For it is my life's rope,
If I let go I will certainly choke,
From the pain in my heart that continues to poke,
And tears that got caught in my throat.

I won't let go as I look down this slope!
Even though all I see are mountains of smoke,
I will not mope, someone once wrote,
By some means, i will cope.

-

I pray,
I ask for strength to face the day,
For faith to push ahead comes what may,
And a kind heart that will always obey.

Humility

Did you see me when I was broken?
When life wouldn't even throw me a token,
When I wished I would have just awoken,
And the words said would have not been spoken.

Did you feel when my heart sank?
When I realised life wasn't just playing a prank,
The times I wished I could've just been frank,
To tell you there's no money in the bank.

Did you know about the struggles I faced?
When life evolved so quickly and I couldnt pick up the pace?
The times I felt disgraced,
Crippled by thoughts of self doubt that I couldn't erase?

So don't talk to me about humility,
When i'm merely showing my ability.
I'm not about to feel guilty,
That i've finally found my tranquility.

-

I know you understand my plight,
Of Just how much I tried to fight,
The eclipse of that dear night,
When love gave me a bite,
And I suddenly saw the light.

It didnt matter how much i fought,
Nor how much I thought,
My heart was caught,
I became a naught,
And before I even realized,
I was love's onslaught.

Your victim,

-

I advise you to beware,
Of the pending fear,
To just do or dare,
Act like you just don't care.

You can sit and you can stare,
Just be there looking in the air,
Or you can refuse to shed a tear,
Your make up not to smear.

Just face the unknown,
Like a Queen on her throne,
With your confidence untorn,
Make the day your own,
And not act like it is a loan.

Reciprocity

I care for people every day,
I'm always there, comes what may,
But today, I have something to say,
My true feelings I will relay.

Oh that the day would come!
That beautiful son of a gun!
When I too will be loved,
When someone finally puts me above.

Care for my needs!
With sweet little deeds.
Water my seeds!
That's all my heart ever pleads.

Emotional Turmoil

Lord! Please help me!
For the struggles of life constantly pelt me,
And ceaseless tears try to melt me.

Oh Lord! Please save ME!
From the floods of despair that won't let me be.
Whose waters have risen to my knee.
And a better tomorrow I cannot see.

Oh Lord! Please hear my plea!
This cannot be my cup of tea!
I have no other hope but THEE.

-

With this ring I thee wed,
But there is just so much left to be said,
As we lay here on this bed,
My heart feels like it's turning red.

So tell me, on this beautiful spread,
What's going on inside your head?
All those tears that are left unshed...
And the thoughts that make you feel dread..

Speak my love, and I will listen,
Your true emotions I want to christen,
Because for you, I am smitten,
Because of you, I'm here loveridden.

-

that negative thoughts are my kryptonite,
They render me powerless!
But if i'm able to push them away,
90% of the battle is already won,
With only 10% depending on physical execution.

-

Without you i'm torn,
Like raindrops falling from clouds that perpetually mourn.
Without you, I'm a mess,
Like a ship during a tempest.

This Is hard to digest,
If only i could find the zest,
To continue to do my best,
And just leave the rest.

For if I look in the rearview mirror of my mind,
There I will only find,
A love that was of the rarest kind...
Two hearts that were perfectly aligned..
But of which I was totally blind.
