The mask

-
The mask that I have to wear
The concealed task of covers
The look to all that is dear
The confident guise always appears
Crushed by the reality
Like never before,
Dreams lose their meaning
Falling a thousand pieces on the floor.
Words fade out
Ink pauses in such times
Time pass out
Pushing your effort into faint lines
A look in the mirror
Is this really me
The mask is off, yes
But who else could it be
I barely recognize
My own pair of eyes
But I used to be alive
It is only now that I realize
There was a day that I was free
The days that I could be me
Reality has stolen the light
Giving me the mask to pretend
Gone is the shine in my sight
Giving me the task to depend
Lying on the bed I’m crying
My tear soaked pillow will testify
Standing on the street my faith is dying
But they pause, look then pass me by
How can I stay focus day in day out
When I’m heavily drowning in doubt
When the mask fails to blind me to distrust
Behind the confident guise of a smile
Is a broken girl trying to cope in 
And make life worth while
But as for the mask when will my face actually grow a permanent one of a smile?
My lines are not written , they are crafted .

Patience

Why do people marry and soon get divorced?Because they are not patient to study their partners. Why do people hasten to tie what they cannot untie?Because they are not always patient to wait for their time to come. In everything that we do,patience must be a key factor.Without patience,we cannot achieve anything in life. Success is a journey with a long winding road.It takes patience to reach success,thereafter,it grows like a crop. Let us not let the testimonies of others push us to do something that we will regret at the end.The adage that says "wealth hastily gotten dwindles but he who gathers little by little develops it" is not said for nothing According to Sir Winston Spencer Churchill,"Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others".Perhaps your time hasn't yet come but that of someone you know and even better than has come,continue to be patient. Patience is the magic key.It unlocks all things in time. Hasten t...

Depression

   It doesn't matter whatever it is that is getting you depressed. Neither does it matter the form/type of depression you are going through. All you have to do is to ask yourself a few questions. 1. Do I have pain in me? 2. Have I offended someone? 3. What are the thoughts I have about those close to me? When you are done asking yourself those questions, you then psych your mind in a positive manner so you can overcome those negetive things which were going through your mind that got you depressed. Declear to yourself that you are an overcomer of DEPRESSION and your life will be long on earth.

Worship

The Bible make us understand that the Angels and Elders in Heaven always bow to worship the King of all Kings. The underlined word here is BOW . Worship is a spiritual connection and conversation between God and man through which man exalts God. What do we see in today's Christianity? People worship God depending on the mood in which they find themselves. When he/she is angry, there is a way he/she worships and when they are happy also, there is a different mood for worship. That is an insult to God and Heaven. The Bible says, we should be thankful at all times. Why can't we just let go all our troubles and give our hearts to God in times of worship?. We normally see arms being folded and hands in pockets during worship hours and that also is an Insult to God and Heaven. The lifting of hands and bowing of hearts during times of worship is what God wants from us. And to you Mr. Instrumentalist, it's not just about playing. Get involved in the worship. The spiri...
