Peace Amidst the Chaos
The earth is spinning, everyday life is thriving
A news broke out, a pandemic is ongoing
Chaos ensued, people began to panic and hoard
The world changed in a blink, it’s as if it has pulled out a cord
Community quarantines by countries were imposed
Cafes, resorts, cinemas, and even malls were ordered closed
In a moment, the world halted and stood still
The pandemic however, was on a rampage, threatening people to kill
Millions had been affected, leaving countries to tend for themselves
Thousands kept in ventilators, supermarkets had empty shelves
Airplanes were grounded, so were the ships and buses and every transport
Wealthier countries tried helping by giving out support
The world is chaotic, it is full of troubles and fear
Every person holding on to life and anything they hold dear
Anxiety is evident in every person’s pair of eyes
Indeed, this is something no one imagined to arise
In this time of discord and mess, there’s still peace from above
One that makes one’s heart be at ease, a peace filled with love
Coupled with this comfort is a God-given hope
One that tells us that surely, this, we can cope
Into you, Lord, we put our hope and trust
The imbalance, chaos, and pandemic, to You we entrust
Please protect our front liners, please heal our land
Rid us of our every fear, embrace us with Your loving hands
Losing Dreams
I was once an innocent little girl
I dreamed a lot of things, things to achieve
I thought that once I grew, I'd get what I want
Things I had dreamt, things meant for me
As the seasons had changed, so did I
The dreams I had for myself, soon were gone
What people told me to do, I just do
What they want seemed to become what I "want"
As I loved and as I took responsibility
It seemed like I slowly lost the real me
I don't know now what I truly wanted
I don't know now, what future I had once dreamt for me
