Stand

I stand here as I am 
I do not attempt to deny or save face 
Still I seek his embrace 
Knowing not if this dream I chase is covered by his grace 
Still I stand 
Devising plans of success for everyone around me
Left alone to watch my people sleep 
Not wanting to change or bind the frame of your existence 
Rather you would want to miss this 
So you can claim you did not know 
Or could not see 
But he is the air you breathe 
Lie to me 
I will not cease to be 
But become a phoenix 
See this fire encompasses me 
And for all eternity id rather seek to find a king 
Then settle for this blasphemy being offered to me. 	
I have come to bring truth 
Motivation to the masses 
If and only if they seek to grasp it 
Understand being beyond a feeling  
Devotion rising above religion 
What is the point of it if you spend your nights whipping tears from your eyes 
That is not the mercy that has been promised to me 
Nor will I sit here believing I can fly when I have not the wings to carry me 
Like the dwindling of a legacy 
The empire falls 
Even when it is hidden behind four walls 

Because if I am not good within me 
who can I be to the people he brings 
Ask yourself what it means to be a saved 
To find a savior 
Consider the mind and its power 
And don’t loose sight of the hour 
We live in the last days pretending not to feel the change in the air 
Weeping of how it is not fair 
Yet and still forgetting  the connections of energy 
And we do surely dispense it 
Then try to forget it 
But it follows and soon enough we feel hollow 
And so I ask what is there left to be saved? 
Remember you have to be the change!

Well done Amber, this shows a consistent line of thought, of introspection, leading to the conclusion = be the change you want to see in the world. Keep up the good work.

Cathartic outpourings penned with dexterous candor and poetic finesse...

Because if I am not good within me who can I be to the people ...// it's an introspective line

This is pronouncedly true, Amber. Great write especially this part: "We live in the last days pretending not to feel the change in the air Weeping of how it is not fair"
