And your thoughts rebell on yourself
nobody is there to defend you
I will fight for you, when you won’t fight for yourself
It hurts me when you hurt, Not because you did anything wrong
I will struggle with you, so you won’t have to alone.
I’ll come to you to help take on some of your pain
But I know full well that it won’t make it go away
You dont hurt me
I...
We long for those magical moments, where God's love fills you
That warm wonderful feeling, where you can feel him in the room
Like when we're worshiping together, with my brothers and sisters in Christ
When his joy fills us all, and everything's just right
He is with me
But what about the opposite? When I'm alone and at the bottom
When colors feel muted, everything goes numb, and I feel forgotte...
In the world of dreams and wonder,
Where innocence and love collide,
There lies a treasure, oh so tender,
The words we speak, a gentle guide.
"I love you," we whisper, soft and true,
With arms outstretched, we hold them tight,
Through every joy and challenge they go through,
Our love will guide them, day and night.
"You're special," we say, with gleaming eyes,
For each child holds a unique light...

If I were to talk about something meaningful
Would I say: hearing the words “I love you,” or something similar?
Those words used to lift me up,
But now they only hurt me.
So what of the strange and miscellaneous information
Stored in my headspace shall I choose?
Because now that I need to pick from my thoughts,
The relevant ones flee, all but one.
“God, save me from your...
In the dawn of your days when the world was a game,
I asked you to tidy, to clean, and to tame
The chaos of youth, the untamed room's sprawl,
To learn from the rise after every small fall.
"Yes, ma'am" and "Yes, sir," the words that you'd say,
Not knowing their weight or the price they'd repay.
A chore here, a task there, a small daily grind,
Seeds sown in the soil of the young, growing mind.
Yo...
I’ve been told by a
toothless man that 1+1 is 4.
He later asked if I could
I could spot him on a “itty bitty quarter.”
I’ve been given food for thought
by men who couldn’t afford food.
They told me to work very hard,
“Cause look at all the hell we bought.”
I’ve been told there’s lizard folk
within the Oval Office.
But that was at a pet food store,
while I was looking at iguanas.
I’ve h...
It wasn’t your fault they left,
It wasn’t your fault they cried,
It wasn’t your fault they hurt you,
It wasn’t your fault they did that.
It will never be your fault that they said that,
It will never be your fault that you didn’t see it
And it will never be your fault that they did it,
They made a choice and it’s not your fault.
It isn’t your fault that you cried for weeks,
It isn’t your fault t...
What do you mean, don’t cry over spilt milk?
Do I not cry when I spill the milk?
No, that isn’t what I mean. It’s okay though, as it took me some time too, to grasp this one.
So what does it mean?
Well you see, many bad things happen in this world.
There is war.
Hate.
Racism.
Poverty.
Corruption.
People killing.
People dying.
Many more can be added.
What happens you ask, if you l...
