God Has A Plan For Me

Always know that God has a plan for you. A lot of times we feel that our past is the main thing that affects our future, when in reality you can make yourself a better future. Sometimes you have to go through storms in your past so that you can appreciate your future. Never let your past hold you back. God may even delay you so that he can build you up to where he wants you to be, so don't dreail from God because you don't know where he is taking you, just learn how to move forward and God will make a way. It took me a long time to realize that God had a plan for me.

God Has A Plan For Me

Yeah I may not have the job that my bachelor’s degree should have achieved

But that doesn’t mean that I should lose my pride and tell everyone that I didn’t succeed

You may misunderstand my smile

But that’s because you don’t know that God Has A Plan For Me

And who cares if I had to go back home for days, months, and weeks

And It’s okay that right now I don’t have a dental plan to take care of my teeth

And you may think I’m crazy because I’m laughing

But that’s because you don’t know that God Has A Plan For Me

And yes it’s still going to take me another year to pay off my car

And no I don’t have my own house with a big back yard

And you’re curious as to why I still hold my head up high

But that’s because you don’t know that God Has A Plan For Me

No I don’t have money stashed away in a savings account

And who cares if I don’t know what not living check to check is all about

And it’s amazing to you that everyday I don’t cry

But that’s because you don’t know that God Has A Plan For Me

So what if I can’t go out every week and buy me a new pair of sneaks

And it’s not my fault that I’m mailing out a new bill every single week

And you’re still wondering why a smile fills up my cheeks

But that’s because you don’t know that God Has A Plan For Me

And yes I still get my food off the dollar menu at Wendy’s

And no I aint never ever wore anything that said Prada or Fendi

And you shake your head because I happily rock my Payless shoes

But that’s because you don’t know that God Has A Plan For Me

And so what if I don’t make that many trips just so I won’t have to spend money on gas

And yeah I write checks just to make me feel like my money actually lasts

And you’re not sure why I’m still having fun

But that’s because you don’t know that God Has A Plan For Me

Because you didn’t see me picking up this pen and pad

And you didn’t see me writing down rhymes that you didn’t know I had

And you didn’t see me staring at the computer screen 4 to 5 times a week

You may not have known, but I knew that God Had A Plan For Me

　

　

We as individuals are always quick to point out all the bad that someone has done to us, but never the good. But when you have a good thing you have to let them know in your own way. Sometimes it takes the bad to appreciate the good, and I definitely appreciate the good that I have.

His

　

He’s like a breath of fresh air

My cloud over my sun

I drift into his arms

I lay my head on his chest

His smile fills my horizon

He’s like a tall glass of ice water

An umbrella in the rain

I cling to his strength

His laugh tickles my heart

I’m lost in his baby face

He’s like the combination to my safe

The band around my money

I rub my hand across his close cut

I grin at his eyes

I drown in his gaze

I confide in his heart

He’s like the socks on my cold feet

The time on my watch

I bathe in his mind

I hide in his soul

He’s like a candle that lights my room

The wine in my glass

I’m shook by his touch

Engulfed in his sweat

I’m locked by his attention

He’s like the ring on my finger

The polish on my nails

I grab his hand

I kiss his lips

I detect his love

And only his

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are  many times as individuals that we hold on to a love that is not there anymore. We put on fake smiles, and still go through the motions. We look at our significant others through saddened eyes. We hold on when in reality we should just let go.

 

 

I Let My Love Go

 

 

I don’t think I love you

At least not how I used to

I call you, but not because I want to

I see you, but not because I need to

Your voice turns my stomach inside out

I kiss you but not because I love your mouth

At least not anymore

I don’t even like walking through your door
Your eyes don’t undress me like they did before
It’s hard for me to even say I’ll always be yours

I give you 100%

And you give me what you feel like that day

I tell you everything I know

But you don’t listen to what I say

I show you how much I love you

And you don’t even show me you care

I come to see you when I can

But you don’t really want me there

I used to love you beyond the fullest extent

I know you’re probably wondering where that love went

Well worry no more; I’m going to let you know

The minute you stopped loving me

I let my love go
