Hello poetry...
I'm not sure what to say
it's been far too long
since I've
actually wrote anything
that matters.

Here and now, I've learned
only one thing since we
last spoke...
I regret all of the the words
that I ever I wrote.

And I wish they'd come home.
well, if I could describe what's going on inside,
I'd have to suspect it's somewhere in my mind
fluttering like a butterfly that's burning alive;
instead of a hearty soul, I've got a broken spine

this is my consequence, what?
I'll get what I deserve!
this is my consciousness, so what?
you thought it was yours?

and I screamed at you from the top of my lungs
as I apologized for the wrong that I'd done,
but you said you'd forgiven me; I was drunk
so to hell with you and all you said about love!

this is my consequence, what?
I'll get what I deserve!
this is my consciousness, so what?
you thought it was yours?

you're the victim of my vindictive, villainous spit;
with that kind of radiance, what would you expect?
I spat my venom with a velocity nearing regret
since you just sat there and handed back my pile of ****!

this is my consequence, what?
I'll get what I deserve!
this is my consciousness, so what?
you thought it was yours?
this is your consequence, why?
this you don't deserve!
this is your consciousness, why?
It's your words I heard!
It's your words I heard!
I'll get what I deserve!
I don't deserve a ******* thing..
no regret, or whatever

lost shot
that i fought
to take

i am
just a thought
in space

in time
I think I
will face

the truth
in my mind
deranged

i laugh
and i laugh
and laugh

at my
fortunate
mistake
There's a monster down deep inside
Locked behind bars and chains
I call him Sin, I imprisoned him
But he keeps screaming my name
"Master, why won't you set me free?
I only want to be your friend..."
"Because I let you go before
And we both know how that ends...

You use my hands to scream and shout
And my hands to hurt those I love.
Demon, I finally cast you out
With the power of my God above!"

O' Lord mend my fractured soul,
Unite my heart to fear thy name
Forsaken among the dead
Like the slain who lie in the grave
Thou hast put me in the lowest pit
In dark places of the depths
But even though I'm way down here
I worship you with every breath

Beneath this tower alone and lost
I am trying to find your face
I don't have the power to pay the cost
Undeserving of your grace

Forgive me
Forgive me
Forgive me
Based on Psalms 86 and 88
In my hour of desperation
I call out to you in my despair
Remove my self-condemnation
Please, God, hear my prayer
Fill me with your Spirit
Pour your grace onto me
Bless me with discernment
Give me the fruit of peace

Jesus
I found you
My King of kings
Jesus
I found you
Above all things

In my thanks, I praise you
And lift up your holy name
Your Word is love and truth
O' Ancient of Days
We give thanks for his lovingkindness
And for his wonders to the sons of men
Make me in Christ's likeness
For thine is the glory forever, Amen!

Jesus
I found you
My King of kings
Jesus
I found you
Above all things

Jesus
I love you
My Prince of Peace
Jesus
I love you
Above all things
For some of us
this is our salvation,
and for some of us
we'll just go back
out there and die.

In the short time
I have been here
I have a long road
ahead of me.

— The End —
