YOU CAN GROW AGAIN

HEY GIRL!

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

I SAW YOUR TEXT THIS AFTERNOON

AND SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT

SO AM WRITING YOU BACK TO MAKE YOU FEEL ME

AND TO AIR OUT MY OWN FEELINGS TOO

SEE LIFE IS FULL OF UPS AND DOWNS

BUT YOU CAN BE SURE
THE STORM WOULDN’T LAST LONG

FOR I KNOW JUST HOW YOU FEEL

TO FACE DISAPPOINTMENT 
FROM THE SPHERE YOU NEVER THOUGHT

AND BEING RAPED BY THE ONE YOU FREELY TRUST

THEN YOUR FEELING IS DISTURBED

AND YOUR EMOTION IS WOUNDED 
AND THE MEMORY OF THE FACT THAT 
YOUR VIRGINITY HAS BEEN SOILED 
GETS YOU INSANE YOU PSYCHOLOGICALLY

AND YOU WISH YOU NEVER EXISTED

FOR WITHIN YOU GOES A WAR

A BATTLE SO SEVERE 
THAT YOU CONCLUDE TO CALL IT QUIT

AND YOU DINE WITH DEPRESSION 
AND GO TO BED WITH WORRIES

WAKING UP BEING SORROWFUL 
THAT THE NIGHT DIDN’T BURY YOU

YOUR ENVIRONMENT MAKES YOUR HEART SORE

FOR YOU DETEST IT WITHIN 
THAT YOU CAME ALONG FROM THERE

FOR YOU ALSO PARTAKE OF THEIR CHALLENGES

BUT THIS I WANT YOU TO KNOW

AS ONE DAY MY GOING TOO

GOT ME THINKING 
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

TURNING ON MY SEARCH LIGHT

LOOKING FOR THE WAY OUT 
OF THE STUFF AM HOOKED WITH

THEN FROM ISA.53:1-3

THE LORD WHISPER TO MY HEART

“BEING IN THAT FAMILY THAT RAISED YOU UP

HAS MY SIGNATURE ON IT

YES I SIGNED YOU THERE

AND THOUGH YOU MAY NOT HAVE CONTROL 
OVER THINGS HAPPENING AROUND YOU

BUT YOU CAN TAKE CHARGE 
OF WHAT GOES ON WITHIN YOU”

THEN I UNDERSTOOD THAT WHERE YOU ARE FROM

OR WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH

NEVER MADE YOUR HEART

FOR THOUGH THE PLANT IN THE PASSAGE

GROW FROM A DRY HARD AND HARSH BACKGROUND

YET IT NEVER LOOSE IT MIND

FOR IT HAS THIS TESTIMONY 

THAT IT STILL REMAIN TENDER

SO WITH ALL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH

I MEAN ALL THE FAILURES AND THE MISTAKES

YOUR REGRETS AND THE HAD-I-KNOWNS

THOSE PRIVY WARS YOU FIGHT ALONE

WITHOUT THE NOTICE OF ANYONE

WITH THE CHALLENGES AND SITUATIONS

THAT SPLASHES ON YOU

AS A RESULT OF BEING FROM WHERE YOU CAME FROM

YES THE REMAINS OF THE WARS OF YOUR PARENT

AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR FAILURES

AND THEIR MISTAKES 

THAT YOU BEAR TOGETHER AS A FAMILY

MAY NOT HAVE ANY INFLUENCE ON YOU

IF YOU GUIDE YOUR HEART

FOR THE CHOICE TO LIVE AGAIN

LIES IN YOUR HEART

SO MY LOVE

I WILL URGE YOU TO GROW AGAIN 

FROM YOUR DEAD SITUATIONS

BECAUSE THERE IS NO FUTURE IN THE PAST

SO DON’T GIVE UP AND KILL YOURSELF

I HAVE DISCOVERED

WOUND CAN HEAL AGAIN

BROKEN HEART CAN MEND AGAIN

AND YOU CAN REWRITE THE FUTURE

BUT THIS ONE LIFE YOU HAVE

DON’T TAKE IT AWAY

FOR SUICIDE IS NOT THE WAY OUT

IT'S AN ESCAPE ROUTE FOR ‘LOOSERS ONLY’

YOU ARE MORE THAN EVENTS

SO LIVE BEYOND THE UNWANTED

AND DON’T BE BITTER ABOUT LIFE

NOR REFUSE TO TRUST AGAIN

BUT LIBRATE YOURSELF FROM WITHIN

FOR GOD WILL GIVE YOU DOUBLE 

FOR ALL YOUR TROUBLE

AND BEAUTY FOR ALL THE ASHES OF THE PAST

IF HE CAN MAKE A LIFELESS AARON'S ROD TO BUD AGAIN

AND BRING FRUIT OVERNIGHT TO EVIDENCE HIS CHOICE

THEN YOU CAN BE SURE HE IS UP TO SOMETHING

CONCERNING THE ISSUES OF YOUR LIFE

KEEP LIVING FOR THERE IS HOPE IN YOUR END

THE REASON WHY THE OPERATION DIDN’T KILL YOU

THE ACCIDENT DIDN’T SWALLOW YOU UP

THE REASON WHY THOSE DRUG 

REFUSE TO KILL YOU THAT NIGHT

AND THE BULLET NEVER BURY YOU

THE REASON WHY SOMEONE SHOWED UP 

TO RESCUE YOU WHEN YOU HANGED YOURSELF

IS BECAUSE YOUR PURPOSE REFUSED YOUR DEATH

NOTHING HAPPEN TO YOU 

OUTSIDE THE DETAILS OF YOUR PURPOSE

YOU ARE GOD’S CHOICE

HE SINGLE HANDEDLY ELECTED YOU TO LIFE

WHEN ALL HELL HAS VOTED YOU OUT OF EXISTENCE

AIN’T YOU GLAD YOU MADE IT TO THE DAY

THROUGH THOSE DEEP AND DARKEST NIGHT

THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH

YOU HAVE MORE REASONS TO LIVE

IF THE HOT THICK DARKNESS

ENHANCES THE GROWTH OF A SEED

IN THE BELLY OF THE EARTH

AND JUST A SCENT OF WATER CAN REVIVE

A CUT DOWN DEAD TREE

THEN YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE STORM

IS HERE TO MAKE YOU GROW

GO THROUGH YOUR NIGHT SEASON AND DON’T GIVE IN

FOR THE HOPE TO GROW AGAIN LIES WITHIN YOU

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR INSIDE 

AND ALWAYS REMENBER

THAT NO MATTER WHAT THE SITUATION MAY BE

YOU CAN GROW AGAIN.
