When to Speak, and When to Be Silent

    Sometimes silence can be violent or diamonds and sadly, in a culture so consumed with social media, the line is becoming more and more blurred. I came across a tweet the other day from @SwedishCanary that said, "Never has a generation so diligently recorded themselves doing nothing." That hit home. It boggles my mind that so many can sit behind a screen and yell and scream and preach, but their lives are selling the opposite from sitting and staying stagnant. Over the past couple of months God has been stretching me more and more out of my comfort zone. That's a story and topic for another time. But my point is: are we really saying what we should be? So in this post I'm going to be speaking about when it's okay to speak and when it's okay to be silent.

    God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason, but I wonder how much we would contradict ourselves if He gave us two mouths. In a way, He did. Our second mouth is called our actions. They speak the loudest and they are what determines reactions. This day and age many have the habit of speaking without thinking and it often gets them into trouble. We have filters, but only on Instagram, pic apps, and Twitter. We rarely ever use them for our mouth. Speaking our opinions have become more like partitions than help. Knowing what to say can be more important than when to say it.

So what kind of things are okay to say? 

  • Things that express encouragement. (Ephesians 4:29)
  • Things that give thanks. (Ephesians 5:4)
  • Things that answer gently. (Proverbs 15:4)
  • Things that reply graciously. (Colossians 4:6)
  • Things that declare truth. (Ephesians 4:24)
  • Things that show courtesy. (Titus 3:2)
  • Things that mouth righteousness. (Proverbs 12:6)


    There is a time and a place for everything, including your words. Seeking the Lord for discernment in when to say something is also important. Have you ever tried to resolve something with somebody who just wouldn't have it? It's a killer! When people are all riled up at least one, if not all of these three things happen:

  1. They're not in the right state of mind. (We've all been here. We're so focused on being right that our state of mind becomes wrong. Our words can be right along with our intentions being wrong.)
  2. Their filter is on defense mode. (We feel attacked so we're more concerned about sticking up for ourselves than openly hearing others out.)
  3. They won't listen. (We heard what we thought we heard so we just want to speak instead of hearing them honestly.)


    Have you ever gone back to those types of conversations that didn't go well at first after your feelings dissipated? Conversations tend to go much better when you're not on fire. (James 1:19 - "Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;") Learning to be silent than what to speak is a tougher feat. It draws me to people so much more when I can tell that they're pondering what was said instead of them piling up what to say. (This is something I definitely can work on.) It is a sign of wisdom to me; and it clearly was in the Bible as well. It even says the foolish man who is silent appears intelligent (Proverbs 17:28). There are so many other good things said in the Bible about those who are silent whose mind remains steadfast on the Lord. I definitely want to develop those characteristics.

These kind of people are:

  • Understanding. (Problems 11:12)
  • Wise. (Proverbs 29:11)
  • Beautiful. (1 Peter 3:3-4)
  • Peaceful. (Isaiah 26:3)
  • Prudent. (Amos 5:13, Proverbs 10:19, Proverbs 12:23)

    Like I mentioned and demonstrated above, silence is a beautiful thing unless we're being silent about the truth. We are to speak what is true 100% of the time. In that case, let's NOT be silent and NOT back down. Let's NOT be intimidated into silence any longer. What do we have to lose in speaking the truth? I'm not going to say nothing. We will lose our fleshly desires, we will lose our comfort, we will lose our self-dependency, BUT we will NOT lose our souls. So today I encourage you to stand up and speak out now to whoever God lays on your heart!

The Idolatry Of Ignorance

    God is a God of order. (1 Corinthians 14:33 - "For God is not a God of disorder but of peace..") Therefore, He is also a God of logic. How many of us can say we have a logical rebuttal for the questions we face everyday? I can confidently tell you this from experience; I have found that when my reply is logical I stay at peace. I have found that when I don't know the answer that humility is better than ignorant malarkey. Taking a moment to search out the answer thoroughly is better than assuming and speaking figuratively. So how many of you can say you have studied God's Word? I know I can and I don't say that in a manner of pride and you know why? Because no matter how much you have studied God's Word in your lifetime there will always be more to learn from Him, and often those things will be from the same things you have studied previously.

    I wonder if you're one of the few who do because I am baffled at people's lack of response to this one question that I see many Christians often receive, including me: "If God was a loving God then why does He send people to hell?" I want to clarify the answers for those who would appreciate a better understanding of this by posing some questions myself. Why would a loving God force you to go to heaven when you have chosen the opposite (the one true living God, not falsified images posing as God or idols that take on the form of television, music, books, friends, family, your boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, your phone, work, food, bacon, etc.)? We all are on this earth right now either learning hell's language or heaven's and whatever language we choose to learn and to live will take us to its destination by the path we individually have chosen to walk on. So would God be a God of love if He forced us on that path of faith when we didn't want to be? Simply put, you choose it and you choose the consequence of it. This isn't just for the unbelievers. It's for the believers alike. I am not exempt from this because I often find me writing to myself in my blog posts. Thanks to God, I am no stranger to the things I need to work on.

    Are we truly on the path of faith or are we cruising the freeway doing what we want whenever we want? Can an active follower of Jesus hold anything higher than the Name above all names? No. What we believe is not what we say; it's what we do and what we do and what we live out is a reflection of our thoughts. Whatever consumes most of our time, whatever we think and dream most about is an idol. So I want to encourage you all today to take captive your thoughts for they exceedingly are the root of what's lost. Hide His Word in your heart because everything you do flows from it, everything you think flows from it, and know that you can win by focusing upon the cross. I know some of you may be struggling with unforgiveness, lust, insecurity, fear, self-hatred, hate, bitterness, you name it; we've all been there. Also, we can all overcome by the blood of the Lamb. I encourage you to declare your freedom today by taking captive your thoughts. Use the authority God has given you as a child of the Most High by not letting the devil have control over you anymore and meditate this week on these verses: 2 Corinthians 10:5 - "Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ," and Philippians 4:8 - "Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things." It's going to take training your thoughts, but I promise you that in the end it is so very worth it.

The People Pleaser Reader

    Have you ever went out and fed the homeless and had someone tell you that you're focusing on works to be saved? Have you ever preached about grace and had someone tell you that you're using it as an excuse? Have you ever preached against sin and had someone call you legalistic? Have you ever preached about God's will and had someone say you believe in the law of attraction? Have you ever preached about reaping what you sow and had someone say you're this or that because it's karma? Have you ever preached about humility and had someone say you're prideful because you're preaching about humility? Have you ever preached the law of righteousness and had someone tell you it's not love? Have you ever felt confident and had someone call you conceited only to make you go back to feeling insecure? Have you ever preached about purity and had someone tell you that because of your past you can't? Have you ever used wisdom and had someone demand that you can trust them? Have you ever tried to reconcile God's way only to have someone reject you? Have you ever told the truth to a friend only to have them say you're judgmental? 

    Have you ever? I know I have many times. First off, I want to encourage you to examine your motives. 2 Corinthians 11:28 - "Examine your motives, test your heart, come to this meal in holy awe."  Please take into account that what people say might be true and that we're all going to be put to the test. From experience of impure motives I had to take a look at my actions before I could see others reactions in the right light. Proverbs 16:2 - "All a person's ways seem pure to them, but motives are weighed by the LORD." Secondly, if you put your words to the test of God's and find that you're in right-standing with Him then please don't let people's misinterpretations and assumptions discourage you from your walk. So many times I've let people steal my peace just because I let in what they were pushing on me. No. More. 1 Corinthians 2:11 - "No one can know a person's thoughts except that person's own spirit, and no one can know God's thoughts except God's own spirit." If we are all doing what we're supposed to be doing by testing our hearts and testing spirits then our lives are pleasing to God.

    Life gets dangerous when we take our eyes off of Jesus. Many words, lies, assumptions, and hurts come our way and if we aren't living in the Spirit then those spirits can severely damage us. If we aren't living in the Spirit we are living in the flesh and if we're living in the flesh, we're focused on flesh. I used to let other people's words and actions affect me tremendously. I began to look at those people for my identity, my approval, and my affirmation. Believe me when I say that I'm still not perfect when it comes to that now, but I think we all do that at times and it hurts us even more so when those people were once close. We then start to live to try to please them, but we can't take things personally because people hurt us purposefully. When we accept what they say we reject what God's Word says about us. (Click Link For MoreEphesians 6:12 - "For we are not fighting against flesh and blood enemies, but against principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness of the unseen world." When we focus what's really at stake in the Spirit we see it for what it is - Satan using people to work against us. We start to see that their spirit is not in line with the Spirit. Luke 6:45 says, "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks." After first examining ourselves we are able to execute righteous judgments about spirits when we test them. When we focus on Jesus we're able to see who we really are. We become a God pleaser like we should be because let's just be real; nobody has the time or the energy to please everybody! So honey, do yourself a favor and live to please your Father.

There's A Price To Pay

There's A Price To Pay

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


We all do what we've got to do to survive.
Truthfully it doesn't matter if we live or if we die..
Because if we don't die today
We might die tomorrow
And if we don't pray.. 
Then a bullet could be the price of our persona..

Or selling bad weed
At least it would be in the streets
While the price of a broke father of five is his worrying and anxiety
Being the possibility..
Of an OD.

While the price of an actress not getting naked in front of 
And off of the screen..
Is that all of her bank accounts..freeze.
Well I'm here today to tell you that the wages you make
Can never pay the price of sin.

Murderers, drug dealers, meth addicts
Jesus paid the price for all them.
The jealous, the impatient,
The zealous that don't match the heart of heaven
The haters, the players, the racists..
The complacent He died for all of them.

But the consequences for our sin
Will never add up to what He did.
And if He shed His blood and
Popped veins
So that we would be allowed to remain in the
Very things that caused Him pain
Then wouldn't you say...His death was all in vain?

Dancing With Demons

Dancing With Demons

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

At the club dancin with demons.
Would you be dancin with yo booty up on Jesus?
It's a vivid image.
I know.
It should be makin you cringe.
I know.

You were made for beauty.
Instead you're quenching the thirsty -
Twerking -
It's one of the worst.
Shakin yo booty ain't gonna to get yo booty into heaven,
Inert.

Why you flirtin
With the enemy?
He's a coy little smile watchin,
Sayin cheese.
Well girl, do it like sweet brown and run fo yo life.
There's a fire and you ain't just gonna be burning for the night.

We all fighting in the world for purity.
And you ain't be fightin' right if you're of the world promoting promiscuity.
I can guaran-tee one of you is offended with me.
But I'd rather be real than pretend -
Ya know what I mean?
Honey - You know I'm all for originality.
But you're still - initiating
Every stimulus - you're intimating subliminally
Just happens to be the same
Call-me-lame.

It ain't sexy.
Talkin' Jamie Fox ya-boy
You think you fox-y 
Talkin about shawtys disrespectfully.
There blamin it on the alcohol
Well I'm here with real cannonballs
Knockin down your walls-call it
Truth.

Whatchoo talkin 'bout?
Willis thinkin you the illest
But your girl here keepin it the trillest.
You blamin it on the alcohol when you're the one puttin it in yo mouth.
The truth came in and the truth came out.
Jason Deru- Who?
I'll tell you what you do.
Look to the one and only Author of truth.
Now ya can't blame me for staying silent
Cuz I'm spreadin the truth kinda like a virus.

The Power of Prayer

    I'm just getting back into praying because if I were honest with you all then I would let you know that I am exiting a season of disobeying and into a season of communicating. I've been in and out of this habit of prayer a few times in my spiritual walk with God and I cannot say that when I was out of this habit that I had a relationship with Him. I am now doing better with this, but only because I have been spending time getting to know Him all over again. I've said it several times: you cannot have a relationship with someone who you're not communicating with. It's easier said than done however. It's easier to get out of the habit than back into the habit. I want to bring to your attention Jude 1:20 - "But you, dear friends, by building you up in your most holy faith, and praying in the Holy Spirit.." So how important is prayer? Let's find out.


What does prayer do?


  •  It brings you the promises of God.

  1. Take note - We are not to ask with the wrong motives (James 4:3).
  2. (James 5:13-15, John 14:13-14, Ephesians 1:13, Acts 2:38, Matthew 13:11)

  •      It brings us into the presence of God.

  1. When we call someone up on the phone we enter into their presence through conversing with them.
  2. (Psalm 145:18, Luke 6:12, Exodus 3:14)

  •   It brings us the wisdom of God.

  1. (James 1:5, 1 Corinthians 2:13, 1 John 4:1, Proverbs 17:27, Acts 16:25)

Does God answer all of our prayers?


    God answers every single one of our prayers, but not always in the way we want him to. Sometimes the things we ask are not beneficial to us, beneficial to others, or line up with the will of God.


What are God's answers?


  • Yes. (Prayer moves the heart of God; prayer with the right motive that is.)
  • No. (Like I stated above not everything that we pray is in the will of God. He knows best.)
  • Wait. (Sometimes our timing is off. Scratch that. A lot of the time our timing is off. When it is God's timing things will go smoothly. You won't have to push to make things happen and you won't have to pull anyone or anything on your own bandwagon.)

    I hope that this will help you get back on your knees and talk to our Heavenly Father. He yearns to have intimacy with you and me. I don't want to see believers rise up, but lower themselves in humility to the Father's teachings; because it is only then when we can rise up with the right heart and focus. If you would like to tell me all about how you're doing with this or if you simply need prayer for anything you are welcome to e-mail me at: confessionsofachurchkid@gmail.com

Forgiveness Like A Crown

Forgiveness Like A Crown

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


I know that I have forgiven
When the tightness in my chest loosens
And the substance of my heart softens..
Towards that person.

I know that I have forgiven
When I realize that we're all human
No matter how wicked
And when forgiveness..does not mean revenge
But me leaving them in my Father's hands
To avenge
And that my hand..
Will not touch them.
So that I don't sow discord among the brethren.

I know that I've forgiven
When I realize my own flaws 
And disobedience to the law of holiness,
When I realize that I'm a mess
And I need Him to desperately heal my brokenness,
And reteach me about what trust is.

I know that I've forgiven
When I learn that I am worth it,
Repentance,
Forgiveness..
Like a crown.
Drown me now
In Your grace.
Come, let Your love abound.

Lonely Hearts

Lonely Hearts
By: Elaina Grace Morgan


At night when we're laying in bed
 Staring up at the ceiling,
A blank canvas
In a room full of loneliness,

In the day when we're shopping for what to dress in next,
Whatever others think looks best,
Our bodies being another canvas
To address,

When we arrive home to a meaningless kiss,
Some experiencing the weight of heartlessness,
From being selfishly undressed
Causing us to think that we're not worth the respect,

Or when we go out with friends
Trying to mend or depend on them,
Causing us to remember a deep sea of forgetfulness..
When we shouldn't

Or how about when we see our family on Christmas,
Faking a smile when we're really depressed
Yet our focus is on striving to impress..whoever shows up at the door next
And by that time we've learned how to suppress it.

Well what if I told you an addiction to approval and attention
From external things and obligations
Won't fill your emptiness?
That only Jesus can fill the void of your aloneness?

Because truth is..
We all will pass away:
People, places, things
So it is only to our Saviour, the King of Kings that we cling.

The Warfare of Words

 The Warfare of Words

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

He sent down His Son.
Choose the blood.
Receive His love
And put down your selfish ambitions,
Ugly traditions.

And pick up your cross
So you can lead the lost
And not lead them astray
For your own display of blame.
Choose real change.
Repent from the lies that lead them to shame,
That cause them to lose everything.

And even if you succeed
When they fall to their knees
The trees will hold them up
Because it's in God that they trust,
Not lust.
Not money.
Not words that drip like honey

Which actually sting like a scorpion...
Factually, their words become like a ROAR of a lion.
Their prayers..are now burning with fire.
Their shields protect them from evil desires.
And as the end keeps drawing near
They fight with faith instead of fear.

Perfectly Imperfect

Perfectly Imperfect

By: Elaina Grace Morgan
I'm perfectly imperfect and in the process of being perfected.
I'm open to my imperfections being..
Corrected
And my pathway being..
Directed..
By God,
The One who sees me
For me.
So I will not let those..lies
Cause me to..
Subside.
I choose not to listen when others put me down.
I'll run this race with endurance.
I'll get my crown.
I'll endure without becoming..weak
Because my mindset is on being meek.
I'm listening to the voice of..truth
Because His life of humility
Was living proof.
I choose to respond to immaturity..
With..humility.
I will admit I'm wrong even when I am not.
Repaying evil for evil will not be the plot.
Instead I choose to put..it
 In the hands of the blame-less
Where He seals..
It
With a holy..
Kiss.
Change ME first, Father.
Be the..
Blotter of my sins.
For how can I look at the speck in..
Other's
When I'm right there with them?

Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


If you be preachin'
And you be teachin'
And you ain't livin'
You best be leavin'
'Cause they don't need hypocrisy.
This is not a democracy
'Cause right and wrong are declared by the word of my God.

His discipline is more severe than the rod.
Yeah.
He knows your heart,
But continuing in your sin is gonna tear you apart.
Repent
And He'll give you a new start,
But if you keep on seducin'
You'll keep on producin'
Rotten fruit.
Shoot.
Send you further than Beirut.
Truth.
Turn from your trash.
'Cause the day you die your idols ain't gonna last.
Fact.

Your life is screamin' Gucci, Louis, Fendi, Prada..
Whateva.
But your mouth is singin' I got nada.
And then what your speakin' is the truth,
But your life ain't livin' proof.
You know Satan's plan is to deceive ya and lead ya to the gates of hell.
So watch out for these hypocrites for real..
'Cause there's no cutting deals 
When it's all said and done.
And whatcha gonna say?
I was just livin' for fun.

Truth Reigns

Truth Reigns

By: Elaina Grace Morgan
 
 
True riches ain't found in any daddy Warbucks.
They're found in our daddy up above.
Earthly things shall pass away,
but the truth will always...reign.
 
Never ceasing to break unwanted chains,
Shaking people to their core,
healing unwanted pain,
Leaving you thirsty for...more.
 
And no matter how hard lies try to work
To keep you bound...by your dirt,
Bound...in the shackles of your hurt
Light will always reveal what...lurks.
 
Yet darkness cannot hide...from the light
Or blind...those who are seeking to have clear sight
And it's the feeling many have pushed aside,
The feeling of what is wrong and what is...right.
 
Truth overcomes the lies that tell you you are...worthless,
Shows you what can come out of a sweet, innocent, little...kiss.
Sheds reality that your ecstasy came from...bliss.
Shines light on who really...missed you.
Truth.

Daughters of Christ

Daughters of Christ

By: Elaina Grace Morgan

Ladies, if you wouldn't want your future daughters
Wearing low shirts, short skirts, skin tight, the works
Then don't wear them presently.
Better yet let's be dressing modestly
Because you're supposed to be.
Encouraging purity.

Daughters of Jesus,
 Being cautious
 Of what we wear,
Taking God's promise
Looking in His mirror.

 He looks at our hearts
Helps us dodge all of those flaming darts
Of insecurity,
All the dirty.
He'll quench all you thirsty.
For eternity.
You don't have to look like Barbie.
Or go to parties
Speaking malarkey to be liked.

Quit using your own psyche.
Clothe yourself with the mind of Christ, See
To it, you agree with it?
 Holy Spirit and you should be tightly knit.
Admit your sins
Fall on your knees in repentance.
You're the one choosing your own sentence.

Dead To Sin

Dead To Sin

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


Here's my story;
A heart so filled with worry.
Riding dirty every day 
Whether sunny or dreary,
Flickin' that middle finger up in a hurry.
Learning gas pedal to the metal
Never earned us a gold medal.
I was running backwards

Trippin' on my vico,
Doing psycho.
I never got caught by the po po.
Yet I felt so low
Only focusing on my dough 
And why those guys wanted to hurt me.
Little did I know;
God could make me worthy.
No, I ain't talkin' for them.
The man I'm talkin' about was Him.

But with Jesus faith is a must.
Faith like a mustard seed says the Bible I read,
Freed,
'Cause before I was in the wrong race.
Back it up before I pop you.
Give me my space.
Clenchin' fists,
Throwin' hits till someone,
 Make me walk away.
After all these years
I got to the right place.
Finally in the running of a true race.

Watchin' for the boss and
When He's coming back.
Believin' He give me everythin'
I need and lack.
Havin' one foot in
Will just keep me stumblin' back.
Then He'd rather have me just step back.
Not 'cause He doesn't want me.
You see it's if I want Him.
He wants me getting brighter, not growin' dim.
Advancin' the kingdom by sharin' Him.
But I ain't here to try to persuade you
Or to try and sway you away with whim.

No, this is serious.
God brought me joy,
Delirious
'Cause I found His
Love so intoxicatin'
And now you find me lovin' the ones who hurt me,
Yeah, the ones who are hatin'.
I'm just statin',
I ain't baitin'.

But nothing's gonna shut me up from speakin' the truth.
'Cause I used to be datin' sin.
Now I'm waitin' like Ruth.
I'm gonna show Him
I'm a Proverbs 31 woman 
And I ain't foolin' with this sin.
That's 'cause Christ died on the cross for all of them.
I'll continue livin' right,
Walkin' by faith and not by sight
Till I die.
Why?
Like I said it was for my sins that He died.
Now He lives again and I glorify.
I ain't livin' high on those pills
All 'cause after Christ I found what was real.

Proverbs 16:18

Proverbs 16:18

By: Elaina Morgan

Enemies will never quit it, get it.
They let themselves be blinded by those lies, 
Ruined by their pride.
But they have nothing good to offer.
Just let your answer grow a little bit softer.
Their only focus is on how to make you "better."
Try to cover who you are like a heavy sweater.
They know of no such thing as a true love letter.
They say they only want the best for you.
But they only want what they think's due.
Those aren't the models you want to be looking up to.

They puff it up.
Puff you up.
Take you down.
Like a city rundown.
Kind of like Motown, they represent the D.
But they're only representin the bad seeds, 
No, not me.
They're lackin good deeds.
Goal's to try to make you bitter 
Coating every ugly thing in glitter.
They stalkin every single move you're making on your Twitter.
I'll give them one thing.
They ain't quitters.

They think they able
Layin everythin on the table.
They think they tough,
Arrested in cuffs, 
They quick to lie, homicide.
Won't get caught. 
Or so they thought.
Think listening to us will make them weak.
They goin 'round week by week.

It's the same ol thing. 
They wanna drink.
They wanna shed blood.
Tell em about the one who shed His blood.
Pause.
Wasn't for a lost cause.
Wasn't ours.
Yet He gave it so willingly.
I hope I'm makin sense lyrically.
Stop the stupidity
Start goin prodigiously.
Always sayin go big or go home.
Well where's your home?
I hope you know.

Love Changes Everything

Love Changes Everything

By: Elaina Grace Morgan


We're too consumed with judging other people's sin
When we need to remember we were once there with them.
No judgement changed us, sustained us.
It only shortchanged us
But then we go and do that to one another like we forgot what it felt like.
We start showing dislike.
By that they're only a confirmation of their condemnation,
An abomination.

No, what does God's word say?
Because of His love the price was already paid.
So stop delaying what God already said.
Stop weighing all of the fabric of their sin
'Cause they won't realize that they'll win 
If they turn from it accepting Him.
It was His love that changed us,
You know Jesus?

His love turned things around.
Thorns as a crown,
Beaten to the ground
He did it willingly.
On such a ghastly day
We killed Him in such a nasty way.
But just as he promised He rose in three days
In such a glorious way.
Now how are they going to see their life changed
In a way that glorifies His name
If all we do is shoot a lofty glance,
Cast a look off like they don't even deserve a chance.

Well let me tell you,
 None of us do.
Yet He still made all of us brand new.
So why do you treat them like they're any different,
And so blatant?
The problem isn't with them.
It's with us.
Start showing love and stop throwing people under the bus

Because it's love that changed everything,
 If anything
And it's not our job to be disparaging.
'Cause that only breaks the church up
So instead start building one another up,
Lifting one another up in prayer.
And start showing people that you really, truly care.

Loyalty

Just wrote this poem about a month ago. I like to express myself through poetry so I thought I'd share some more recent ones with you all.



Loyalty

By: Elaina Grace Morgan
I’m loyal, but I'm so sick of my heart being foiled,
From all the plans that you've coiled,
That's why I have left before my heart becomes the victim of theft.
This hurt can only wash out as easily as the dirt in your mouth.
My heart screams and shouts, no doubt.
You don’t care.
You’re blinded from everyone around you.
You’re too busy looking in the mirror.
You scheme to take every breath I drew.
Maybe take a stab at my heart or two.
The only person you care about is yourself, your health, your wealth.
Now I know the reason for your stealth.
I’m done with those lies.
I have no need to ask why
Because no reason’s sufficient
For why your love’s deficient of what anybody needs,
These lies keep growing like weeds.
Indeed, I should be done with you.
Who cares if I love you?
I deserve someone who loves me
And the only way to be free from you is to leave you be.
