My Lowest Ebb

MY LOWEST EBB At my lowest ebb Trapped within life’s web The snares of life caught me off guard And I am let to believe there is a god The same god who is supposed to be my guard My hands are burnt from the fire balls life throws at me Void and empty like a vacuum A black star within the constellations unreflective to sun rays It’s all pitch black but my heart burns with emotions that enables Me to dance to life’s rhythm and sing hymns of hope And broaden my life scope I am a man therefore I am supposed to cope not elope I have been taken for a joke like a coke addict Though for I know it’s a superficial verdict Betrayed from my trusted precinct by plastic smiles While I was at it, I will get past it Their grin, green with envy as it overshadows my being Life has walked on me like a door mat, but my rage remains dormant Silent as the night, like a medieval knight I will conquer This life For I can see the light I am bound by the virtue of right

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." Be blessed.
