All That

I've learnt so much
But stood so still

The love and peace
Of what's good
The hate and chaos
Of what's evil

Unable to move
To do all that
Has to be done

Alone in a solitude sanctuary
Facing the outside
Half dead, half alive

I'm in a daze
Gibbering like a madman
About what i think i know

From lying on this bed
I've managed to have
The whole world 
At my feet

I've managed to talk
To the wisest people
That are left unsung

But there's much more
To learn while i'm
The captive viewer

There's no quick cure
It's all very common
But still it devestates
My life
My future
My heart is breaking

Probably writing my future
After all of this
Left with nothing
Cold inside and out
But maybe
Just maybe

Now that i'm nearly gone
Nearly dead and alive
The point i'm resurrected
I'm left stricken to my bed.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
