Poem
I jumped through hoops Landing in your abyss I heard the snap crackle pop of my inner ear My ossicular chain breaking in three As I relinquished the best of me You stood above me In silent laughter Tossing your dagger Thinking you made your point Yet I was not struck with all your force I had fallen almost beyond your reach Deafened, I could no longer listen to you preach I was afraid you might follow Thankfully, you held tightly to your golden rings Stood proudly on your soap box Thinking detergent would make you clean The soap of ego only compounded you sin Layers of huberous concealing human skin I wished to forget you My Houdini like task Instead there were questions I needed to ask Wanting desperately to see beyond your mask Would it heal me if you answered them all Brick by brick dismantle your wall So that binding restraints could begin to fall Is there a place beyond the abyss For so long I have longed for this Sadly some wishes don't come true Questions asked, could not be answered by you I don't know how I'm supposed to feel You're the bent spoke in my life's wheel Bending my mind as it goes around A broken ear can hear no sound I needed to look in a different place The healing came from another's Grace I looked upon my Savior's face Now these ears hear a symphony Inner music now flows from me I learned who I was born to be Not a slave constrained, I can hear and see It was preordained I was destined to be free I found consecration on bended knee
