I DON'T

I don't know how to say I love you

For I keep breaking my promises

I asked myself a thousand reasons

But couldn't find the right answer why

I couldn't leave in a world without you, for a part of me will die

The clouds can't fill up the feelings I have for you

Without you the world anymore wouldn't be beautiful

A touch of you is spilled on every portion in my heart

I could feel my heart burning eternity for you inside

The roses you planted in my heart will always remain blue

If for a reason we live in a world without light

Your smile will light up my whole feelings inside

Like a stream my emotions can never run dry

I can never love anyone else as close to how much I love you

It doesn't matter how much I try not to, I will still be in love with you

I wish I can turn the hand of time right now

Kiss your lips till the flowers in my heart run wide

I can never make up for the joy you filled in my life

I can never love you back equally for your love is divine

But carve in my heart your name so you'll forever stay in my life

DEAR GOD

I come to you as the weaker version of me

For long my heart has been fragile

It couldn't hold on to your words

You watch over me through the clouds everyday

Your blessings I see as many as the stars each day

When life was hard, you wiped away the tears when I am sad

I am sorry I didn't believe and trust in my life your will

I got carried away by the lust of an unjust world

I was looking for a crown to cover my shortcomings

Please, help me Lord to overcome my fears

Give me courage to confront the challenges of life

Water the seeds you planted in me and cause them to grow

Use me as a vessel to uplift the broken hearten

Because of you my joy is always rising

I am grateful you loved me despite the imperfection in me

I will give everything I've got to your glory

Thank you for bringing out the best in me

I DON'T BELIEVE

I don't believe I can't make it if it doesn't rain

I don't believe in life there is no gain

I don't believe I can't find true love

For God is watching over me from heaven above

I don't believe you and I are not meant to be

I don't believe in life there is no remedy

I don't believe tears can't wipe away our pain

For if you don’t work hard in life, success you can not attain

I don't believe the sun can be stopped from shining

I don't believe the world can stop me from dreaming

I don't believe I can someday loose a smile

For every time the sun is out, she blessed me with her smile

I don't believe breakups can necessary end a relationship

I don't believe in failures, not when I have breath in me

I don't believe I can't write myself a story

For when God made man, He blessed him with His kiss and glory

I don't believe I can be lonely with a scar

I don't believe the clouds would one day be without a star

I don't believe in circumstances, for we can create our own luck

For the world is huge, everything a man needs he can make up

I don't believe you are not special

I don't believe in a war there is no survival

I don't believe every child don't have a father

For there is something about you which makes the world brighter
