This river

“This river sets me free.” – A.J

This river washes away my sins
Sins the naked eyes don’t dare to see
It washed my sins away and convinced my mind they are no more sins
A river so deep it covers the very thought
It flows into the Nile and floats in the Jordan
Parade in the Dead Sea,
Before moving along
It washes sins the very flesh has no justice to forgive
Find its way to the Pacific that dares not to mix with the Atlantic
It holds secrets I never unveil
Burn secrets and drown them with a wave
This river knows more than my mouth will say,
And more than my body portrays

Amos 5:24  But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

Don’t be a pessimist be an optimist

I am alright

“Nothing beats a great smile, and a lie so convincingly that you don’t even think twice.” A.J

They will never know you die if you fake a smile.
Never know, you hate life if you act alright.
They will never question if you’re alright,
If you helped them all the time.
They will never know if you come first all the time,
That you wish you could feel light,
As a feather that wanders through the night,
Stopping at places, you would never have to think twice,
‘M I am going to die or will I stay alive?
Will they find out my deepest secrets if I keep lying, I’m alright.

NOTE: I hope everyone who is reading this is doing alright, in these hard times with the lockdowns after lockdowns. I know it is not easy for our mental health, so please check on the people around you, even the ones with the biggest smile, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. LOTS OF LOVES - A.J  PS:  HOW IS THE COVID-19 SITUATION IN YOUR COUNTRY? Mine is on lockdown until the 30th of April.

Don't be a pessimist be an optimist.
