Poems, thoughts, songs

I know that telling you to
"get over it" is cruel,
and I am sorry that I have to
hurt you like this,

but I'm telling you the truth
of the situation so that we aren't just
delusional about things.

I was angry at you because,
I feel like you're leading me on.
I can't be there for you,
but I'm sure someone else already is,
and that's what makes me so mad,
that you would put me through this,
it hurts me because I'm trying to let you go.

I didn't know you then,
but at least we got to see each other one time,

I love you.
I'm just being honest with you.
Even though I want to see you again,
It's my choice,
nothing is holding me back but me.

I wish I could trust you,
I wish I could have been stronger.
I wish I could have been more brave.
I wish a lot of things..

What Have We Become
Lyrics by DC Talk

A preacher shuns his brother















With selfish goals,
Selfish people
When you gonna learn?
Everyone of us
Gathered 'round in trust

What have we become?​

Colored People
lyrics by DC Talk

Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir
I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin
I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement
Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin

We've gotta come together
And thank the Maker of us all

We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace

(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)

A piece of canvas is only the beginning for
It takes on character with every loving stroke
This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist's heart
By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope

We've gotta come together,
Aren't we all human after all?

We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace

Ignorance has wronged some races
And vengeance is the Lord's
If we aspire to share this space
Repentance is the cure

(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)

Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man
Should make it easy for you to see
That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones
As a part of our anatomy

We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place
We're colored people, and they call us the human race
We've got a history so full of mistakes
And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace

We're colored people, and they call us the human race
(Oh, colored people)
We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space
(Yeah we've got to come together somehow)
We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world
(Red and yellow, black and white)
We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl
(Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah)​

Midnight Cry
Chuck Day and Greg Day

I hear the sound of a mighty rushing wind
And it's closer now than its ever been
I can almost hear the trumpet
As Gabriel sounds the call
At the midnight cry we'll be going home

When Jesus steps out
On a cloud and calls God's children the dead in
Christ shall rise to meet him
In the air

And then those that remain
Will be quickly changed
At the midnight cry (at the midnight cry)
When Jesus comes again

I look around me and the prophecies fulfilling
And signs of the times their appearing everywhere
I can almost hear the Father
As He says son go get my children
At the midnight cry
The bride of Christ shall rise

When Jesus steps out
On a cloud and calls God's children the dead in
Christ shall rise to meet him
In the air

And then those that remain
Will be quickly changed
At the midnight cry (at the midnight cry)
When Jesus comes again

And then those that remain will be quickly changed
At the midnight cry (at the midnight cry)
When Jesus comes again

At the midnight cry (at the midnight cry)
When Jesus comes again
When Jesus comes again​

1 Corinthians 13

"Love is patient,
love is kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.

Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies,
they will cease;
where there are tongues,
they will be stilled;
where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
When I was a child, I talked like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I put the ways of childhood behind me.
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;
then we shall see face to face.
Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.


And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love."​

Head Over Heels
Lyrics by Tears for Fears

I wanted to be with you alone
And talk about the weather
But traditions I can trace against the child in your face
Won't escape my attention

You keep your distance with a system of touch
And gentle persuasion
I'm lost in admiration, could I need you this much?
Oh, you're wasting my time
You're just, just, just wasting time

...


I made a fire and watching it burn
Thought of your future
With one foot in the past, now, just how long will it last?
No, no, no, have you no ambition?

My mother and my brothers used to breathe in clean in air
And dreaming I'm a doctor
It's hard to be a girl when there's a gun in your hand
Oh, I - feel - so

Something happens and I'm head over heels,
I never find out until I'm head over heels,
Something happens and I'm head over heels,
don't take my heart,
don't break my heart,
don't throw it away.
​

I Lost
by me

I lost you in the winter storm,
while walking upon the unfounded bridge
that lay over the turmoil of the sea.
As unforgiving as the waves,
and cruel as the moon's pull,
your heart is the ice that burns me.

She's so beautiful and adorned with glowing regalia
of the most beautiful white and pearls,
and your ring fits her perfect fingers,
you're ready to make a scene,
but why do you keep looking back at me?

I lost you in the hurricane,
while the detour was covered I could
never get through the clutter of your demons and debris.
Remember. That when you are done,
that you are done with me.

I love you,
but I want you to be happy,
you don't have to chose.
If she can be there for you,
I will choose to lose.

So let my arm go.
Please don't make it look like
you still want me,
let me walk out of those doors.

I don't really want to see,
just want to walk away from you,
because losing, it's hurting me,
but I just want you to be happy.

I'm happy for you.
So be happy​

Don't Go..
by me

I know that it's over,
but I don't want you to leave,
I know that this love isn't sufficient
to satisfy all your needs.

Maybe there is nothing that
I could say to ever make you stay,
maybe this love was made to fail,
but I'm gonna say what I'm
going to say.

I don't want you to go.
I want you to stay.
Even though I can't explain,
I know that you feel the same way.

I don't know how or if things
would ever work out,
but I know that I've been miserable
without.

don't go..

-end-
