~ (~) ~ No Different ~ (~) ~
"What is difference?"
I hope, cry for peace,
just as I feel anyone would...
joy,
love.
Some times I feel it, hopeless... helpless,
as I'm sure you do too.
Desire, mercy, forgiveness,
freedom from pain,
the warmth,
grace of a good friend.
I wonder about Him, God?
Why would He allow all this confusion in the world, wars,
the insensitiveness, prejudice, "the adherence-to, belief in, the-illusion-of-hate"...
that it alone will save,
closed... mindedness... .
Under pretenses that are sometimes untrue,
I lie, bash, hurt the people that I love,
to protect, myself, hurting...
myself.
Only myself,
wondering time and again why still,
I feel, so alone.
Yes I desire peace so much this Christmas,
for me, you, everyone.
Yet I fight, I kick,
push-the-idea-of Him away-from-me,
any way that I can,
I can be quite, sick.
God, who is He,
what reason,
why does he allow me to do this?
I can only figure that my pain, shame...
is just one catalyst, of the many,
so I can run to Him, again,
learn, grow,
see for myself His offering, of this.
Yes letting me know,
I need it, like I would assume you do too,
friend,
a union with Him,
the certainty,
is something alone-myself...
I just can't bring.
If you can understand any part of this,
join me friend,
we are no different.
