Little bird in the rain

Bird !!

Is it cold out there?
Are your little feathers okay?
Did you lose your family on your way?
Or did you want to come out to play?
Little bird out in the rain how is your day?

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist

Don’t tell me you love me

It is hard to accept love when all you ever know is pain. – A.J

LOVE

Don’t tell me you love me
I can’t reciprocate
Don’t tell me you need me, all I’ve ever learned was to walk away
I’m no good at displaying my emotions
So don’t tell me to say what I want to say
Don’t beg me to stay 
I Will only disappoint you anyway
Don’t come looking for me when I disappear.
If I wanted to be found I’d leave a trail
Don’t try to save me
Not everyone needs to be  saved
Sometimes I just need to feel the pain
If I get lost in the woods
Don’t call out my name
I will not answer to your pain
I know I sound selfish, but I need my space
I can’t keep bleeding on innocent people
So don’t, I  beg have you
When I’m ready I’ll return
If I’m lost I’ll ask my way around
If I need saving I’ll try my best to show
I guess what I’m trying to say is don’t tell me you love me and you care

1 Peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist
