Never Do Like You

  

I will never do like you do

Because you will never do

Like I do

I spent my days

Over empty pages

Pouring out my emotions

Trying to live my life

Through the different stages

You will never be

Like me

Because there are certain things

You will never see

You will never know

what`s happening inside

I put on another face

Trying to hide

Am I less of a man?

I don`t understand

Why am I being pushed aside

To not live my life

In a normal society

But you will never do

Like I do

I walk these streets

Like a shadow

Trying to fit in behind another

I don`t have a world for myself

Because I’ve been living

In the world

Of someone else

But now I know

I will never do

Like you do

Not at all

Because when these pages

Are filled

I put the writing on the wall

For all to see

Because I’m tired

Of hiding in the shadows

So I came out in the light

To share my story

With the whole world

My Story

You don`t know my story

You`ve never listened

To my song

You`ve only choose

To accuse me

Of all the things I’ve

Done wrong

But I’m here by faith

It is the only thing which

Keeps me going on

Many days I can`t lift my eyes unto the hills

Because they are heavy

With tears

So I choose to get down

On my knees

And cried to the only person

I knew would understand

The language of my tears

But you see

You`ve never had trouble

And you`ve never had pain

You`ve never been out

Of water

And just dying for the lord

To send some rain

You`ve always had people

That cared about you

So you`ve never felt ignored

Every now and then

So you can stand there

And pretend

But the lord is my witness

Because he`s the only one there

When I’m having sleepless nights

So when you see me smiling

Smile with me

And if the Holy Spirit prompts you

Pray for me

Because there is nothing stronger

Than a Christian family

Lord I give you all

My praises

And rejoice thankfully

That throughout my storms

You calmed the mighty winds for me

My Life

I`d like to tell you my story

If you don`t mind

I won`t charge you a dollar

Or ask you for a coin

I`d like to tell you

How much I’ve been blind

Failing to see opportunities

From time to time

I`d like to share with you

My life of regrets

Wishing I could go back

And rearrange certain aspects

There is never a time

I don`t feel alone

Under-achieving and overgrown

My regular glance at the past

Caused me to lose focus

Of a future that is

Soon to pass

Who am I?

I often ask myself

Afraid to look in the mirror

Or I might see

Someone else

I looked for a change

But what should I expect

When the wheels of my life

Are running retrospect
