Who I Am

Some ask themselves who I am 
The answer of who I am is that
Am not defined by glamorous and glitz
For those who vanish, for I am 
My own true reflection to the world 
And I shall remain to be me, true to myself
So no told and rumuors can tarnish me
For I am a lady whose beauty does not fade
With the wind neither does washed away by tears
Because beyond the shiny melamine  
Lies infinite layers of hope not dope
For I will not tap because that’s me
As I can say what I feel, because those who mind 
Don’t matter and those who matter doesn’t mind
 So who are you?

Story of Love Ending

STORY OF LOVE ENDING
Love can be a sad story
Because of its bad endings
As everything will be history
Only discussing up past happy beginnings

Love is sometimes difficult
Because of that unbearable left cut
That needs serious mending
As a results of surprised ending
Sometimes when love ends is like a boat sinking
Because of too much deep thinking
And where you will feel like a fool
As everything seems right but not cool
Unexpected love endings needs love insurance
As a guarantee for love assurance
So that one can be sure 
That indeed I am insured

When love ends, we are left heart broken
As we cannot cope with the echoes of word spoken
As everything slowly and slowly dies because of lies
But we will give hope to ourselves that we are not the first
As it has been there and always exist

Yes that the story of ending love
Where your heart will feel that empty hole
Feeling like you are bitten by a shark 
Because they will be no that love spark 
But all working together for peace
Piece by piece.

Hear My Cry Lrd

Oh! Lord hear my cry
As to you I fearfully come
But boldly I know
That I will overcome
For you are in control
Even if I roll and cry
In everything I try
God help me to understand
As I eagerly stand like an ant
To walk in your ways and always
Because fearfully I seek your face
Help me to keep that slow pace
So that I can reach high places
As I go preach your word

God give me a guiding rod
Prepare my new road
So that your word I read 
Stick in my heart forever and always
As I walk in your righteous ways
For you are the only one
That guides us from sunrise to sunset

Set a pace for me Lord of Lords
And break all covenant cords
That I may have entered with the devil 
So that I do no more evil
Let your spirit lead me 
So that your word I can read
To abide in me forever and ever.
