It's further alone
being in a screaming crowd
than solitary...

i am accompanied by my polar opposite
i do not know why, but she is meant for me
if my smile was in the middle of a forest
a maze would be erased immediately
if my self esteem was in a cooking pot
not one bubble could expose the steam or the heat created
if my worth was on a cliff
it would stay stock still and forget the meaning of 'jump' or 'how high'
if my completeness was voyage to the end of the rainbow
the radiant aura of her presence would be God's Blessing In Diamond Studded
i am accompanied by my polar opposite
i will never try to comprehend, for it is my pleasure to lover her without question

Lonely Walk Accompanied
I walk the streets alone yet you're here
The eyes of you are upon me yet I can't see
Come away with me please
I walk the streets alone yet you're here
You are not a shadow
Yet you say I matter
I walk the streets alone yet you're here
The eyes of you are upon me yet I can't see

Dark clouds accompanied by blue sky.
I lifted my eyes high
Then I saw a blue sky
Black clouds drifted across slowly
she awakened my heart sorrowfully
She stopped to say sorry
As she released drops of blood
Where I stood became gory
It gradually turned flood
Holding me to ground firmly.
When I woke up,
It was midnight
I looked left, up
Upon turning right,
I lost sight
Her disappearance brought me light
When I opened my eyes,
She has taken that bone of mine.
She thawed the Ice
As she sent chills down my spine.
I moved out searching for her
But I saw white clouds shading the sky
The I passionately asked why
She then turned and said bye
I cried and still cry
I cry I cry
I was filled with sorrow
I became very hollow,
As I watch her go
I wished I could follow,
Fight her and bring back what she took
But I couldn't trace the path
She catch the wrong fish with the right hook
My world she hath
I had to face tomorrow
Though I was blue.
So If you told, yes it is true.

Thank you Lord for walking with me
Through the shadowed vales and valleys,
Holding when I blindly stumble
Until flagging spirit rallies.
When you take the larger burden
Relieving me of its great heft;
You ask only that I carry
The modest portion that is left
Now that I’ve survived the danger
And have now safely swum to shore,
I know big waves would have swamped me
Had you not lifted me once more.

Thanks to Him for staying with me
Through the river, vale and valley.
He holds me so tenderly,
While my flagging spirits rally.
Through the river, vale and valley
I am never on my own.
While my flagging spirits rally,
I am not walking all alone.
I am never on my own.
My Lord keeps me safe and warm.
I am not walking all alone
And He protects me from all harm.
My Lord keeps me safe and warm.
I swim safely to the shore
And He protects me from all harm
As He carries me once more.
I swim safely to the shore.
He holds me so tenderly
As he carries me once more.
Thanks to Him for staying with me.
Placed 6th
