Forever

So much lies in your surrender

5000 souls behind your Yes

Beauty for ashes when you bow

Feet that bring good news as you kneel



All because He is kind and

His hope is forever

That you would be His forever

But didn't

  It’s as if I know It's as if I know our paths crossed by accident somewhere somehow one of us should’ve walked away but didn’t.

As soon as I felt the fatigue,  cough and headache I took myself to Dr Yee Chief in flagstaff.  She told me all she knew,  checked my breathing and wrote some scribbles  on a paper, encoded life that  only the pharmacist could decipher I don’t know why I  didn’t rush there this time See, when you first realize that you might have a mental illness Your immediate reaction isn’t to go see Dr Yee Chief in flagstaff It’s not due to the weather, who’s probably tired of  being blamed left, right and centre here in Suva. You don’t even google search the symptoms cos google might tell you you’re dying and you might like it.  Depending on anything and nothing, you sit there thinking, this makes sense and no s...
