Poem
Can we please put down the gun? And try to see past our noses? We could try to live as one It's difficult to listen rather than speak and I know this But I also know as human beings Every time we look over our shoulder, We're all looking for the same thing We were supposed to be created in the image of perfection but we're flawed And every day feels like an infection, but that's the law Of human nature But here's a secret: It's only as bad as you make it The tears are draining down your face, and you think that you are mostly dead I know I'm lying in the same bed Right now Life, so full of things you think you're drowning There is sin and there is angels There's abuse and there is anger that rots inside But underneath it all there is a layer that has been broken Right now it looks like it's the last straw, But I promise it's a blessing it disguise And sometimes..I feel I should have just said good bye You're not the only one Who has stood outside in the dead of night and screamed at the rain Expecting an answer But only we can answer those questions Where is God when we look in the mirror? And what have we done to deserve the coffin full of lies and pain and shame that this life has shoved in the small spaces beneath our beds? "Why can't I sleep? What is wrong with me?
