World of Ruins

I see the world lying in ruins

Places broken into with intrusions

Ashes fill the street with broken promise

With all the opportunity that we miss

Houses crumbling with abuse

WIth all these resources we misuse

Plates left filled with uneaten food

Like we take all the food just to exclude

While other plates lie empty for months at a time

Eating anything, even stuff covered in grime

Kids left freezing while others complain about their phone

For some reason all other issues go unknown

We have closets filled with shoes

While kids practically living naked hardly make the news

And when we see we hardly bat an eye

We leave the troubles for another guy

If everyone relies on someone else, then who is left to make the move

If everyone did a little bit imagine how much the world would improve

Just give one little sacrifice for those who live without

Instead we don't get a candy bar so we sit around and pout

I see this world with so much potential

But we don't care, we just let it crumble

Sleepless Night

Just another sleepless night
As my mind takes flight
On the same adventures it often takes
To a place I wish wasnt so fake
To my dreamland with me and you 
But it is to good to be true
I think about it hours on end 
It doesn't help with my heart which needs to mend
To a land that is to far away
And truly I don't want to go anyway
I have been there too many times before
It left me returning with nothing but blood and gore
So I fight with all my might
But it just ends with another sleepless night 

Meaningful Fling

I don't want just a meaningless fling
I want a never ending thing
I want to wake up in the morning to see the same face
To wake up in the morning in the same place
To know that next to me lies a girl I didn't just meet last night
But instead a girl that has remained through all fights 
Through all the troubles that brought the tears
And those moments that brought on cheers
The girl whose finger I can put a ring
Because we weren't just a meaningless fling 

Revived

I sometimes look back to the life I had

Everyone thought I was good, but  I was rotten to the core bad

But that's the past, I am never coming back

Because I have something now that then I had lacked

The love of the Lord, and His forgiveness

Now I do the Lord's business, as God as my witness

My prayers go out to those who don't know

But His love for them remains, no matter where they go

You can run, but you can't hide

Trust me, as one who had always denied 

I was caught by the light

Over my soul the darkness soon lost the fight

And in the glory of God I was saved

And all my past sins were waved

So now I try to stay away from the shadows

Before it engulfs me again with one big swallow

But from the stomach of the whale I have survived

Because with the Lord I have become revived 

Your Mark

I'm lying here with a confused face
Feeling like we've been through this same phase
I'm sitting here waiting for you to call
I can feel myself about to fall
Down to my knees filled with tears
This is one of my many fears
To be here left without your heart
I wish we would never grow apart
I long for our lips to touch
For this feeling is such a rush
Me and you are meant to be
I just hope you come to see
That I am your superman
Longing to get you out of any jam
And you can be my cinderella
As we meet under my huge umbrella
And I will kiss you in the rain
And I hope that you would do the same
I just want to hold you close
And give you a beauquet of rose
But no rose will ever match your beauty
Not now or ever for eternity
For you are the only one I long
For you I have written this poem song
you are my sunshine in the dark 
On my heart you have left your mark 

Valley of Death

Sometimes our feelings seem hard to express
All these people surround us who we try to impress
We want to go left, but our friends are going right
We fight and fight and but go right against all our might
We try to find our way back, but we've gone to far
No road in sight, no sound of a car
You look around to realize you are all alone
Into the valley of death you have been thrown
So you crawl and crawl back to civilization
To join the road with your new realization
No matter how hard you try to impress those near
They may not always be here to hear
So when the impression starts to end
True friendships will begin to mend
Those who take you on the right track
And to the old life you never look back

Daydreams

There is no such thing as a childish dream

If you work hard the world is yours to redeem 

Keep your head up and your eyes high

Because everything is possible if you just try

Push and push through the hard times

No one ever said dreaming to high was a crime

The higher the dream, the greater the work

Keep a positive attitude and a little smirk

Laugh at the things that go wrong, you can’t change them

Every giant sequoia started as a little stem

So grow and grow as time goes

Don’t let an opportunity slip under your nose

Everything great started as a little dream

It may be hard, like your swimming upstream

Everything was impossible until it was proven possible

Don’t let any tell you your dream isn't plausible

Why dream at night while you can dream while awake

Until its your to dreams that you awake

Never give up on your dream

Is this poems recurring theme

Inner City

I can’t deny that I’m a mess

I’m falling apart, I confess

Broken pieces float inside

Losing myself in my own pride

My heart pounds faster, faster

Look inside and see a huge disaster

Crumbling buildings falling, falling

My phone rings, my heart is calling

“Save me please from yourself

You’ve thrown your life up on a shelf”

Thrown my life to the side

To myself I have lied

Trying to be someone I am not

And my inner soul I have rot

But my heart begs for a change

I look at my life and rearrange

Reconstruct my inner city

My heart takes over the committee

Never again will I let myself fall

My inner city will now stand tall

Perfect Bliss

I’m over you and over it

I’m over every single bit

I’m over everything that we were

I’m taping back my heart that you tore

Looking back will be a no

For your true desires I now know

I was lost in it all

For your tricks, I did fall

But I am up, and will not drop

I will not allow myself to flop

Pick me up and carry me while I am weak

Lord, for You I seek

If I fall it will be to my knees

There I rest and say my pleas

Confess my mistakes and worship You

Because Your love for me is true

Your grace has rescued me from all of this

And you have left me with perfect bliss 

Knee's Bowed

I just want to be the world’s inspiration

For they have always been my motivation

To make this world a better place

Until love for all is what we embrace

One day all guns will drop and hands will shake

And every smile will be genuine and no longer fake

The world will finally become one huge nation

Just how it was meant to be as God’s creation

When we can finally experience heaven upon earth 

And this world will undergo a rebirth

A whole nation being baptized to the Lord

And the whole nation will know His word

Finally every knee will bow down

And realize the King and His crown

See His throne raised above us

And we give our lives to Him in trust

To save this world from its distraught

By the grace that Jesus Christ has brought

Happily Never After

No matter how much I try to avoid
It appears you've left my heart with too big a void
I see your face every way I look
Im reminded of you by every story in every book
You're long hair that seemed to never end
Sent my life on so many wicked bends
Roller coaster ride would be an understatement
You were every ounce of my inspiration
But one day when I awoke
You were gone and we no longer spoke
Guess that's what they call life
Being left with a stab from a knife
It appears I'm not over you
And that statement is so very true
However, I will not turn back and wait
Because that moment is just too late
So forever now I will end the story with no alter
As it goes, happily never after

Wealthy Living

When I look at the world I see its troubles

Caused by us humans being such rebels

Racing for the biggest riches

And whose stacks of money can be the biggest

Whose lawn is nicer, whose house is bigger

And whoever has those will be the winner

But maybe we are going at it all wrong

We never questioned it, we all just went along

Maybe riches are meant for different measures

And not just by our physical pleasures

The rich in spirit and inner peace

To glue the earth back together piece by piece

To see the brokenness through it all

Pick up others when they fall

To stop the separations between each country

Join together in one big unity

To feed each mouth of our earthly mates

With all the food that remains uneaten on our plates

To put a roof over every head

Give each person some clothes and a bed

To live a bit more humble lifestyle

Live a little a bit more versatile 

To make a change on this earth

Give this life a little more worth

Help each and every soul

Until we reach our peaceful goal 

The Shadow Shines Bright

In my head are these hypocritical thoughts 

Oh, how I wish they all would rot

I’m just trying to live my life pure

But at times my disease seems uncured

It has its moments where it controls my whole being

And all I have done it tries undoing

But when I just take a step back

My life seems to get right back on track

If I just take my time and pray

He will never betray

Ask and you will receive

But never let evil gifts deceive 

Don’t allow the darkness to dress up as light

Because in the darkness you have no sight

But in the light all is revealed

While in the darkness all evil remains concealed 

So I live my life with the light shining on me

Allowing all my actions for the world to see

No longer will I hide away in the lightless 

Because my life will be filled with brightness 

Thank You Dad

When you have something forever you don’t truly appreciate it

It has happened so long you sort of expect it

Then one day, it is gone

And you realize you were completely wrong

That you have taken for granite someone who held you so dear

But you just brushed him off when he was near

“You work too much, you never have time”

Like putting food on your table was some sort of crime

Like every moment he didn’t want to be with you

How this statement couldn't be more untrue

Just hopefully you see this before it is too late

And you can cancel out all acts of hate

And show your dad all the love you can show

Because I just want him to know

That I do truly love him, even though I may not show it

I just want you to know it

I see now the sacrifices you have made

Because your love for me over all else outweighed 

Thank you dad for all you have done for me

I’m sorry it took me so long to see

Language of Love

I just wanna be the reason for the smile on your face

To know that I have finally found my place

To find the one to call my own

To find that feeling that I have never known

To get away from this evil spiral

To move my life into revival

And feel your fingers intertwined in mine

To know that everything is going to be fine

To feel the butterflies flutter within

To hope that feeling would never end

And feel myself float away

With every single word that you say

But most importantly to show you how beautifully you are created

And how your perfection could never be debated

To pick you up when you are down

To place a smile where there used to be a frown

To hold you near when you feel weak

And be there when you’re at rock bottom and not just your highest peak

To give you my heart and hold yours dear

Because through it all I will always be here

To show you love in every single aspect

And the language of love will be my only dialect

Forever and a While

I’m just looking for the one to call my own

To show the world how much I’ve grown

To prove to my self that I’m worthy of love

Given new life from the One above

A change of heart and a change of ways

My old life is now an old phase 

Just looking for that new page

An end of my page of rage

So I take on a new road to a new place

I have the same body, have the same face

But I have a different mind, have a new pair of eyes

My old self is left abandoned, I just left him out to die

Out grows this new me

And I’m just hoping that the world will see

Just looking for the one to hold in my arms

To protect from all harms

To wipe the tears from her eyes

And ask “whats going on” when I hear her sighs

To tell her everything will be good when she feels down

To wipe off all of her frowns

To share in her laughs and happiness

To serve her when she’s sick like she’s my highness 

To take pictures of her smile

Frame them all on my wall for forever and a while

To see her face as I get down on one knee

To find the one that wants to spend her whole life with me

I would walk to her side for forever and a mile

Just to get the chance to say “I do for forever and a while” 

Crow Soul

Inside my soul are feelings I cannot put into words

So they just come out as swords

Come out as attacks on those who hear

And cause hatred by those who are near

But my heart screams out for their love

Just crying to be pure like a dove

But my mouth just spits out crows

And these crows are all that anybody knows

They can’t be caged and can’t be tamed

They come out and have taken my name

The doves just sit inside and stir

But out come the crows and the doves are left to defer 

It seems the crows have infected me and taken over like a cancer

I just want to find the answer

To find the cure to this disease

And I could stop being viewed as a sleaze

If only my words reflected my soul

Or has it been so long that these crows have finally taken control

Caged In

I seem to be lost in what we used to be

And since you left I have never been set free

My heart still lies broken in your trash

You took it, burned it, left it as ash

My head still goes back to those days

The way you smiled and how I would be lost in a daze

Like I have forgotten what you have done to me

How times got tough and you just got up to flee

How I poured out my soul, and you’d just soak it up with a sponge

Leaving my life for a rapid plunge

A plunge I have yet to recover

Like your evil ways I am yet to discover

Maybe one day we can be back to normal

But that’d just be a scary activity, call it paranormal

So I just go on and grow a new heart

My old ones for you to keep, for we will always be apart
