My soul looms like ominous clouds one day
But despite the misery, I’m determined to the victory
I silently prayed for triumph in overcoming negativity
Strength and wisdom I learned, from surviving my adversity.
It started in my heart ‘tis thing I called “Pain”
Unbearable feelings sending signals to my brain
From my sole to the head, running through my veins
Destruction I won’t be allowed, or else my life will be in vain.
Encountering and struggling with life’s up and down
It’s sitting on my temple like a monarch’s proud crown
The obstacles drain my energy and make me frown
Yet there’s always hope in my core even If I’m feeling down.
Life is queer with its twist and turns sometimes
But without these adversities, life is boring without steps to climb
And some roads I’m trudging seem so uphill
Succeeding and moving forward is like winning a fortune will.
Things may not be clearer most all of the time
Feeling perplexed after everything I’ve been tried
Yet imperfections and failures are fine
That’s a spice of life, to us which is tied.
I’ve thanked the Lord above all
I don’t let greed doom my soul
Trying to be good and be humble
Despite hardships, I’m still grateful.
No one is born in this world perfectly
Heartfully I admit my delinquency
I accepted my shortcomings and all
That’s what I taught to my unsinkable soul.
For the kingdom of heaven, I’m praying for
I ain’t no saint but he heard for sure
Forgiveness I offered and also asked
As a daughter of thy Father, my faith is vast.
Faith keeps our souls safe and unsinkable;
Many claimed to be a good one but understanding is incapable
But who am I to judge instead I tried to be comprehensible;
I only want a peaceful life, meek and simple.
