An Eye For An Eye

Arms stretched wide, I welcome none
I look to no one for I am lost
And cannot obtain the soul in which you so strongly desire from myself
I am pitying
Yet all knowing to I
So how can I still remain as clueless as the beginning of time

Deny thy name, and come forth with your rage;
You can unshackle these sins that are lodged so deeply in my being
Instead
You choose to tease me with such contempt, that I fall deeper into limbo

I am stuck in a never ending slumber

When shall this nightmare cease to be so,
Of unworthiness so worthy of being within me?
Thou are retched, and thou are heartless
Yet thou are still clueless as ever. Much like myself. 

I pray to the all knowing god, for I truly know nothing
But you find reason to commend me in this broken age.

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."
