Insecure, Illuminating Ill-Tempered, Invigorating Icicle I Once Was

I’m stronger than I realize,
I’m not alone
And I’m not a failure

I am focused on the prize -
God’s Kingdom today, though I’m on my own
Feeling like a Jailure

I was brave enough
Life can be quite rough
I was courageous to the touch
Nothing much is happening and such
I was courageous to the touch
Life can be quite rough
I was brave enough

Melt away the shame that came to mind
Melt away the shame that tame the fervent, flattering flames
Melt away the shame that left me behind
Melt away the shame that take the blame with nostalgic names

I am like a candle in the windstorm
I am as crazy as a daisy in its dorm
I am like a handle of the stove again
Wondering where you been? You been?

I am a flamboyant flamingo amongst the many in the fields of evergreen
I am an ardent shark in the seas of radiance and I have seen the unseen
I am numb as the bread crumb on the ground in which you step upon
I am the dusk before the dawn, the dusk before the dawn

I see Ghosts in the fire in my heart
I dance with desire from the start
I see Ghosts in the fire in my heart
I prance with ire like my work of art

I like to be like the glitches of your game
I like to put to shame all the  you put me through
I like to be like the stitches in your heart strings
I like to be as surreal as the ocean waves of red and blue

The reflections and shadows of our lives
Have arrived undone in our bees’ hives
Regret accumulates in my mind’s eye tonight
I will fight the good fight with delight with my might, for I’ve been in the right because it’s all black and white

Inhale...exhale...
I am a cat without his tail
Exhale...inhale...
I realize that I don’t fail,
But I exceed at what I do
But I succeed at what I do
But I precede with what I do
But I lead with all I can do
I breed away the sorrow
There is yet another tomorrow
There is yet another tomorrow

Everyone must come together, together
But, remember this, we are like each other
We are similar, not different
We are the same, not ignorant

I soak in all the tension...
The apprehension...
The sensation...
Of dire delusion...
I soak in all the tension...
The descention...
The ascension
Of me in worldly detention

Let me fade away the sheltering solitude
Shed away the shimmering bliss and renew me again with even better happiness
I want to still have the attitude of gratitude
Fed with fret, yet regret won’t let me be? I am such a mess of distress, distress, distress

I hate myself,
Yet I Love myself
I’m confused to the core
Remove the foreskin of faithlessness inside me
Remove the foreskin of faithlessness inside me
Drain away the dimensions of damage from Satanic desire
Replace the rain with sunshine and truth away the liar inside me and lift me higher

I’m a passionate poet
I bet you didn’t see this poem coming...I am still alive and burning on like a scorching flame of sweet, sweet sage
You want to bet?
I’m becoming someone else...overcoming
The remedy of rage and transforming it into a set-me-free cage

Melt away the free speech of hatred on Earth
God, replace it with Mirth...
Arrest my arrogance and turn the other cheek at humility and what it’s worth
Melt away uncertainty at these times
Shine bright and brilliant like American dimes

I’m an icicle in the cave
The cave of be-brave
The cave of be-brave
The cave of keep going...
The cave of moving on...
The cave and rivers aflowing...
From dusk to dawn
Keep treading the road of lovely recovery
You are free like a blessed bird of liberty
Keep heading the beautiful dirtroad of Arizona and stand vigilantly tall
Keep beheading the bodies of lies...and stand in awe of Him all and all

We all need repentance and draw on the canvas of dreams with me
We all need acceptance and you are flawless as hell as you can clearly see
You need to forgive yourself and let your wings fly oh so free
I need to give in to joy and peace with the best of my ability

Diligence and elegance is what I am
Gracious and cheerful is what I am
Happiness and positivity is what I am
What about you, God’s wandering lamb?

You melted away the ice from me
You froze me in place pretty vacantly
But, I was walking on thin ice for so long
I was running away from the price of singing many-a-song

Tranquility and glory is what I need
Pain and suffering equals no greed
But, empathy...
A little slice of sympathy as well as your liberty
To set us all free
To set us all free
To melt away the ice inside our souls
To make our darkness beautiful
To make our darkness beautiful
Triggered by the distress and bubble space
Triggered by the success of a lack of grace

Molested by mesmerizing moodiness...
Thick skin is what I have, regardless...
Apparently, you have no feeling
Dealing with your own hardships that are quite appealing...

I apologize for everything that I say
I apologize for living day by day
What more can you expect of me?
What more do you reject of me, baby?

Let go and let live and what goes around goes back around...
What’s been lost cannot be found...freedom of speech has made you captivity-bound...
I think this world is sick
You are acting like a prick

I’m sorry that I’m dealing with my own demons
But, allow the angels to pray away the...negativity
Difficulties and downfalls collide with my mindset tons times tons
Set me free...the toxicity of suicidal homelessness that won’t leave me be

Because I don’t feel at home at my own home
But, with You, I am at home
You broke the ice that tried to break me
You broke the ice that tired to break me
I’d like to thank you happily and tremendously and optimistically

Encouraging empathy elegantly and enjoying endurance elevatingly
Insecure, Illuminating Ill-tempered, Invigorating Icicle I once Was...unfortunately...
Social media is fighting by the second
I’m not fond of the violence; eventually, we will be spiritually making a bond

Was nervous,
Now excited
For that Kingdom forever
We need it more than ever...
