Averting Observations
My head hurts
Stupid weather...always changing
Pressing in on me
Iron bars, clanging, banging
.........ugh! Can't THINK
This has been on me, for days
Like water in a wicker basket
Always draining, but always there
Maybe it's me
Why are THEY on my mind
THEY are gone, and I'm left to find
Something
While THEY move on...so not fair, THEY don't even care
....to KNOW me, anymore
FATHER of LOVE
I must have peace
Lead me to the place
Where I can fully release
THEM to LOVE
What!?!
Oh no! I know that
I can see it clearly
I have averted my eyes
From them
Judging the ones I hold dearly
...to a higher standard
................than I hold myself
Forgive me, and help me pray
Through compassion so that LOVE
.....will lead the WAY
..........to peace.
