A Delirious Drag

Your scars from the past will soon heal… There are more and more blessings to reveal Wondering where have you been hiding In the shadows in which you were abiding? I apologize for being a delirious drag… Now, I’m speechless to say the least, friend of mine Life is like the childhood game of tag Who’s it? The beauty or the beast? Feeling confused has never been so fine… Been pushed out of the margins all my life, but I’ll be just fine… Even though all I have left was truly not mine, So I’ll just wait in line… Humility is hard to find in a world of greed and arrogance What about I buy myself a faithful and foolish-free fragrance? I need a shoulder to lean on during these hardships I face I need to wake up from this nightmare I’m in…hidden from my trace… But, it will melt away into His grace… I need to embrace my pace during this race… I’ve been in a bewildered state and I have no clue why Sometimes, I feel the urge to sit down and cry…my tears are running dry…I resume on, living this lie with a sigh… No! Not now – I can’t just give up and give in to a failure mentality! I got to have my head up above the surface of negativity I need relief from this grief… I need to breathe; a will to survive, so let me go… I need a brief moment of ‘me’ time...it’s not always ‘you’ time…good grief… I want you to know I love you so although, I need to let you know – I’m so fed up with the lies you tell me on a daily basis I see right through them so clearly now…the truth will see to it in a bit You are deceived by thinking you’re in the light when you in the abyss… Hey, I won’t even listen to your rambling and your every childish fit We’ve been both in a delirious state Sorry for pointing fingers at you quite often… Maybe it’s fate that we both understand where we both stand and each of us can pull our own weight All of this will be over…just count to ten… 1-2-3-4-5 Be brave, for we survived! We are alive! 6-7-8-9-10 We are like Daniel out of the lion’s den… I don’t remember a lot, but I recall you and how we were happier back then… I was like the most enthusiastic poet with his quivering, motivated pen! I don’t know where my old self has been or where yours has been, But I know now that I have grown stronger with adequate discipline You’ve got me in a trance by your eloquent, elegant dance You’ve got my head spinning ‘round and ‘round by luck’s chance You really know how to enhance my manias and low points to a certain degree The words I spill out for your eyes to see will never explain what is on my mind, concerning you and me… However, I’ve somewhat put my point straight across for the most part We aren’t the only ones, witnessing our dazed frame of thought, slowing fading away – God will take heart and mend our scars of the past, tearing us apart Just put it in His hands and He will take care of it I don’t mean to act bitter and unreasonable to you lately You still have your attitude of gratitude and your wit I don’t mean to act hostile or anything of the sort frankly Your memories in this lifetime are spinning like a hamster wheel There are more and more mysteries and clues thereof to unfold Wondering if I hurt your feelings in any way Or is it my fault that you’ve been hiding away? I pray we’ll no longer be a delirious drag We can share our problems and solutions if you don’t mind Our worries are like the exhaustion of jetlag I just don’t want to lose our trust or fall further behind I apologize for being a delirious drag… Now, I’m speechless to say the least, friend of mine Life is like the childhood game of tag Who’s it? The greatest or the least? Feeling scatterbrained has never been so…painfully…fine Oh God, just show us a way out of this fuzzy frame of mind… Give us a sign or we’ll be on the road of Left Behind Let the time of our lives unwind… While we move forward from a discouraged mind… Let the uncertainty of our lives fade to gray, For we have better days ahead and we will say what we need to say Let’s make sense in what we say Let’s live life happily in no dismay Let’s be like the shining sun in May For, summer will melt away Winter’s disarray

The mood swings here are incredible, but there is a thread of "searching to understand" that runs through it all. Powerful verse over all. But (there always a but in writing), I think a little editing is in order: to separate the wheat from the husk. JH
