Hold us together (Hope Mix). . .

I will trust in You  and know that You are with me Forever I'll confide in You, ' cause You're the only answer t hat matters There might be very few people that you can actually trust as much as you trust in a higher power. How can you rely on someone to be there fully for you when you are in your hour of need? That's the thing with trust and being able to confide in someone - having that peace of mind that you will be protected and nurtured when the situation requires. We will often need to block out the noise that threatens to consume us, overwhelm us, try to confuse us. When you can block out the noise and focus very carefully on the stillness that you need, answers will be revealed to you that you can begin to trust and know that it comes individually wrapped for you. Even in the darkness You will be my light Even when I'm hopeless You will be my guide I will not be shaken, I will not be moved Even in the chaos, I know that You're good To be in darkness can ...

Woman like me. . .

You're driving me away, give e a reason to stay I want to be lost in you but not in this way Don't think you quite understand who you have on your hands How can you not see just how good for you I am? Why would you stay if you don't feel it is the right thing to do? We tend to drive others away when we go through situations that require clarity of thought, personal space to deal with issues that need not concern the judgmental gaze of others. Why do we allow ourselves to be misunderstood when we should be able to speak freely and loudly? Why should anybody believe that you are a viable choice for any significant position in their life? I know that you've been hurt before, that's why you feel so insecure I begged you to let me in, 'cause I only want to be the cure If you don't choose to grow, we ain't ever gonna know Just how good this could be I really hoped that this would go somewhere We cannot hope to change people's inner perception of themselves...

Broken and beautiful. . .

I never held my hand out and asked for something free I got pride I could roll out for miles in front of me I don't need your help, and I don't need sympathy I don't need you to lower the bar for me Are you the type of person who never really asks for help? How do people know when you are broken? 2021 was a pretty rough year. You could be forgiven for mistaking 2020 as a traumatic year with the global pandemic that has never been out of the news cycle since it arrived but, here we are. I've been sitting on this blog post for a while (15 days to be exact) as I have been trying to navigate my way through some challenges. What does 2022 hold for you? More people trying to lower the bar for you? I know I'm Superwoman, I know I'm strong I know I've got this 'cause I've had it all along I'm phenomenal and I'm enough I don't need you to tell me who to be Everyone is entitled to an opinion - on any topic, on anybody, on any given day. Have you fo...

To be loved. . .

I built a house for love to grow I was so young that it was hard to know I'm as lost now as I was back then Always make a mess of everything It's about time that I face myself All I do is bleed into someone else Painting walls with all my secret tears Filling rooms with all my hopes and fears The first time I heard this song, I was mesmerised. I've been sitting on this blogpost for a while and didn't know how to approach this particular piece. How could a song capture feelings that I haven't felt that I could confront for myself? The power of music, when lyrics can transport you to places that you don't want to go, but need to be; that's when you know you are where you are meant to be. What do you know when you're young when you think you're building a place for love to grow - but you lose sight of that growth? Maybe we are constantly meant to make a mess of everything, because isn't mess all relative anyway? Be careful of the places where you bl...

Fighting for me. . .

  I need the kinda love that outlast the night I need the kinda love that is willing to fight   When the going gets tough And my strength's not enough I see You showing up like never before This battle for my heart You are the peace when my mind's at war And oh Why do we seek love in the wrong places? We come to realisations that we make mistakes. We are not as strong as we think we are. But why would anyone really know? I cannot remember the countless times that I was lead to believe that things were, but never really were. Who is battling for your heart right now? There might be someone who is trying to lay claim to it. There might be someone who is trying to discourage you from seeking the love you deserve in your life. Who shows up for you when you least expect it?  You will never stop fighting for me When I can't fight for myself Every word is a promise You keep 'Cause You love me like nobody else You stand up for me in the darkest night When my faith is weak Yo...

Old habits die hard. . .

I thought I shook myself free You xee I bounce back quicker than most But I'm half delirious, is too mysterious You walk through my walls like a ghost And I take every day at a time I'm as proud as a Lion in his lair Now there's no denying it, a note to crying it You're all tangled up in my head How is your level of resilience? When you come up against something, do you bounce back quicker than most? Unless you go through trauma, for some, sadly there are multiple incidents of trauma, that once connected in a timeline shows a recipe for reverting to old habits. Do you have any old habits that you're trying to break? How are you able to get your head recalibrated again? Who is going to help you to do that? We won't know how to do this recalibration until we figure out ways to replace those old habits with new habits.  Old habits die hard Old soldiers just fade away Old habits die hard Harder than November rain Old habits die hard  Old soldiers just fade away  Old...

It ain't yours to throw away. . .

That same road that brought you here Will sure as hell take you home The life you left behind will have you back You're tired of paying dues in worn out shoes And Broadway blues And any fool will tell you The damn ol' deck is stacked Do you want to return to the life that you once had? It is always easy to reminisce about the good times, the great times in fact, that may be treasured moments in your heart. You wonder sometimes whether the road that you travel on will take you places where you meet good people with good hearts, but more importantly, with good ears. When will we get to a point where we have finished paying our dues? How much longer do you have to be patient before your chance comes around? When will the odds ever be in your favour? What if you're just a vessel And God gave you something special If you are a vessel, do you know what you carry? What are we doing to pour the best of ourselves out to others so that they can go and spread good energy (not spread t...
