~ Walls of Flesh ~
Life isn't just what is seen in a pretty picture,
But the secrets buried from within the
walls of our flesh, and hidden deep inside,
Intellectually we stand tall, body held strong
by the back bone of our pride,
While we battle the constant thoughts of the
conscious mind,
Unable to see the whole picture because
we are blind.
What if we crossed the wrong bridge,
or took the wrong street,
Should we prepare ourselves for
lies and deceit?
Instead of what makes our heart beat?
Trying to look prettier everyday,
but still perfect in God's eyes,
Inside we still burn with secrets and lies,
Still trying to control in their heart
what lives or dies,
How do you deal with those whose mind
has taken over their lives?
Behind the walls of flesh is where they hide.
We don’t have time to let anyone else in,
So our lives are basically pretend,
We hold up a shield that's made of tin.
Some people can't handle the struggle,
so their thoughts drive them insane,
But still strong, holding onto the pride
while showing no pain.
Then what happens to the one's who are
weak and can't stand alone without pride?
Will they just disintegrate and die?
Will the secrets and pain eat them alive?
Our soul is eating it's flesh from within,
trying to survive,
Wanting to escape from behind the walls
of where they hide.
The pain from our past,
Has forced us to wear a mask.
Deliberating the differences of the
pro's & con's,
The scale tips, unbalanced decisions of
right or wrong,
Those who are lost, searching for their place in
this world and where they belong.
Life isn't just what is seen in a pretty picture,
But the secrets that burn from behind the
Walls of our flesh, and hidden deep inside,
Body held up by the back bone of our pride.
So why can't we break down the walls of our flesh
and let everyone in?
No matter their differences, no matter their sin?
Because as humans we are afraid of possible hurt,
And that is no reason to treat them like dirt.
To be the person that you were created to be,
Take a chance to just break free,
Convince our soul that its okay to finally breathe.
Reach inside yourself and decide,...
' Inside these walls of flesh, I NO LONGER HIDE ! '

Shannon Rohn Poem
I am what's constant to your brain,
I know you want me, but I can't feel
your pain,
I am what mentally keeps you insane,
And the pleasant of your words are
in vain,
I am what makes you so blind,
Not even your heart can leave me behind,
I am what stays on your mind,
You'll feel me, when you've been hit in the
back of the head,
I am what makes you fall, 'cause it's you
I want dead.
I am what gave up your life,
Everything you had, even your wife.
But don't be afraid,
It was an even trade,
I am the sacrifice you've made,
It's the little one's who needed
you to pray,
Instead you let them astray.
I am not what's wrong, but right,
I am the anger that makes you fight.
I am what's wrong,
But where you belong.
I am what makes your cries fade,
And the sun shade,
I am what makes the hurt go away,
But I am the game that you like to play, &
What brings you back everyday,
Once the pain is gone,
I AM what makes you strong,
I AM not what you give,
I AM the greed,
I AM not what you want,
I AM what you need,
I AM not what you see,
But what makes your heart weak.
I am what made your life drain,
I am actually the cause, & blame,
Of what drives you insane,
I am the hidden soul that makes
your blood bleed,
I am the addiction they call "SPEED".
