NO ONE KNOWS

No one knows the struggle in my head

The pains and suffering I go through

A friend can only pretend to understand

How much the world evolve around you

The heart is fragile and easily broken

When she is going through a conflicting day

It is frustrating when you are living for nothing

Negative thoughts piercing the mind everyday

Comfort afar off, no one to lend a hand

The little things seems difficult to learn

Life becomes invisible where ever I stand

It is like in the world, I am the only one insane

Maybe if I had painted a picture of a bleeding star

It would have been easier to take away preying eyes?

There will be no one judging my scar

But it is of no use, I am victimized

Please do not have empathy for me

I have got my own share of guilt

Every time I tell a lie, it is because I hated me

Sorry, I never intended to be weak

TRUST JESUS

Trust in Jesus

He is a friend you can rely on

The world maybe full of disappointments

He alone is true to His words

He is not self seeking

Envy of your success

You can count on him to protect you

Through times when the sun is gone

Let no one discourage you

That your problems can not be resolved

Is he not the one who raised Lazarus from the dead?

Who heals the woman in the crowd with an issue of blood? 

He fed five thousand, healed a deaf and mute man

Healed the blind to see, cleanses the ten lepers

He walked on the water

To everyone with infirmity He restored

You have got to give him your whole heart

Let Him lead you through the raging storm

And see if not tomorrow by day light

You will be singing a refreshing new song
