You have presented me with great challenges that brought great opportunity.
Covered head-to-toe in the things I cannot let go.
I revel in Your mercy and I seek Your grace.
I let my eyes wander for a season, but they always meet Yours again.
I watch my feet as they walk their own path.
You call my name and I freeze in my tracks,
suddenly recognizing what has become of me.
My feeling of Your absentness was skewed.
When You were right behind me, watching my every step.
So, I come to You now with a heavy heart and a strong plea.
Lord, take these burdens away from me.

Looking in the mirror
I peer into my soul
Who am I now?
How did I get here?
I fear I'm lost
Tossed into this world like nothing
Something worthless
Like I'm worth less than bread
And I dread tomorrow
Sorrow overpowers my will
To go on
Is hope gone?
How can I carry on
Like this?
I miss sanity
Vanity created this life
Now strife is abundant
In my world
Hurled me into darkness
An abyss of absentness
Meaningless happiness
Confessing its inablilities
As we have known
And it has shown
But must we keep prooving it?
We're losing time
With redundant proofs
Of this truth
Time is better spent productively
If ppl could see that
They would be that much happier.

Apprehensions in thoughts may form a labyrinth,
and like a cipher open up to become a plinth
but still the belief beholds to achieve what is imagined,
Though in a fog,the wanderer still feels attuned,
Let it be light or the approaching darkness,
but it isn't a mirage showing its absentness...
The people who waded along aren't lost,
As they too were finding a purpose, when their paths had just crossed
So continue the walk to paint the complete picture,
As like the dreams, the clay of life would build a monumental structure.
