The Answer to the Question Where Are You?
2010 WDelany
Can you find me?
Clothed in layers and layers
Of heartaches I'd bared
After all these years and years
Of tears and frustration
Standing, patiently waiting
You'd find me
There trapped in a maze
Of both mediocre and hectic days
Used against me like a weapon
Entangled, inchoate searching
For some sort of direction
My personal hell became a comfort zone
Because at least it was my own
And every excuse to not change applied
Pity-parties shared made others subscribe
To my shaken perception
My spirit awaiting resurrection
Would count the tally marks
Like the wall of an inmate's cell
Trapped in my personal hell
Still, in my reality it was the only thing consistent
Challenging myself to not be resistant to change
I began to explore what I say
And the error of my ways
Discovered we all want change instantly
It takes hard work, perseverance and longevity
Prayer, faith and spirituality
What happens when what was once comfortable
Becomes intolerable
When what you believe and is pleasurable
You realize is fallible
Do you stay where you are and suffer for all eternity?
Or do you decide enough is enough
This life is no longer good for me
I allowed prayer and meditation
To be my medication
An antidote to remedy my every situation
God loves me enough to cover me with mercy and grace
Nothing and no one could compare or replace
God never forgot my every request
Just required me to reach for my best
Can you see me?
Letting go of past mistakes
Burying drama and old heartbreaks
Choosing where I go and where I stay
Consciously, each and every day
Shedding layers and layers
Of the tormented garments I chose to wear
In exchange for hope, self pride and growth
Because those are the things I am so worth
It's there you'll find me
