YoU nEvEr KnEw Me...TiLl nOw So i'm not a real live poet , i just write poems to express my feelings and this is how i feel about stuff i guess...but i know they arent that goood... My Prayer I could have never gave what you had to give You gave your life so us sinners would live Now I’m standing here just looking at you Your looking at me I don’t know what to do It’s judgment time and I’m filled with disgrace But when I look up I see your beautiful face And I realize life isn’t what it seems I’m being penalized but it feels like a dream I can’t stand for loner my knees are week I can’t speak for longer I’m feeling meek Everything I’ve done wasn’t for you It was all for me I enjoyed it to But now I’m caught up with all my shame And I’m on the ground feeling so much pain At these times I can’t help but be in awe of you But then it’s back to normal in the next weak or 2 But Lord that’s not the real me I am who you created me to be I try my best to be all that I can Be tough and take a stand I may look strong, but inside I’m week I want you to be all that I seek I want to lift my hands up and give my life I want to live for you without all this strife Lord please just hear my prayer Talk to me and show me you care You’re all I want and all I need I will follow and you will lead Just take my life as a living sacrifice And remember this I would die for you Christ Blind All these hypocrites thinking their worthy Inside they’re week but just act happy Walking around thinking they’re better than the rest But now realizing they are truly blessed Acting fake, thinking they’re too good Not feeling guilty, they never would Teasing and making others frown Thinking they deserve a crown Everyone’s equal and deserves attention But they gossip not noticing their reflection Still I was so blind as to see All of this pointing back at me Why don’t you Why don’t you try life out in someone else shoe’s? Why don’t you be the one to look at your daughter and break the news? Why don’t you stay up all night thinking ‘did he hurt her’? Why don’t you be the one to wake up to yelling and your visions a blur? Why don’t you be the one praying to God for a different life? Why don’t you be the one suffering temptation to grab the knife? Why don’t you understand? Why don’t you be a man? I appreciate the life that you’ve given me But that doesn’t mean you make my life happy And still through all this I do love you You’re so blind to the fact you never knew You can do so much just stop sinking so low Why don’t you be the one sitting in your room with nowhere to go? Silent Tears Look at me I see my reflection in the mirror As I keep looking down my face runs a tear Just wanting to be pretty like all the other girls With big blue eyes and blonde straightened curls Crying myself to sleep has become my profession Praying to God that I would become a perfection Wishing that I could be everything to everyone As I deal with rejection watch me turn away and run Addicted to beauty is how the world lives Ridiculed, shot down, but I still learn to forgive I try so hard to keep a smile on my face But only I know its fake, only I’m a disgrace Trust in God Life is complicated we already know It’s true what they say you reap what you sow But don’t you worry everything will work out Just trust in God and have no doubt You are unique in your own way Keep on smiling everything will be okay He died for you, you can risk your life for him Keep shining bright don’t let your light go dim I know what you can do, so do your best No matter what you think, you are truly blessed Already Gone As I watch the clock, I slowly think Its now or never, I swim or sink I try so hard but always get let down That’s why my face is always cursed with a frown I try to smile, but its just to tough When should I know what is enough? I pray to God to make everything right What am I suppose to see when there’s nothing in sight It’s the same thing happening, it goes on and on I keep on trying but I’m already gone I’m always putting myself down and feeling like a disgrace All I have now is a broken heart in the wrong place So stop me now, I’m out of control I only have these tears and an empty soul Invisible Why did I think someone like you? Would ever like someone like me Why did I think that you’d stay true? And that you’d make my life happy Why did I think I was visible? When in reality I’m not Why do I have this label? Why won’t you ever be taught? That personality does matter It’s not always about looks Although looks do flatter Personality is what hooks I’m saying this simply because I know I am no beauty queen That doesn’t matter -what does? I won’t know –until I’m seen My Life My life never seems to go my way I always seem to run out of things to say Life at home is completely wrong It’s like a broken record, playing the same song So many people, but who can you trust? All this drama, can not be just But when I look up, I get a sweet reminder God gives me strength and makes me a fighter He gets me through the easy and the tough He shows me exactly what is enough He is my rock and my salvation He gives me guidance and concentration He’s the one who keeps this smile on my face He’s the reason why I’m not a disgrace ThIs WoULd Be So mUcH eAsiEr If YoU wErEnT sO pErFeCt
