Im There

These coats that fly about me as tears bleed from my face. I fight and tare them away from me as I fight to get free from this maze. The dark terror of these pages they put in line putting us in our places not to even to be free in our minds, they insist on painting our faces. Never to question never to dance never to desire a new place a new dress. They have painted mahogany walls that wax us all in telling us our place and if we rebel where to stand. Touch not my prophets take not the anointed ones hand. Though everyone who pulled on Jesus was given a drink of life in there hands. Who is this God of Israel you have created to haunt all there dreams. You have made me in your image you have made me the worst monster it seems. These that come to you they may get death or love based on your whim. Told its Gods choice and the poison of their sin. Its insanity the robes you seek to rap them in. They came to you for love they were seeking me as a friend. Only to be abandon when they needed someone in the dark. Told to give me everything but that those that are mine at best only give a small part. Hearing they are like me is it any wonder they flee would you trust your life to a villain that takes everything and in your darkest moments leaves? Would you love a villain like ive been made to be? Would you trust you if every time it got hard you would leave? I have been made something of greed and need and not of love and care. They are dying inside from false love and false friends. Greedy ones out for power and out when anything of eternal value comes in they hoard and spread only thinking of them. They come for love and get stings ,they come for light and they are given robes of thorns that rip them apart at the seems. You all laugh and chuckle and continue begging more from me. I see nasty spoiled children killing the ones I sent that are in need. You want me im hidden in there tears if you need me im with them crying cause as you destroy them you have been destroying me. I just asked you to love instead you are killing my love. I am walking away from your illusions of me. Im lying in the road dying im with them will you come find me before there is no hope for either of us in this world. You want fruit its hidden in the tears on this anguished road. They came for love let me in please they came for life they came to be free. I love them please stop lying that you know me as you trample on them. They came for love what are you doing to them?
