The Auction

going once 
going twice
i wince at the
thought of my future 
being gone
i look around 
and ignore the rich  
in the room
lifting up my right hand
to bid all i have left
silently pledging
with my dreams 
my joy
my heart and
my hunger
to remain diligent 
never ignoring
possibilities
with teary eyes 
i stare and stand
my right hand still 
lifted high 
feeling like
another number in the
crowd fighting for my life
i cant help but notice 
the silence in the room as i 
plea for another chance
i look to the left 
of me
no one is standing
i look to the right of me
no one is standing
i look in front of me
my future looking bright
and appreciative of my pledge 
then "SOLD" is what he said
to the woman who believes
i still have my future

My Creator

created 
yet, not once did i consider 
my creator
when i thought less of myself
and wanted to be someone else
not once did i consider my creator
my creator who is perfect and fair
the father of all things
who knows all things
who sees all things
who rules all things
high above
and beneath 
the deepest sea
not once did i consider my creator
my creator who is thoughtful and loving 
every promise is promising
never leaving me behind doors 
that i cant walk through
never stuck because of imperfections
that leave me defeated 
or constantly replaceable
theres beauty in me
even with flaws
im not permanently floored
my weaknesses 
leave me standing
in a unique position
because of my creator
my creator who kept me still 
while strong winds would blow
knocking down what exist around me
making me the pillar
unknowingly
sharing who i am 
when i think theres nothing left
those hidden parts of me 
that my creator created
swim to the surface 
and leave others blessed
oh what joy
when i reject doubt
and believe in my creator who created me

Blessed

As the world spins 
I can see 
There is nothing like
Your love for me
Your love took me in
When I was broken 
And changed me into 
A piece of you
Something I know was imposssible, impossible?
Yes impossible 
How can joy come from fear?
How can love come from loneliness?
How can beauty be seen in brokeness?
It is you
I know what exist at the beginning 
Of my roots
And the soil I'm in 
Is lacking 
Hope 
Love and 
Confidence
Sources of victory energy 
Yet still I remain
It is you 
They say flowers can't bloom 
In bad soil
Yet I'm living
Growing taller and 
changing colors 
As the world spins
I can see
There is nothing like 
your love for me, I'm blessed

Blink

i blinked
just like that my life
was different
people don't understand 
how much power they truly 
have over their lives
some people choose to drown
than to swim
some choose to die than to live
i'm choosing 
hope over death
victory over defeat
love over war
Gods will over me
i've had so many blessings
that a lifetime isn't enough
time to count them all
i'm believing God
not for anything ordinary
because he's not an ordinary man
i'm believing him for everything he
has ever wanted to give me
starting with his love
his love that covers the globe
yet nurtures the inner parts of my soul
evident on the surface of things
but i'm going to embrace the love 
deep into my bloodstream
i don't know how people live without him
some willingly others unknowingly
knowing him is not about being
super spiritual
but it's about being real with you
how did the big bang give you a heart beat
why can't lava donate hearts for heart surgery 
if it was just that easy
i mean people are crying
struggling to find the answer
when God is right there
waving his hand
not to judge you because he's not proud
but he said i am that i am
just believe
if you want to see just blink

Role Play

What happens when you know 
The difference between right and wrong
Majority sings wrong
So you sing the same song
What happens when you 
Value love but you're forced to
Value money
Now you're living like someone else
Because you think 
if you were yourself
The only thing left of you 
Would be a picture on the shelf
You just couldnt make it through
Holding on to your precious values
Now you're teaching your 5 year old
How to be a soldier
Because you have grown cold
As you have grown older
Taking away a future that could 
Bring positive change
Because everyone in a lifetime 
has a role to play
In a big crowd, if you're the one 
To sit down
You're leaving room for someone
to take your place
So in everything you do
Be encouraged to be you 
And be consistent
When you dont play your role
Then a piece of the story
Is missing

Prodigal Son

I had the option to choose
What was best for you
I chose me
Thinking that I would be 
All you need
I can do anything through Christ who 
Strengthens me
With him everything I touch
Brightens up
Everyday I live is worth living up
I have a habit of wanting to give the
best and be the best
For the ones that I love
But in your case my best wasnt good 
enough
When you turn back
I will still be the same 
Rushing to embrace 
The prodigal son
