[hometext] => Sorry this is quite long... just had a lot to get off my chest... and I know it isn't perfect... take it or leave it... at this point in time... I don't really care...
[bodytext] => I’m not sure what happened today All my blue skies sudden turned gray I died inside… not once… but twice And I said some things to someone I love that wasn’t very nice I hurt the rose of my heart… She withered away… then fell apart She said some things back to me That quickly cut me to my heart I just walked away… A tortured soul in burning flames I don’t know what to say or do anymore That’s going to make a whole hell of a lot of difference ‘Cause I’m damned if I do… I’m damned if I don’t I guess… I need to wake up to the reality Not everyone is like me A God fearing… forgiven sinner Lost… in a world of utter and senseless chaos I want to try and help save every lost soul I see I want them to know the love that God has for me I want to help God sow an unknown seed And help to cultivate it to grow So the love of God… they… too… can know I just need to wake up to the reality Some things… I guess… just aren’t meant to be Like loving some one… who doesn’t love you back Oh… I’ve certainly have been on that track I am not the perfect soul Not by a long shot… I have made my share of mistakes and screwed up alot I am just a wanderer Wandering this old earth Finding along life’s way Many lost souls… with nothing in their hearts to say For they have never heard The story of the babe… or His lowly birth It’s a story that through the ages has been told And for centuries has not gone cold But I’ve got to wake up to the reality Some people don’t want to open their eyes and see The child that has been born Who would soon wear a crown of thorns Nails to pierce His hands and feet would soon be driven And His side would soon be riven From a lowly manger to a cross He would soon die for those souls at a loss He would pay the ultimate cost For all the sins of the lost To wipe away all their hidden guilt and blame To wash away all their unknown shame So they won’t have to walk in life’s eternal flames But… I need to wake up to the reality Not everyone is like me A God fearing... forgiven sinner Lost in a world of utter and senseless chaos I just need to wake up to the reality Some things… I guess… just aren’t meant to be Some people don’t want a gift That’s freely given They want to struggle and live life by a knife They want to bleed… They want to die… For no rhyme or reason… Rejecting the unconditional love God freely gives in all seasons I just need to wake up to the reality… Not everyone is like me… Not everyone wants to know their Lord and Savior Not everyone has experienced His love and favor Not everyone has opened their blind eyes to see That God really does love them No matter who they are or what they’ve come to be Let them wake up to God’s stark reality… Life without Him isn’t life at all… Just a lousy imitation… That breeds lies and frustrations Where no love or truth can exist Just a black hole of festering malignant cysts That like a cancer spread quickly and grow To ultimately cause the untimely death of the unwilling soul Who would want to wake up to a reality such as this…?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
