INSIDE OUT

© Angie Flores Outside lives a girl with a smile that will brighten up the room, yet inside hides a girl with a frown full of despair. Outside lives a girl with eyes of joy that brings you to ease, yet inside hides a girl shedding tears of sadness. Outside lives a girl with a beautiful laugh that’s contagious, yet inside hides a girl screaming her lungs out in unwanted anger. Outside lives a girl with the personality everyone envies, yet inside hides a girl full of insecurities and shame. Outside lives a girl who is fearless and tough, yet inside hides a weak girl who lives in fear. Outside lives a girl full of life, yet inside hides a girl full of pain, wanting to die. Outside lives a girl with a perfect image, yet inside hides a girl with regrets and mistakes. Outside lives a girl of innocence, yet inside hides a girl with tremendous guilt. Outside lives a girl with goals and aspirations, yet inside lives a girl lost in confusion. What you ...

WOULD YOU STILL CATCH ME IF I FALL?

Me © Sabrina Can’t you see The pain in my eyes? But this is me And my life. If you hold me close You can hear my heart It cries more than most From being torn apart. After every breath I take, After every fight I witness, I ask “why must I awake?” Will I ever conquer forgiveness? Can you ever truly Forgive without forgetting? I am lonely. My life I am abandoning. From pain I am running. Even though these tears are streaming I will never look back. All in all, I have one question to ask. Would you still catch me if I fall? Maybe one day you will see. This is how I live, And this is me.

STAND IN FAITH

Stand in faith Even when you can’t see your way Stand in faith Even when you feel like you can’t face another day Stand in faith Even when the tears want to flow from your eyes Stand in faith Knowing that our God will always provide Stand in faith Even when you feel that all hope is gone Stand in faith Knowing that He is always there for you to lean on Stand in faith Even when you feel like giving up Stand in faith Because He is there … saying, “Just look up” Stand in faith Even in those times you feel so all alone Stand in faith Hold on and be strong, for He is still on the throne Stand in faith Even when it’s hard to believe Stand in Faith Knowing that He can change your situation, suddenly Stand in faith Even in those times you feel it’s hard to pray Stand in faith And believe that He has already made the way Faith … is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen So stand in f...

TRUST HIM

Life ,they say is full of ups and downs. N God ,they say is good.But sometimes I wonder y somethings happen to me. Donno if you’ve ever felt that God doesn’t even have time to listen to u?,↓ Sometimes, u pray n feel like God doesn’t answer. Have you ever thought that God only answers just a set of people’s prayers? Felt like God doesn’t even know you exist? ■ Ever wondered y u lost a relation or friend, y ur family is maybe constantly broke, y the people u look up to always disappoint u, y u always feel inferior in the midst of others, y n y many things u don’t like always happen to u? ..hmm. Yh , me too. but I’ve just got one answer to all these questions. `》》》God, truly is Good. n He’ll never do anything to hurt you. I’ve come to understand that he’s ways aren’t human ways at all. He’s sovereign. You’ve just got to learn to be patient and let Go...

MY CHRISTMAS LESSON

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given..." Isaiah 9:6 "For God So loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son..." John 3:16 Christmas is the season of the celebration of the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. The birth of Jesus signifies above all things the wisdom of God. God wanted so badly to reconcile with you and I; he craved for an eternal fellowship with man. God knew how important man was and how essential it was to have men recognize Him as their father. Man was like a sheep without any shepherd, he was like an orphan with no one to care for. God wanted so much to be man’s Shepherd, Father and All in All. But you might wonder why God didn’t just automatically turn the hearts of men to Himself, after all He is the creator, He could have just used His power. I mean, that is what I would have done if I were God. I created them so I have total power and control over them, I wouldn’t have sent my only begotten Son to suffer and die. ...

No more

No More Excuses Humans love to blame others for their failures. Children blame their parents for their failures; they’ll say ‘If only my parents had sent me to a better school, I’d have become successful’. The fact is, you don’t need to attend the best school to become the best in life. The type of school you attend shouldn’t be an excuse for your failure, because there are successful people who didn’t even attend any schools. Some parents too blame peers for their children’s delinquencies. ‘My child is disobedient because of a friend of his’. Why should you blame another child for your child’s bad attitudes? You are the parent; it is your duty to ‘train your child in way he should go’. So instead of blaming someone else’s child, check yourself and how well you are performing your duties. “I’m a good man but I behave badly because my wife irritates me” with due respect sir, that is ...

Nostalgia

Way back in primary school

HOLD ON

I almost gave up, thinking I couldn’t take life anymore, but I heard a voice telling me to be still. There’ve been days when I fell so sick, so sick that I felt like it was the end. So sick that I wondered why I was brought to this earth in the first place. So sick that I couldn’t breathe, so sick I was ready to give up but He told me to hang on. There’ve been days when depression weighed me down. I felt I had no reason to be happy. I felt that life wasn’t working as it should. I felt like I had had enough of life, family and friends. I felt like dying (if only dying was the solution to depression). I felt so out of this world. I began to wonder if someone was really up there or whether I was the one being so insane to think that there was a big man living in the sky and controlling the earth. Because if there was really someone up there, all these bad things wouldn’t have happened. She wouldn’t have died, I wouldn’t have had a blocked chest….. She wouldn’t have died just like that...

HOW THICK IS THIS BLOOD

HOW THICK IS THIS BLOOD? This is one question that has been on my mind for a very long time. People say “blood is thicker than water”, but I’ve been wondering: how thick? Does this question sound stupid? Well, nevertheless, I need an answer. How thick is blood?  It looks and feels thick, but is it? I mean how thick is blood that Cain was able to murder his brother Abel; that Tamar was raped by her “brother”; that his parents named him “Jabez”; that babies are dumped in gutters; that fathers rape their daughters; that siblings kill one another over probably, landed property or money? How thick is this blood that makes members of the same family do unspeakable things to one another? How thick is this blood that makes your relatives, so called aunts, uncles and cousins forget that you exist? I guess everyone is too busy and engrossed in their business to think or even care for any other person. So you see, they feel and look thick but are in fact empty, as good as useless...

UGLY WORDS

A MUST READ! Words with such ugly meanings do not belong in the everyday conversation. Contrary to popular belief you can live another day without disgusting proclamations. ... In what way is saying, "That girl's hot as sh*t" a compliment? These words are not to be used frivolously like so many condiments. A dashing here, and a dashing there. What am I, Emeril Lagasse, saying BAM! for flair? They are not rays of sunshine popping out of the clear blue sky. Nor are they functioning wings that make you soar high. I know in truth most don't care; F-this and f-that, I mean really, what are you trying to get at? If it's just a personality trait then I guess I'm stuck at a locked gate. I'm not trying to pick a lock, this is truly just how I talk. ... for sure not attempting to spread hate, I just find it all quite unappealing. Is it too much to ask to measure up your words with how you're actually feeling? — at Obafemi Awolo...

THE BEAUTIFUL ONES

  I’ve not read the book But I feel it’s true- “The beautiful ones are not yet born”. Or have they, And weren’t found ? Did they die in the womb? Were they aborted or still born? Or are they like Robinson Crusoe,   Lost in a lonely Island Where no one can find them? Or are we the ones Too blind to see them Too insensitive to feel them Too deaf to hear their sweet voices Deafen by voices   Too loud and meaningless Some call it hip-hop, I call it noise!   In my dream I heard their voices Gentle and firm Always speaking the truth No hatred in them Not like racists Not like rapists Not like robbers Not like” politricians” . The voices Calm and true Not like any voice I’ve heard Not even like a lover’s..   The Beautiful Ones How I long To see Feel Hear them again Everyday.   August 2015.  

VOICES

The voices in my head Crying to be heard All this while haven’t misled My guide, been like a friend.   These voices that never sleep My company they always keep Speaking words, so true and deep Telling me to look before I leap.   Voices that never lie Unlike men they never die Speaking words no one can buy Even though some make you cry.   Voices speak to my ear In words so loud and clear Wisdom from you I hear Speak to me right here. ….
