Keeping Distance

I feel so distant from the truth
I feel so far away from reality
I feel so hated by the world, by Christians, by life
I feel so rejected by everything, everyone

God use me
God teach me
God love me
God care for me

From the Xanga Vault originally written February 2005:

Apology

Apologize, but why?
I’m not wrong for thinking

Having an opinion doesn’t make me wrong
Differences are what make us

Saying sorry doesn’t make the pain go away
The hurt still remains the same

If time truly heals all wounds or just causes us to forget
It still won’t stop

So respect me and I’ll respect you
But don’t expect an apology out of me

About the poem: This poem is written to show my view on what apology often are. It’s not to say that I’m always right or that my opinion is the only one. It’s more of a poem to make you think.

In a World Of Somedays

Someday this
Someday that

Sometime this
Sometime that

What will ever get done?
If all we do is keep on putting things off

What will be come of this world?
If all we do is keep on procrastinating

What will be accomplished?
If all that happens is we say “I’ll do it later”

Why can’t we just suck it up and do stuff?
Then maybe we can change this world

Wake Up

This is a poem I wrote based off of a conversation I had with a friend about how sometimes our lives feel like a never ending dream and we reach for things that we will never be able to have. How we scream but it feels like nothing comes out or no one hears us. This is just a poem about life sometimes.

I can’t break free from this dream
I can see the end, it’s so close
I’m running, chasing, pursuing
I scream but nothing comes out, not even a shout
I need to wake up from this reality

Gray

The color of the sky reflects my state of mind
Gray and gloomy, if you only knew me

You say you see right through me
But there’s more than meets the eye

I’m really not a bad guy
It just takes time to view me
