Reformed But Dead

REFORMED but DEAD
So, so reserved and cold..
devoid of feeling, emotion
denied ,contained,held back
within..as if to express or
praise aloud were a greater sin.
Soso reserved and cold..so
transparently a veneer..so
thin...missing His point..
Love expressed..the flipside
of our sin.
So,so reserved..and false..
a facade..where thoughts
are held back,left unsaid
..so so sad..are those who,
without a doubt..are saved
reformed,even,..yet..remain
emotionally dead

You may hear me recite my PS poetry on YouTube under my pen name ichthychiro

Sadly, this could be about many who somehow cannot break down their barriers they have built so well. Well done, Brian
