I'm encouraged to see a lot of people try their hands on poetry. It delights me because a lot of people said they don't know they can write poetry and post here. I said why not? This writing platform encourages creativity and it can come in various forms as long as we are passing the right messages across. Here, I am sharing some amazingly deep poetic lyrics from me to you. Let me know which is your favourite. I enjoyed pouring my heart into these ones...

He Will Show Mercy.

You don't handover a thing to Him
and see it fail, failure isn't a part of Him
You don't let him hold your hands
and fall, He isn't a fallen angel
You don't offer yourself as a sacrifice
and get burnt, saving is what He does
It is my assurance that He will have mercy

You don't stand with Him and become weak,
weakness isn't His weakness
You don't stand for Him and be disappointed,
disappointment isn't one of His pleasures
You don't stand on His Words and stumbled
once you don't under-stand, He'll lift you
Even when you do, His arms are ready to lift
It is my assurance that He will have mercy

You don't stay with Him and be defeated,
losing isn't a part of His game
One with God is majority
and one without God is minority
He will surely have mercy, no matter how long it takes or looks
But you gotta call
He will surely have mercy no matter what you face,
He will surely have mercy because He is God!

Relevance.

Like a salt, never to be drown in water,
although made from water,
relevance is meant to be preserved.
That you're made from the ground,
should be the motivation never to stay on the ground

Like a light, never to be overshadowed by darkness,
though brought out of darkness,
relevance is meant to be kept
That your background is low,
shouldn't put you back to the ground

Like a voice, never to be swallowed,
though brought out from deep within,
relevance should be maintained
That you're brought out of the hiding place,
shouldn't mean you should go back hiding

Relevance is as important as existence
and it's preservation is crucial
You can be relevant and lose it
but it's advisable never to lose your relevance,
because it's the spice to life

This is Life.

Motivation doesn't last, just like bathing
That's why it's recommended every day or as I would say, often
It's easier to get discouraged with all around us
Situations sometimes push us over and beyond
That we cave in with not much strength left in us
Stay motivated or let motivation find you like a man chased by the bear
It's okay to feel sad and it's okay to cry sometimes
Feeling down or sad is never because you are weak
You are human, so allow the emotions to flow but know when to stop
It looks convenient to be pitied but it's a ground where nothing grows sustainably
Crying is also a sign of strength as you are in touch with your feelings
Being in touch with your feelings makes you see things with clarity
Pick yourself up and go again because you are responsible for you
Life doesn't come with a manual so try to live and learn
Take nothing to heart, so make an impact, help and earn
Gather as much as you can gather in while giving from your barn
You've got only one life to live and you don't wasn't to be pitied
It's not a crime to be pitied
But it's a comfortable ground where most people have lost it all -
Lacking the motivation to keep forging ahead with life
It's always nice to know when to pick yourself back up after a hit

Tough As Steel.

My soul was vexed within me but I kept a cool head
A head that wants to wear the crown must learn how to lead
They thought I was in chains but all I see is the bead
They tried to break my spirit thinking I will fold
Little did they know I am strong, tough, heading for the gold
Their actions and inactions are leaving me in the stage of the mould
Carefully shaping my mental state and character so I can be bold
They talk about me, try to leave me out in the cold
Hoping I would come crawling back to them and I can fold
They are viewing me with the eyes of the old
How I choose to respond is entirely mine to hold
What was meant to break me made me stronger, they have been told
My fears and lack of resilience of old I have sold
You cannot break me without my permission
If I allow you to, it's my choice and you have to pay commission
This is my life and I choose to live it without competition
I am a man of few words but I know my mission
No amount of words can break me from the opposition
I'm confident in who I am and I hold tight my position
I sieve you like a chaff of wheat if you make to me no addition
Life is about mutualism; we both add values without condition
This is how I choose to live; tough as steel, maybe I'm limited edition

Thank you for your time.

My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.

Still me,

My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
