Poem

So yeah, it’s just a few months later… and I’ve updated my blog (yay me).

I figured I should stop being lazy and just do something creative like I should be doing. Unfortunately I chose to do this while at work (tisk tisk), which means that I am still, in fact, lazy. Oh well. Actually I wrote the poem last night, so I’m only half bad. I was feeling sorry for myself at the time, which strangely enough seems to put me in a more creative mood – in a literary sense. I’m pretty sure though that some of the lines from my poem can be found in certain songs that I listen to – just a sneaking suspicion; and I assure you it was totally unintentional… “Every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief” (I think that’s from The Fly, by U2) so true.

Please feel free to comment/critique.

 For those who find the poem too hard to read in the pic – here it is:

 Inner mind darker still
  Thoughts define shape heart’s will

Anguished tears sting tired eyes
  My faults and failures I despise

Your truth it burns me, light reveals
  How wrong I am, how far from You
What’s the story? Love conceals?
  Or am I really something new?

Why does it have to be so hard?

Twisting words, interpretations, meanings
  Or is it all just meaningless?

But I know the truth
  that’s why I can’t evade
No giving in, doubt, fear
  I know what You’d say
He who has an ear, let him hear…

I know the way

I can’t deny You

Inner mind deeper still
  Thoughts renewed shape heart’s will
