SINKING SHIP

It may be a little hard to admit
But we have more control over our emotions than we think
Most times we find ourselves doing most things alone
Sleeping alone, eating alone, picking ourselves up alone, stay safe and sound alone 
We forget that we actually didn’t do these things alone
It wouldn’t have been possible alone
Someone helped us and his name is GOD

Ever wondered how our parents make a living and make a home alone?
Ever wondered why we fall so easily and rise difficultly?
There’s nothing wrong with dreaming
Even when our hopes are sinking
With a little faith in God, I promise you there will come a day when your dreams will come true 
You might not get the dreams you aspire, you might get better ones
If you don’t give up on yourself
You won’t be like others who gave up on you
You won’t let yourself down

No one spells you life neither does anyone live your life
You feel the degree of hurt and the extension of your smile
You know your wishes, your contemplations
Ever been on the peak of a mountain and few seconds later, you fall right into a valley
Dark valley, absolutely no sunshine
Only God can give us the type of sight we need to survive through our struggles
And help us not wish to be a part of other people’s hustles
He’ll help us build strategies
To be our own person

It’s a promise that if you kneel and pray
U’ll get a better day
God will help you find your way
If you ask him to come into your life and stay
Face reality when you’re falling
No one hears you calling
But God sees it, he feels it, he knows it
And he helps us out, one way or the other
Through people, through things, through yourself

As everyday passes, w live less
We need to make the best of every second we breathe
Don’t spend your life going back to history and remembering things that shouldn’t be memories
God should be in our thoughts, in our words, in our actions
Without him, it gets lonely
And with him, our burdens are lightened
because he will always hold me up like the sky holds the moon

Say this to yourself:
Everyone needs a soul
everyone needs someone or something to believe in
you are not someone, neither are you a thing
you are God, beyond human, beyond things
God, I don’t wanna be a sinking ship
I wanna be a sailing ship
Build on me a stronger ship
Help me pull this weight that staggers my ship
And give me the strength and ability to pull through this overflowing flood
even when there's no light after dawn and even when the waves never stop flooding my shores
I know you can calm these seas because you are the creator of these waves
And you know that I know that I can’t find any other way to make it without you

AMEN

If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea.
Even there Your hand shall lead me. And Your right hand shall hold me.
- Psalms 139:9-10
