Normal Life

Have you ever had the feeling of being alone?

Lost in the world to fend for your own.

Admired by many yet felt so alone.

Or friend to all and loved by his own.

A scary thought when the world seems to care,

Yet in reality no one does.

Lost in time,

Yet everyone knows who you are.

Scared within,

Although everyone sees the courage you bring.

Trusted by all,

Loyal to all,

A man of your word,

Yet all seems lost.

Alone in the dark,

And when you go home.

Broken hearted by all that you know.

Hopeless at times,

The thoughts in your mind.

Wishing you could turn back the hands of time.

And make everything feel alright.

And have a normal life….

Dove

Why do I feel as if nothing has changed.

As if the thought of you has never left my brain.

Have told me more than once,

Yet doubts still cross my mind.

As if a signal was missed,

And I lost my mind.

Paths never crossed in the mindset that I’m in,

Yet it seems as if you don’t want to give in.

To the reality of your nightmare.

No way no how you feel like this,

Don’t deserve a guy like this,

Who are you to judge when he is opening his arms,

And all you do is turn him on and off.

At days yes and some days no,

Confusing the hell out of his poor soul.

Nice cover with the new guy in your life,

Yet we all know that is just a lie.

A temporary fix,

Just to throw off his tricks.

A tough game played,

But it’s about to be over.

The one that would have given his all is about to fold over,

Give up…

Lose hope…

And not look back.

Try his luck in a different world,

And not go back.

To his past life,

Where it was full of immature games.

Played by people who just claimed,

To be ready to move on,

And settle down,

Yet all they found was another frown.

While the person that made them smile is off in another world,

Trying his luck and some lucky girl,

One who will give this guy a chance,

And test the young fellow,

To see if he knows how to dance.

A chance he has been dieing to get,

But has failed in each of his past few attempts.

None have cared,

But only laughed.

Heartbroken,

And teared is this lad.

Only to hope for his chance at love,

For he is still missing his dove…

God has helped me

God has helped me,

Become the man that you see.

So take me as you see,

Or let me be.

With You by my side I have no place to fall,

Only to look up and wait for my call.

No one can change who I am today,

God has helped me mold,

Into the man that you see today.

God has helped me,

Become the man that you see.

So take me as you see,

Or let me be.

Try to change me and you shall fall,

Many have tried and I still stand tall.

As the man that I want to be,

Standing tall independently.

I am me because God told thee.

God has helped me,

Become the man that you see.

So take me as you see,

Or let me be.

Strangers in thoughts,

Friends as we speak.

Thoughts and words get caught up so easily.

No change in the man that you see,

Try and you’ll fail miserably.

God has helped me,

Become the man that you see.

So take me as you see,

Or let me be.

No one can judge me,

Only witness my story,

As I pass by you in glory.

Fall to only one man,

Bend to His will,

No mortal soul can mend my skill.

For I am perfect in His eyes,

And He will help me touch the sky.

God has helped me,

Become the man that you see.

So take me as you see,

Or let me be.

Take Two

Don’t even know you,

Seen just a glimpse.

So how can one find a way to settle in.

Life isn’t easy,

A battle everyday,

A war that one will continue to fight until their last breath.

Desperate it may seem,

But it comes far from normality.

Emotions run like sprinters do,

Fast down the lane then stop as soon as they think the race is through.

But emotions take you on more than just a race,

Much like a marathon but mix in a roller coaster and a high speed chase.

Strange as it may seem,

Emotions run free,

Just have to be lucky like in the lottery.

To settle them down and know the way,

For if you stay young you’ll be stuck in that race.

Immature and stupid on might see,

But only to realize that its themselves that they see.

Scared for the future,

Afraid of their past,

A picky soul with no compass in hand.

Stuck in a battle that goes on forever,

With no one to help them fight off the pretenders.

But the one who contends is the one that will stay to help,

Yet is the one that gets left to fend for themselves.

Emotions in life are tough to swallow,

But something we all must learn to mend and follow.

Pray

All you have to do is pray.

No more standing around waiting for the day.

That day will never come,

Unless you talk to the man from above.

People don’t want to believe,

Yet we are all as happy as can be.

Only if we understand the true meaning of thee.

Not the ones who show up when they feel like it,

Not the ones who bad mouth His name,

Not the ones who commit those sins knowing they are in vein.

But the ones who sacrifice,

Their time,

Their talents,

And their will to carry on.

Those who follow His path and live His word.

Those who believe without seeing,

Those with true faith,

Those are the ones who are happy everyday.

So you can pretend that those airplanes are shooting stars,

And make your wish right now.

But wishes that come true don’t fill your tank of happiness,

Only a temporary joy.

Fantasies are far from reality,

Things you only see on the big screen.

Movies and Hollywood make them seem you can chase a dream.

You can run for years and not find joy.

But you can sacrifice your time and pray to the Lord.

You can say that it’s boring,

And nothing will happen,

But I know that praying will open those doors for great things to happen.

Lucky…some might say,

But I just look at it as the Lord blessing me along the way.

Endure So Much

Tell me how you do it,

Care for me so much,

At times I sit and wonder how you endure so much.

In times of need you care for me,

Countless times I have failed you yet you still walk by my side,

How in the world do you withstand such blasts,

And you don’t look back.

Tell me how you do it,

Care for me so much,

At times I sit and wonder how you endure so much.

You care for me when I don’t care for you,

You trust in me when I doubt everything in you,

How can you stand there with open arms and say that you love me when I don’t love myself,

Tell me how you do it,

Care for me so much,

At times I sit and wonder how you endure so much.

You see hope where others have given up,

You pray for us when we have sinned so much,

You believe in us when we don’t believe in you,

Why do you continue to do the things you do.

Tell me how you do it,

Care for me so much,

At times I sit and wonder how you endure so much.

I will never find out why you endure so much,

As to why you care so much,

But I will sit here and try to listen.

For a student must need a teacher to teach,

But some things are better off unsaid so I may still wonder why,

Why do you do it,

Care for me so much,

So I may sit and wonder how you endure so much.
