SAVING FOR LOVE

I was nervous 

When I learned the heart can be forsaken

My feeling got locked inside

Scared of having a heart attack

Then you walked into my life

Stole my feelings away

I almost ran out of breath

For you are out of my league

Wish I had met you a long time ago

The nightmare would not creep into my mind

To ensure we have the best of relationship

Please, consent no secret between us

If there is a smokescreen in my heart

Yet you choose to stick around

I will start saving for love

To buy all the happiness you desire

THE FEELINGS IN MY HEART

I tried to discern my heart

But she broke away into the sky

Yet never came back

Then life became blank

I look through the silver screen

Maybe I can find a way to fix this

But my feelings begin to get hurt

I cannot tell the difference

It seems I am living a life from the past

Where the world detested me

But why should I carry such a burden 

The weight of an ill-fated world

There is a lot of things I never had

No father to hug and nurture me

Nor mother to kiss and care for me

Not a privilege to chase after my dream

Do not attempt to cram my head with your sermon

There is a lot of things about me you never knew

There is a void weighing down my heart

The older I fetch, the pain is severe

The memories in my head start to hurt

I cannot pull myself together

Wish I have someone to cradle my hands

Maybe the heart will smile again

I BELIEVE

We are all aware the world is changing

Life will never be the same again

The world is contagious

Humankind is futile

Everywhere I walk, hope is deserted

Like falling stars, dreams are dying

The virus is threatening human existence

Insecurity embraced into our homes

It is a huge difference between life and death

Wish I could press play for the world to reset

Diseases would not steal our hope away

Tears will not reside in our land

You may not notice it yet

However, God designed the world to be distinct

If but man is remorseful and repent his ways

The plague will be purged
