Discernment
Discernment
The tears behind my eyes
The feelings in my heart
The frustrated thoughts I’m thinking
The war I’d love to start
The quiver in my stomach
The tremble in my hand
I can’t hide my perplexity
For I just don’t understand
And all of this created
The sadness in my soul
The anger that is teasing
The situation as a whole
It’s the pounding hurt I feel
Disappointment, unbelief
My contributions were much more
Than what I now receive
But feelings should not be allowed
To stray and have their way
So let me quickly bite my tongue
And gulp what I would say
Discernment is virtue
Though it’s tough, to say the least
But if temptation wants to tackle me
Then I’ll show her who is beast.
