Everything and Nothing

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

I’ve let it go too far

How do I turn back

When I was a star

Life was on track

Took it for granted

Felt quite invincible

My aura enchanted

Now rather invisible

Stringing two hopes

Together with pain

This is how one copes

With constant strain

Remaining busy doing

Everything and nothing

Disdain still brewing

Longing for something

Reluctantly pressing on

Fuelled by pigheadedness

Losing like I alre...

Meet The Panel

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

The look she gave me as I entered

Just her, the one on the far right,

Made me feel small despite my height.

I breathed in deep, trying to get centred.

Next, I received a limp, wet handshake

Not the strong start I was hoping for.

My feet and eyes crept toward the door

I found myself praying for an earthquake.

For the ground to swallow me whole,

Before things went south with the third.

My stomach...

No, Not Today, No, Not Ever

Unyielding Hope

Tell the enemy we’re not giving up this fight

Boldly proclaiming when I see him, it’s on sight

Stepping toe to toe at the bottom of the pit

Despair is not a threat, I’m never going to quit

Declaring freedom in the middle of the dark

Watch me soar through my redemption ark

My faith remains robust and unwavering

For the momentous victory we’ll be savouring

No, not today, no, not ever, am I giving i...

Wonderfully Divine

Unyielding Hope

1 min read

It was a cold winter’s morning

The smell of rain still lingered

Baby was waking and yawning

Sheer wonder her eyes delivered

Mine set upon the dark of dawn

Seeing clouds form at ground level

Her tiny smile was heaven-drawn

God’s ultimate blessing, so special

As the heavy fog settled gradually

Obstructing all that we could see

She nestled in my arms instinctively

I was the happiest I could ever be...

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...
