Samson Lee Poem
I'm a pebble in the ocean
I've washed away all my emotion
I'm falling deeper, their surrounding
I'm falling faster, but I'm not drowning
You're a feather in the sky
You were born knowing how to fly
You chased the rainbows all day
But you can't seem to fly away
What's worth more, what your given or what you earn?
Silver platters they tend to burn
You gotta earn it don't take, beause true love ain't fake
Don't look down, your eyes get clouded
Trust me, I know all about it
Just enduring doesn't mean your strong
What's helped you has hurt you all along
I've followed your words like a sinking star
Chasing the horizon that seemed so far
Staying up all night but I still have dreams
My life looks bleak but it ain't what it seems
I'm the feather and your the pebble
I'm flying high and your drowning in trouble
I've always chased your back, but I've been chasing shadows
Because you took your wings for granted and now they're in shackles
Locked up behind the cage in your heart
When the sun went down, your world fell apart
You let hatred consume you, so the darkness now rules you
You can't preach what you don't practice too
Looking back when you tell me to face forward, it's hypocrisy
Your a slave to your own philosophy
When you look too far ahead you lose sight of what's in front
You tried to be perfect but you weren't, if I were to be so blunt
You can't be perfect because your only human
But I don't care because you'll always be my woman
You wanted to be looked at and loved more and more
You wanted what was never given to you before
They looked at you with awe, and wanted you in spite of who you are
I looked at you with passion, and loved you because of who you are
We're each other's wings and we're each other's rocks
Together we'll fly farther and higher than any flocks

Samson Lee Poem
I’m scared of the lies, I’m scared to give away my heart
Cause it’s been broke before and torn apart
I’m scared of the feelings that I’m feeling right now
Cause I can’t be the perfect guy for her, I don’t know how
But most of all I’m scared that I won’t be able to give her the best possible life
The fear of never being good enough constantly eats me alive
Every day I fight my insecurities
But it gets harder when the enemy reminds you of all your impurities
Look in the mirror and see nothing but a failure
I ask myself why I’m alive if I’m letting down my savior
It’s easy to fail by yourself because the only one who loses is you
But when you have a family, you don’t know want to take risks in anything that you do
People tell me I’m worth a lot, but I don’t know if it’s true
I never valued myself and that’s probably why I think she can do better
There’s a voice in my head that screams I’ll never end up with her
I can live with that, as long as she ends up happy
But I can’t live with myself if I never tell her what’s in my heart, even if it’s sappy
Is it love when you do what you think is best, but end up hurting them instead
I ask myself questions like this at night when I lie awake in my bed
Deep into the night, the only thing that keeps me company is a negative thought
But I want to be better, that’s something that I always sought
Even if I can never have her, I’ll keep on growing, emotionally and spiritually
I’m going to keep on fighting my inner demons and develop my mind, not just my body physically
Her eyes are dazzling, her smile is breathtaking, and her heart is beautiful
I can go on and on when I put pen to paper, but she’ll never hear it though
At least not for now, because I’m still too insecure to tell her how I feel
I want to lay the foundation as friends, because my feelings are too real
There’s a lot of negative in my life and I hate myself every day
I know that I made this bed, and in it I must lay
But even though I have hatred and despair in me
At the end of the day, I just want to make everyone happy
I want to bring smiles to people’s faces, not tears
This outlet is just another way for me to face my fears
I want to build something I can be proud of, have something to invite her into
A life where she can be free, and do anything that she wanted to do
I would’ve never grown as much as I have if she was never nice to me
Reaching out to a scared boy, alone in the dark, who couldn’t see
Nervous in a new environment, and confused about what he was learning
My feelings for her grew every day, and for her warmth I was yearning
Thank you for just being who you are
You don’t know how much you changed my life by far

Samson Lee Poem
On the inside staring out
Hearing silence when you try to shout
You move your lips but no one hears a word
Learn what's special to you cause life's a blur
What's important is for someone to decide
Love brings happiness and demise
You said nothing but I heard it in your heart
Your feelings pierced me like a dart
There's more than one way to say I love you
And in that silence you embraced me like only you can do
Don't speak, just look at me
And I'll know all that we can be
I wanna feel it again but your so far away
I tried my best but just couldn't stay
Those who hate the most have loved the most
Seeing how much you loved me makes me wanna boast
Scream it to the world that you love me so
But time was up and it was time for me to go
Thank you for crying for me
Please know that I was happy
You can't hear yourself shouting and screaming
And I can tell you exactly what your lacking
It's the gentleness that defines who you are
The day I died was your worst day by far
I've left this world but apart of me resides in your heart
If your demons take over they'll also tear me apart
I promise you I don't have a single regret
I was the happiest I've ever been, you can bet
Don't hate the world for taking me away
When everyone left, you told me you were here to stay
Those gentle words were enough
So let go of the anger and it won't be so tough
Just remember me every once in a while
When you think of me, try to smile
The world is a beautiful place
And you gotta see it with a smile on your face
So go forth cause I'm always with you
And I'll follow like I always used to

Samson Lee Poem
God, you know who I am, you know me by name
And I know that you know about all of the pain
Your love and warmth are the reasons that I am alive
But right now, the only warmth I feel are from the tears rolling down my eyes
I hate myself and I hate all of my emotions
Especially jealousy and anger, they lead to all my frustrations
I bottle it up because I want to be presentable in your sight
But Lord when altar call happens, I try with all my might
To step forward and give you my heart
But my emotions break me down and I fall apart
I always run away in fear because I’ve always failed to accept myself
Anger and hatred are like poison, hazardous to your health
We’re always too absorbed in ourselves to try to understand one another
But that’s because we’re all humans in nature, not Jesus, our Lord and savior
But I’m just your typical hypocrite
Preaching about empathy yet I fall into the pit
The same cycle of thinking of myself and not those around me
You gave me this as an outlet when I couldn’t see
It’s dark in here, pitch black
I only hear whispers from hatred, he’s whispering behind my back
I turn around, knowing that he’ll attack
But he cut me from the inside, cause that’s where he always is
He tells me God will never accept me and my life is his and only his
But I walk on the path toward God, or at least I think I do
There’s a lot of cages in here but I’m not at the zoo
All of my sins whisper to me because I can only lock them in
I can’t shut them up, just can’t seem to win
It’s always easier to give into the temptation
But I already gave that old life my letter of resignation
Because God you lifted me high and believed in me
That’s why I’ll lock the doors to these cages and throw away the key
What’s the message here you ask
Be who you are at all times, don’t ever wear a mask
God loves you and accepts you no matter what you’ve done
If you keep things to yourself and never tell God anything, the enemy has won
Trust me, you might just cry from church to home in front of your brother
God knows your burdens and bad news, but to him it’s as light as a feather
Give it to him and treat every day like it’s Church
Cause it doesn’t start and stop on Sunday, you always wear the merch
Christian is a lifestyle you chose when you started your walk with Christ
You’re worthy of everything, even that awesome girl you like
So stop wallowing in self-pity and be the champion he made you to be
Just rhyming by the camp fire, based on a true story

Samson Lee Poem
You don’t have to say I love you for someone to know
You think someone means it just cause they say it, no
I’ve tried all my life to find out what love means
I thought it was easy, but trust me, it’s a lot harder than it seems
God gave me the gift, he gave me the ability to write
But that’s hard to do when you’ve lost your sight
I’m not talking about my literal eyes
I lost the ability to see a future without my demise
I see a broken man, with one too many bandages
When you pray for strength, God will give you challenges
You have to overcome them in order to become strong
I thought I had strength, but it turns out I was weak all along
I’m nothing without you Lord, and that’s what really scares me
I sacrifice myself for others all the time, cause it’s my own worth that I can’t see
It’s easy to pretend to be something you’ll never be
When I look back at it now, it’s actually pretty funny
I look in the mirror and laugh at myself
Did I think they would remember me as a friend or as something else
Maybe a hero, someone admirable
But then I realize that word is unfathomable
Cause you can never give what you don’t have
Maybe that’s why no one around me can find happiness or a reason to laugh
I’ve been searching for a reason to even exist
I hope someone relates to the heart I put in this
Been alone my whole life, but not by choice
God’s the only one that’s ever heard my true voice
My fiancée left me for a person I called friend
If my life were a book, after that, it’d say The End
Or maybe not cause I’m still here
But if I ever saw her again, I’d say dear
Thank you for teaching me that all I ever wanted was to feel wanted
At first, when I thought of you, I was only haunted
By the thought of never being good enough
3 years together and you broke up with me over Facebook, man that’s tough
But now I can look back and smile cause we just weren’t right for each other
You’re the reason I value the relationships I have more, why I can call someone my brother
So thank you again, cause you taught me how precious it is to find something genuine
Cause that’s what lasts forever, and if it’s fake well forget it then
I don’t have time or room in my life for fake
I need to be more like you God every moment that I wake
You just read a page from my diary
But don’t think with that, you can ever define me
