Only God Knows

by Paul Gondwe   Apr 7, 2012


I have always believed in me,
my abilities to conquer
my fears and
my desire and will to fight on

There are days i die,
lying on my bed
reflecting on my life,
what to do and what not

I see my life as having
a mission and yet
my mind still cant grasp
the objectives

What am i to do?
only God knows

    Hmm this was nice
    "I have always believed in me,
    my abilities to conquer
    my fears and
    my desire and will to fight on"

    this is a good start ,i personally find these the best lines in the poem too,
    "my desire and will to fight on"
    desire was totally gr8 placed here,shows u are very keen on keeping on the fight
    sometimes we just fight cause we have to but not cause we want to

    "There are days i die,
    lying on my bed
    reflecting on my life,
    what to do and what not"
    the imagery was gr8 , its like i can see the image of it from your words
    but at the last line
    add question mark at the end of it
    i suggest u change it to
    "what to do and what not to?" making more sense for me like that

    "I see my life as having
    a mission and yet
    my mind still cant grasp
    the objectives

    What am i to do?
    only God knows"
    i was kinda disappointed in these lines it was like they lost the hope and trust u had at the start of the poem .
    but Ending it with question was gr8
    makes me wonder what was i created to do

    over all this is a good piece, 5/5 keep writing =)

    ^This is an uplifting opening. To hear that one has full confidence and belief that one can overcome anything..liked that!

    There are days i die,
    lying on my bed
    reflecting on my life,
    what to do and what not

    ^Yeah there are days that I too have done that and thinking about all this just keeps me glued to bed..but it is while in bed that these thoughts come to us.

    I see my life as having
    a mission and yet
    my mind still cant grasp
    the objectives

    ^Our mind is a strong tool that it makes us feel that there are many things to accomplish it but where to start and how and what is the question. I like this part has it connects with the reader.

    What am i to do?
    only God knows

    ^Yes the almighty has everything planned out for us that we ourselves don't know what are his plans until it shows up!

    Liked this read and the many thoughts that was put across to the reader :)

    We may try to get answers for every single question that life brings in front of us but my personal experience says...let God answer some of those questions for me.
    As my every answer raises another question.

    As said before, you have a gift & i loved the way you expressed.

    all the best and take care
