POEM COLLLECTION: LIFE IS A MYSTERY 1. I thought it had all ended Never knew this is just the beginning Everything ‘bout me was wounded/concluded Every thingfdoesnt seem gaining I thought I’d lostthem all Seems the whole world hates me Was like the world wanted to fall That was what and all I could see Nobody seems to like me again I’d turn the bad girl……ooosh I really was driven astray By life and its unfair rush “God help me” I’d cried Amnot asbad as they thought Amonly tryingto be understood But it seems my effort, vain it all turned 2. My heart pants,my soul beats Yes can you hear it,….those leaps Likethough am scared of some whips Oh God,what againis this beat It gives me so much panic and pantings Everytime I wander from your practice Am dead scared,I hate to hurt him But sin and its ways seems so sweet Lord I love you, so much I do But it hurts to see my tender heart Derail fromyour loveandgrace Am such a cheat, forgive me but I am 3. God, please help me I cant just understand myself Oneminute, I feel good, and the next, horrible One minute am smiling and the next, my face is like a rock One moment,amthat confident of myself and the next,and the next,ifeelintimidated One moment I want to talk and the next just want to stay dumb One moment I have a good laugh and the next , a bad cry One moment am joyful and the next am joyless So immediately asi thought on, A shallow whisper blinded my ears “melancholy” Melancholy????, I whisperd in awe…. What could that be Your make up,.. just you There and then, ilearnt two things Ammade to be me, but I have a choice to alter me , positively or negatively: Or to remain just me, living with me and all I am I learnt to appreciate me: that even if I was going to bring someone to bear inme, I should learn to make that external character like me by loving and appreciating the features 4. The flowers glowinthe earlymorningdew The streams gush at the sound of a mighty rush Everywhere seems so hot……,God, this was a hard thought Tears couldn’t just help flowing donmy eyes They arenow damped and soaked Tears, that bitter sweet water Frommyeyes tip, it rolled downtomy cheeks, and ran through my nose to my mouth It wantedmeto have a taste, and that I did….., gush! Bitter, I spat Yes bitter, dats what life seems some times Bitter, bad, cruel,unfair, wicked, and all the negativeblessings I cant just helppouring out that eye water I’d been hurt, so hurt Why me, that was my constant cry If not you, then who? Was theconstant reply I get forthat quest Life’s damn crazy, isn’t it? 5. best friend What a God so awesome, glorious and kind Thought of bringing you so close in mind Just at thevergewheni searched and couldn’t find Your sorrows grew and your heart went behind One moment I saw you walked in Anothermoment, I couldn’t stop looking Oh God, could he bethe one you’ve brought in? Even if he isn’t, I choose to key in This is not a song, its just the words of my heart Our heart are kneaded and the blazes are heated The worldwill ask us and yes we ll tell them That two hearts can also beat as one
