You Would Like

There are so many people out there that don't want to see others succeed. Whether it is in a relationship, or friendship gone bad, or somebody who says they truly care for you. When someone isn't happy in their life a lot of times they don't want to see you happy either. The best thing to do is keep going. They can either join you or you can leave them behind.

You Would Like

 

You would like to see me fail

But yet I still persevere

You would like to see me crumble

But I’m already on the next flight of stairs

You would want me to give up

But I don’t know how to surrender

You would like if I lost my mind

But there aint nothing about you I remember

You would hope I didn’t feel like living

But strength has taken away my depression

You would like to see me drown on memories of you

But now God is my only obsession

You would like me to waste my thoughts on the past

But my focus is on my future

You would want me to hide my pretty smile

But that’s just not what I’m used to

You would like for me to not see through the cloud

But my vision is set on clear

You would hope my eyes would be flooded out

But I already dried out all the tears

You would like for me to sit and mope around

But I already did that when I was with you

You would like for me to remember your sound

But all my thoughts of you are mute

You would like me to stay single

But my options I can’t even count

You would like me to listen to you

But I don’t even know what, what you like is all about

Victory

Maturing is something that takes many mistakes. You have to get tired of falling before you decide to stand firm. I fought hard to not get on the straight and arrow until I couldn't fight anymore. So glad that God did not give up on me. He won the fight, the best loss I could ever face.

 

Victory 

Oh I put up a fight

I mean I put forth every ounce of effort I had

Trying to defeat him

I exhausted all of my energy just to run away

Scared, no stupid because I didn’t even know what I was running from

My blind eyes were focused on all the wrong things

I couldn’t even recognize right

If right was in my face

So I woke up every day determined not to get caught

At least not willingly

I dodged his arrows of faith

Bullets of belief

And bombs of sacrifice on a daily

Wasn’t gonna let his book of words tame me

I was caged, just not in his world

And if I really am his daughter

I betrayed him just like Judas

So foolish of me to run in the opposite direction

Chasing after affection and approval

Removing myself from his graces

Running on my last ounce of mercies

Yet he still pursued me

Like the last apple that fell from the tree

Bruised on all sides he treated me delicately

Washed me, polished me

Gave me the strength to believe

But why

I did the best I could to distance me

Hiding behind masks of too proud

And years of whatever

I never imagined this shift

He sifted through all of my flaws

To find the true beauty in me

The diamond in the rough

And he extracted it slowly

Showed me that there was so much more to my life

A way to turn my wrongs right

And at my lowest point why not try

It can’t be that bad

He wouldn’t have put forth the time or effort if I wasn’t worth it

He so confirmed it

The day he turned my dull to shine

Opened up these nonbelieving eyes

Told me to trust him

I never envisioned that God would win

But this victory I owe to him
