He’s Near
What you say really doesn’t matter.
I will not sit and listen to your jibber jabber.
Time and time again my heart was shattered.
Shattered pieces, I never ceased to gather.
Look deep within and you will see a vessel once abused and battered.
I fell, but I got up.
There is a possibility that I may fall again.
Nevertheless, it’s never my intentions to operate in sin.
Because of what I’ve been through, I am setting another trend.
Perhaps, one day, you will understand my grin.
Many times and many sizes were my tears.
Sometimes I was provoked by my peers.
Got caught without my gear.
Day by day, I learned to face my fears.
There’s comfort in knowing that He is near.

Back In the Race
There have been times when old habits, old addictions, and old ways tried to return.
It was then that I found it crucial to dwell on what I had learned.
I shall not return to the things that have kept me captive
nor to the things that have held me back.
So it’s necessary that I take some time to sit down, sit back, and to reflect
on all the things that I, now, neglect.
I’m back in the race now, and there is no turning back.
If I fall, I will fight to get back up.
If I slip, I’ll never be too proud to repent.
Should I get weary, I know how to stop and where to seek help.
Should I get weak, I’ll turn to my Source who is also my Creator.
I’ll just keep trying, keep fighting,
keep pushing because sooner or later things will get better.
So, I choose to take charge and deal with what’s at hand.
I shake it off.
I speak to my situation and let weights fall where they may.
I’m back in the race now, and there’s no turning back!

Fully Aware
I’m fully aware of my past.
I’m fully aware of decisions I made and company that I kept.
I’m fully aware of that.
It has been brought to my attention that my past is simply my past.
My mind has been renewed. I don’t think like I use to.
Strength has been restored. I’m no longer quiet; but, instead, I stand on what I know is right.
My identity has been identified. I’ve been qualified, chosen and tried.
I want you to be fully aware that I am only who God says I am.
I’m no longer who I used to be. I’m no longer what I used to be.
But, I strive daily to be and to do only those things that line up with my identity.

Bounce Back
In an atmosphere full of murmur and hatred
Surrounded by conversations of he-say and she-say
Struggling trying to make it through the day
Pondering do I run or must I stay.
Endlessly, promising myself that there is a better way.
Low self-esteem, feelings of worthlessness and misuse have accumulated
Reluctantly, I’m devastated.
Just when you thought I was about to quit,
I decided I’d bounce back with MY hardest hit.

Reset
I tried to reach you but I couldn’t get through.
Something was blocking me from communicating with you.
So, I tried again but you had too much to do.
I tried to get your attention.
Still, my name, you
