Mended

In spite of my previous state
I'm not who I use to be

I'm not hopeless in this world
I'm trying to grab ahold the future set before me

This is not my home
Just a temporary residence

I tend to get comfortable here
Yet to get where I'm going, it requires discomfort

I reside in myself too much
Yet I'm called to be unselfish

And I put myself down
When I'm called to humility

My hands grasp for meaning
When my efforts can't change that

I cringe at others' broken state
Yet I'm still being mended

I want to have...

Hope

Another Home

Comfort in Him

An Unselfish love

Humility

Assurance




I want to be...





Mended

[Running Slow]

I'm intending to go
Yet my feet don't move
My heart is soaring
Yet I am idled behind
(I'm going nowhere)

I'm crying from the bottom of my heart
Yet my tears don't come
I'm groping around in darkness
And yet I know where there is light
(I'm so blind)

I can't find a place where You're not
Yet I don't always acknowledge You're there
You're my everything
Yet everything in my life doesn't show that
(I'm so distracted)

I'm wasting precious minutes
On myself, a worthless pasttime
I'm going nowhere, yet I continue
I'm drowned in bitterness for myself
(I'm so selfish)

Lift my face to Yours
I ask You now
Don't let me take my eyes off of You
Don't let my heart stray
(Take these things away)

Residing Within...

Pride comes strutting in through a closed door
You weren't invited here
Your countenance lingers near
Yet you're never welcomed anymore

Anger slaps you hard in the face
Yet you remain ignorant to its sting
And you just keep on the broken wing
For reality flies here, at an incomprehensible pace

My bony knuckles hit the sandy foundation
Upon which you stand with your big head
Inside, your small thoughts embed
You sink deep beneath, under the congregation

Yet you set yourself high above
And try to pluck realities' strings
No sound resonates and pain it brings
You can't fit your incompetence in a glove

You slide easy, yes no such thing as friction
You're making up words with your tongue
And in the end it's going to get rung
And your life ends up one big contradiction

This hate resides and boils
There inside it accumulates
Inside, there it tolerates
Until my thought uncoils

Up from the deepest abyss
Comes this prolonged hope
One day it will surface, and cope
With the most dense bliss...

Love Contradiction

Going faster through this life
It will end at the speed of day
Love will escape
Your grip on it not so tight

So give it all to a soul
That's lost in the fight
That is too weak to win over fate
That can't pick up his bones

You can't pick up humility
You can't face the truth
So it faces you and penetrates
But you force it out

The truth's bind is a tight one
And you're fighting it's grip
You can't let go of your arrogance
And you can't deflate your head

It swells very swell
And I can't tell if you tell
This fight that you fight
If you don't care to care

No, I'm just losing my mind
When I look at your heart
It's fixed on a temporary find
No, not a diamond in the mine

Not the sonorous instrument in the symphony
Not to be found in secretive halls of insanity
No, under the floor boards
Rotten, and without a cause

Your incoherency is incomprehensible
And I'm just scraping the skin
Dig in, dive into shallowness
That's what busted my head

My head can't find a place
Where it can explore adventurously
No, it's no abyss
Just a empty shallowness

Love simply can't do this very thing
Not ever found in a sentence with shallow
No, unheard of, unless referring to what it's not
It's clearly ambiguous, looking at your definition

Amazing Antiques!

These are MINE! And I edited the pictures.
