Why don’t you like me?

Why don’t you like me?

Is it because I cry

Too much and too often

And you wonder why?


Why don’t you like me?

Is it because I’m too raw

And being with me isn’t easy

And you didn’t like what you saw?


Why don’t you like me?

Is it because I can be cold

To protect my heart from being hurt again

Despite what I’ve been told?


Why don’t you like me?

Is it because of how I feel,

The way I think about things

And with my sensitivity you can’t deal?


It hurts to be taken for granted.

It hurts to like and not be liked back.

It hurts when I have to hide the real me

Because the fake me has a better chance.


Maybe I won’t get the answers

To the questions which I ask.

Yet I know God will love me

Even when I take off the mask.

They always say…

They always say…

It’ll be okay.

They always say…

Bad things won’t stay.

What if it’ll never be okay?

What if bad things always stay?

What if there isn’t a happy ending?

What if there isn’t always mending?

What if some things never change?

What if pain goes beyond the range?

Some things in life are broken.

Some things are better left unspoken.

This isn’t an escape.

This isn’t an excuse.

This is acknowledgement

To avoid self-abuse.

One day though, God will wipe away my tears [Revelation 21:4].

On that day I can truly leave behind my fears.

Waiting

She waits everyday… from dawn to dusk…

She waits everyday… with no luck…

She waits everyday… years go by…

She waits everyday… at times wondering why…

 

“Do you not grow tired of waiting?” they ask…

Yet she waits everyday… heart set on the task…

There are days when she stumbles, days when she falls…

Yet she rises each time, standing strong and tall…

 

One day she will find

The exact plan God had in mind…

For He has made everything

beautiful in its time (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

 

 

Alone

There is a certain coldness

That heat can’t melt away.

There is a certain aloneness

Since nobody chooses to stay.

Thoughts come and go

Time just passes by.

I don’t no what to do so

I just lie here and cry.

If I try to explain

It doesn’t make any sense.

To those who don’t know this pain

It’s just a bunch of nonsense.

I’m not sure if I will ever find

Someone who can truly love me…

After seeing my wounds and hurts and mind…

And still love what they see.

This is just a feeling, I know I’m loved

By the one who created the stars above…

By those who I call family and friends…

Their love for me will never end.

Is it really that hard?

Here I sit, far away…

Wondering if anyone would ever stay…

When things get real and life gets rough…

When everything in life seems tough.

Is it really that hard to hold my hand?

Is it really that hard… with me to stand?

Why is it always someone else who occupies the heart?

Will I ever get an opportunity… to even start?

Yet, this I believe, that God has a plan…

Above every possible imagination of man (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Someday He will let me see…

What He really wanted me to be.

Midnight Light

I wait here standing in the night…

Searching for a glimmer of light.

In every direction I try to find…

A shadow… formed from light of some kind.

 

Why am I here… my heart repeats…

Why does my heart even beat?

Is there something more to this life…

Than the pursuit of happiness… and strife?

 

As I search for answers… the stars emerge…

And I feel my hope surge.

You are the way, the truth, the life, the light (John 14:6, John 8:12)

Like stars glimmering in the midnight.

The story unfolds…

When you are…

When you are lost

and when you feel afraid…

Remember that you were fearfully

and wonderfully made. [Psalms 139:14]

 

When you feel numb

and everything is slipping like sand…

Remember that you

are engraved on God’s hands. [Isaiah 49:15-16]

 

When you feel lonely

and when you feel betrayed…

Remember that God will never forsake you…

and with you, He will always stay… [Deuteronomy 31:6]

 

When you feel tired

and you have tried your best…

Bring your burden to Him

for He will give you rest. [Matthew 11:28-29]

 

When you feel that you are not good enough

or that you have guilt you can’t be free of…

Remember that God died for you

Because of His everlasting love. [John 3:16]

The Truth of Life

Life can seem weary…

Life can seem lonely…

Life can seem incomplete…

After all… you wanted something small only…

 

You are loyal…

You are strong…

You don’t understand what is wrong…

 

So you search and you try…

And you wonder why…

You can’t get the harmless desire of your heart…

 

Have faith, you will get there…

One day you will receive

Something that will fill your heart

And bring you peace…

 

Till then, life can be unfair…

At all times… you will have to be prepared…

Never give up on having faith

That one day… it will all be okay… [Revelation 21:3-5]

Treasure

1280x800-jarsclay

You set Your treasures in jars of clay

Hoping they would never break… and always stay…

You only give and never take…

And You believe that the jars will never break…

 

You trust us and forgive us each time

Although, probably we wouldn’t have given a dime…

Give us the grace to forgive and forget…

When the jars break (in which we had our treasures set)…

 

Make the jars of clay stronger

So that they can last forever… or at least longer…

And always give us the courage to try

And never let our hope die…
