Perseverance

I need some self-control…
I need some courage right this instant
Boldness and brilliance is on my tongue…
Bravery was always my middle name…
But, I need His Holy Spirit as a whole…
I need some patience and strength 
To get through this tiresome night…I’m like a busy, little ant…
My head is in the clouds
My head’s been wandering ‘round in shrouds
Of gold, silver and bronze
I want to be a shining sun and a shimmering moon
Real soon, it’ll be a full moon…
I’m a fool for taking wisdom for granite 
I didn’t mean to take advantage of friendship
I need to get a grip…
Tears are falling out of my eyes
Can’t stand the senseless lies
The anxiety took advantage of me
The sadness is behind me now
Somehow, I raise a brow
Thinkin’ to myself, “How the hell did I make it throughout the years!?”
I want some happiness in my life
I want some gladness instead of endless strife
I want His love from above, not hell from down below
Show me a reason to live life to the fullest
When my tunnel leads to darkness to the best of its ability
I need some sustainability…
I need some rest 
Because I tried my best,
Trying so hard to believe in myself
I feel so down – gravity pushes me way, way down
I’m still wearing an upside down frown
Get out of town because I’m wasting time…
I’m as worthless as a rusty dime
Yet, my humility is getting me somewhat happy…
My pride leaves me feelin’ so crappy…
Yet, I feel so alone
On my own…
And I don’t want to feel for you anymore…
No more madness and sadness…
I’m sick of the daily dose of distress
I need some kind of season of love
Because I can’t stop thinking of
You…
Out of the blue…
God has given me some perseverance today
I’ve been having it my way
Until my perverse mouth poured forth vain things
Profanity, agony and insanity is in my brew of coffee
I cracked up some dirty jokes 
That can give someone a heart attack…
I lack self-control
I’m such a fool
Fill in my hole…
Of loneliness…I’m swimming in the pleasureless pool
Everything happened so quickly…
I was on Cloud a million till you left me with me…
Till you left me with me…
And I am fragile and young…still, a wise dork
That is like a rotting plate of pork
I’ve been feeling the need to lean on someone’s shoulder…  
Because I’m as stiff as ever like a blasted boulder
You turned the cold shoulder
Because I’m the water under the bridge
I need His Holy Ghost
I need it so badly…something I won’t boast about
His Fruit is delicious and delectable 
I’m like an unstable table…
My story will be told like a silly, wonderful, childlike fable
I suppose I was just another label 
In society…
My only plea…
Is to see you exultant…
Because you are excellent
In my eyes…
In my longing, sea-forest (green-blue) eyes…
I’m very unable to crawl out of depression’s reach
I’m like a beach 
Without its crazy-cool water source…
without its sun-shining, sly seagulls… 
Without its coursing, whirling wind…

I need perseverance 
I need some sort of reverence
Towards Him…
He’s my one and only whim
He’s a radiant remembrance
My scatter-brained skull
And my sluggish soul 
Are seeking evanescence…
Positivity and optimistic spirits zip through my lane of thought
Despite usual negative, pessimistic and horrid little notions…
I’m feeling okay – just hand me passionate potions
So, I can drink my life away…so, I can drown away all egotistical emotions 
My reputation may be in pieces…
God, You know that I tried to keep it peaceful
Tranquility isn’t always my cup of tea…
If you know what I mean…I get so regretful
And I want to fly away and be free…

God knows I’ve tried…
Satan isn’t going to intervene with my love toward Him…
My one and only whim.
