Can I still pray? by Banji Coker









So here is the thing

I sometimes find it hard to believe

Believe in what they preach

Believe in what they say to me

I have no trust in the gatherings

I don't even read the good book

I'm on a road but I don't know leads

They say it leads to destruction, they ask why I'm bent on being a foe

But I feel kinda of lost

I feel like am far gone

And sometimes the weight of the world can be too much

So what I'm asking is

In all in all

When I am down of my luck

Can I still call on His name

And not end up being judged

Cos I'm a good person

And I don't mean to brag

But something isn't right

It seems like a system of lies

That pushes hate instead of following our hearts

Well I'm not gonna delve into that

Cos none of that isn't concern

The things is I just don't enjoy the vibe

I get when they stare me down, if I try to put on some swag, do something new or something different, it's like am in a box

But I feel kinda of lost

I feel like am far gone

And sometimes the weight of the world can be too much

So what I'm asking is

In all in all

When I am down of my luck

Can I still call on His name

And not end up being judged

I believe in the higher power

I really what to have a conversation

Speak to him directly

And not just swallow what they are saying to me

Get to tell to Him that

I feel kinda of lost

I feel like am far gone

And sometimes the weight of the world can be too much

Get to ask that

In all in all

When I am down of my luck

Can I still call on His name

And not end up being judged

happy anniversary

I sit and pounder how things were a year ago
how things have change
how people are not the same
how nothing is going to be like it was ever again
but most importantly I wonder
how I have become a totally different person
well I guess change is the only constant thing

aquiver

thoughts of you disturbs the soul
terrifying the spirit
with all the things not said
with all the left undone
I pounder upon your return
but I fear im not strong enough
to face my fears
to see your face
this is not love
this is not hate
this is uncertainty
caused by love once made
the only thing that remains
is the aquiver of the heart
