This World

When was the last time people walked out in the morning,
Without fearing that by night they will be mourning,
Someone they love with all of their heart,
But by then they would be torn apart?

What have we become today?
Us, the ones who prudly say,
"Look, we're touching the realms of a star!"
While a mother cries over the body of her son, not far.

How is it that people take for granted, unguilty,
The things that others wage wars over daily?
When will this world stand up from the grave,
It's digging for itself with the bones of the brave?

Our "democracy" is a one-man-show,
When was the last time he gave us hope?
To find a saviour is what we need,
And to listen to our hearts, that voice to heed.

Thank Me

"Thank you for talking to me whenever I needed,
I'd call out to you, and you always heeded.
Thank you for comforting me when I was weeping,
You held my heart, and it had safe keeping."

"Thank you for helping me overcome my fears,
You walked me through all of my tears.
Thank you for listening to all of my complaints,
You listened patiently and took away the pain."

"Thank you for hearing me talk about him,
You said I'd be happy, though my chances were slim."
These are the words that should be coming out of your mouth,
But all I wanna know is, where the hell are you now?

Night Fall

As I lay down to sleep,

I think about how, this life i can keep,

Away from sin and treacherous lies,

Which my conscience they defy.

To undo my wrongs is impossible for me,

But redo my rights I will, this you will see.

Trying to bring my soul to how it was once,

A long time ago, when I was given my first chance.

I'm the only one who can save me from pain,

No sum of money can help me to gain,

Because I'm not asking for something that's easy to get,

Staying in silence is now my safest bet.

My eyes are closed, but my mind is running,

I need something to stop me from doing

What's wrong to people i don't want to hurt,

And give myself a brand new birth.

The morning will come, and i'll forget the night,

Because I pray to God to give me the might

To hold myself back from the darkness of sin,

To wipe away how evil I've been.

Never Free

I've been pushed aside, made to crawl,
But I get up again and stand up tall.
Conquering my fear of walking alone,
I'm running towards the light that shone.

I'm looking for what i cannot find,
Something to help me with my wild-hearted mind.
To tame the flaming rage within.
Before it erupts and makes me sin.

"Will I find that thing?" I ask myself,
"or will it remain on that unreachable shelf?"
"Keep searching," is what my soul answers me,
"There's nothing else you can do; without it you're never free."

Hard Rain

My body’s cold, my face dripping,
With no one around, my fear is gripping.
Taking me down, to the depths of sadness,
My soul is torn by thoughts of madness.

The rain pours on, with no end in sight,
I brace myself, get ready to fight.
The feeling of sorrow that’s filling my mind,
And replace it with joy, if that I can find.

I walk alone, with no light to guide,
I feel the water brush by my side.
I stumble and fall, in the mud and dirt,
I rise up again, not shaken, unhurt.

With no one to talk to, no one to share,
No one to love, and my burdens to bear,
I force myself to wash away the pain,
And make peace with the cold, hard rain.
