I felt pain
But I am at peace

My mind entertained doubts
But I feel clarity

I questioned my self
But I received an answer

I have a future

The struggle of now
The struggle of the past
And the insecurity of my mind

Weight that has no place on my shoulders

I will grow
I will love
I will be strong

I will unabashedly be me
Jacob Rosenberg Sep 2018
Behind your eyes is a mind that captivates me
Inside of you is a soul that inspires me

Every breath of air you take
Every kiss on my cheek
Every prayer you whisper  

You are proof that God is real

You are the best drug
Im addicted to the feeling

Chase the wind with me

Praise the king with me
Kneel while we pray

Laugh while we cuddle
Cry when we struggle

Sing songs with the wrong words
Do cartwheels in public

I want to see you be you

And I want to fall in love every time
Jacob Rosenberg Sep 2018
Clouds fall apart in an all familiar blue

Her hand on my shoulder

The sweetest of affirmations

Her lips

The open road

Beach hair and sandy toes

True love and loving companionship

The adventure of no true destination is the song of my soul

But to share that same soul

That is why I love you

The curiosity of insecurity

To witness the diminishing of ones self worth
With the hands of a pure or vile heart

To question morality in the face of false assurance

The hot lump of wisdoms coal burns my throat as I speak with icy truths

I cut my cheek with my razor tongue

I spit on my own shoes

My hair is in my face

Inward pronating toes as I feel my posture change

Shifting and ******* with my shirt

The eyes that peer hold the most power over me

God forbid I trust in the opinion of my lover

“Made for me”

But with so much to fix

White knuckles grip my palms
Wild greens catch my psyche

I will stand in the mud

Sing out of tune

Walk with a goofy gait

Smile in my crooked way

Embrace my family

Laugh as loud as I want

Kiss your forehead

And dance in the lightning storm

I’m thankful for my fear
It blesses me with open eyes
A heart that breaks and reminds me of a life to live

To kneel before my God

Insecurities in hand

Take my sorrows from my calloused palms

Surreal

I can feel it in the back of my skull
The struggle of taking a breath
The curiosity of my heartbeat

What is my soul holding onto

The restless unease
A drive that stops at dead ends
A hand around my neck

Words that have been spoken to soon

It has a name

I fear to speak it

To speak life into the void that I dance with so effortlessly

I call upon my father
so humble and so kind

Fear to speak the name of the devil

Pride to call the name of the creator

Guide me
Lead me
Protect me

My savior

Grey light filters through your window
Exposing a blue that I have been yearning to see in you

So softly you take a breath

To kiss your forehead
To grip your hand

Holding tightly to the fingertips

Nothing but truth has escaped my forsworn lips

To dance

To laugh

To live

A blessing in the most curious way
