he pushes me onto my knees
                       our father who art in heaven
i open my mouth for him
                      lord, i want to recommit my life, my heart to you
he holds my head in his hands and i take in all of him
                     you alone are worthy of all honor and praise
his eyes close and his head tilts back
                    he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you
                        by his love

i can feel tears running down my cheeks and i look up and capture his eyes
                   i saw the lord...lofty and exalted
his mouth tilted into a grin
                  make your face shine on your servant; save me in your
                         steadfast love

he pushes my head back and i come away with drool and tears dripping to the floor
                 now the works of the flesh are evident
i smile at him and my gaze demands his admiration
                for this is the love of god

The dreams I dream lay far away
I dream of them not night but day
They all would say
It’s child’s play
She’ll let it go someday

They would say it was not wise
Whilst avoiding my cerulean eyes
Lo, the stage it gave me butterflies
So from their naysaying I would abscise

Still their words I could not forget
So deep down I buried it
My being and self they split
I walked around a counterfeit
My misfit turned to hypocrite
I knew then I needed to recommit

This spirit will prevail
On a red carpet I will sail
All hindrances will be scaled
I will not fail
This is more than a fairytail
My dream and I, we are *dovetail
Joseph Perales Feb 2011
I don't sleep at night
I wouldn't dream of it
I used to love those dreams
but I just can't recommit

we've become estranged
and I only grow stranger
I'm my own worst critic
and my own biggest danger

I'm wrecked and I 'm reckless
I'm flawed and I'm fearless
I scream into the night
I hope someone hears this

this is my will
my everlasting testament
so paint it on the walls
etch it in the cement

"Hypothetically,"  hypocrisy has become the new democracy.
Socrates once said "You must break free from society",
Admittedly, that is not a direct quote.

Woe, oh, no I do not believe in aligning my stars
with your sharp minded attitude that controls me from afar.
Hardships ahead suggest that you best let go of your
previously consumed ideals and feelings and repeal from
the concave society that begs us to encourage our propriety.

Sigh, it seems that this community of this city
is stuck in a trance and they do not wish to be disturbed.
Well I'm perturbed by that fact, yet I act like I understand
the zombie-like trance that has taken hold of all that are breathing,
Leaving only a few confounded by the monstrosity of this reaping.

Keep me here, away from the stagnant ailment that has
an arrant grip on the throats of the blokes that were
ignorant enough to believe that indiscretion.

True, it's become my obsession to call out all that is nonsensical.
It's apocalyptical! Their anonymity is frankly mystical.
Their words seem to be lathed with mechanical phrases and verbs,
again I'm perturbed and what's even worse, is I find myself intrigued by their complete lack of identity that I can't make sense of me.

See? It's a seductive prospect to attempt to project yourself into
that cult, but as a result all your visions of freedom will dither
and wither into nothingness.

Although, they're courteous enough to let you keep your vanity,
but the rest of you, all your thoughts of clean and lucid dreams, are
reamed from your mind, wound down to a soft and empty grind.

My, you really should ignite a morsel of self-respect to check out
of this direct fog that is hogging any last bit of intellect.
Dissect one thought from the other and then you'll wonder
how to crawl out of this ignorant hole that has
swallowed you down, consuming your soul.

Pull yourself away from their depreciating ways.
Reintroduce yourself to free will and thoughts
so you can be brought back to life and maybe even have
a deeply un-contrived and well-thought about thought.

Be wise, snap back into reality and let gravity do it's job.
Throb goes your heart.
Did you feel that? That puncture in your chest?
It's doing it's best to let you know that you're alive,
high with breath on your tongue and in your lungs,
Filled to the seams, light beams from your fingers.

Do not linger, here in this moment, rush to the surface
and escape the airless lies that are encrusting your soul.
Pull yourself up to the surface and allow yourself to be woken.

Broken you may be, but you can be renewed if you give yourself
permission to control your own admission.
So permise it and recommit to standing on your own two feet
and weep with joy at your eternal freedom.

This is where I leave you.
Alone with your lonesome self...
Relish in your new-found magnum opus,
let it give you focus to hone in on your blooming
and lucid, conscious brewing.

Keep it stewing.
Stirring to formalize your new ignition,
no longer is this a road to your perdition.
Ridden your thoughts, let your conformity rot
and let that *** stew all of your now, new
delectable thoughts.
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Why do you dawn the robe of a judge!
There was no permit, to clear out the sludge!
It makes me sick that its so easy to see!
Its not his word that you eagerly decree!
You drip with lies you worthless ******* fraud!
When did you transcend the right hand of God!
You say they're wrong! You say they had a chance!
To Repent! but still they hold their stance!
I will fight till my very last breath!
To see you recieve the judgement of death!
For your crimes that you commit in his name!
Ill show you hell! Ill deal you your fame!
What you deserve is a robe made of fire!
To burn your words! the truth of a liar!
You beg and plead after sinning against He!
I see the fear as you look up at me!
You say ill join you if i so choose this path!
Hell give you mercy but you have well earned my wrath!
Ill sever your soul, and these crimes youll never recommit!
But now i fall! The essence of a hypocrite!
Amanda Kay Burke May 2017
I'm tired of waking up,
I'm trying to fight this alone,
I don't want to spend every day,
Broken hearted and on my own.

I find remnants of you everywhere,
Scattered all over my bed tonight,
Not all girls are good at being strong,
I'm falling apart in the moonlight.

I was only lying to myself,
When I said this was indefinite,
Its obvious youre done with me,
That you don't want to recommit.

My spirit has never been so low,
I'm close to being paralyzed,
I really didn't see this coming,
How could I not be surprised?

You left me in the afterglow,
and now things will never be the same,
The wind is always whispering
To me, repeating your name.

I'm haunted by your lingering ghost,
The past is being awoken,
You don't need me in your life anymore,
and now my heart is forever broken.
Sleuthed Nov 2012
when evergreen fades to brown
(i can't breathe without you now)
and sultry mist crosses arid hills
(the less it aches the more it kills)

the sting is bitter after it's sweet
(our hearts prove to be discrete)
like the energy to force a smile
(has been depleting for a while)

after you say we're over and done
(you used to tell me i'm the one)
you leave, and i leave the world behind
(but still it haunts my tattered mind)

your smile was bright but now it's gone
(and I meant nothing all along)
you said we needed to take the time
(but your lips proved it all a lie)

now some other foolish lover
(impaling me as i try to recover)
has your lips and hands and eyes
(but not for long as I surmise)

she'll break when you let her down
(in these bleak oceans that we drown)
and leave for another girl or boy
(another dream to build and then destroy)

so don't you ******* pity me
(you burnt my heart into debris)
when you're already keen to recommit--

(all your love was just *******.)
Vince Paige Jun 2010
tonight i set myself on the path of truth
to be the man that you've always needed
let us go back to the days of our youth
as i treat you as you are meant to be treated
tonight i set myself on the path of love
to be the man that you've always wanted
driven by a spirit and power from above
to exorcise mental ghosts that have haunted
tonight i set myself on the path of devotion
to you and only you, i recommit my heart
let us hold each other and move in slow motion
in a never-ending quest for a fresh start

and as i put myself on this path where i belong
i see that you have been waiting here all along

APE
To touch clean
with five fingers-how?
Reflecting into
to recommit to

To bad your old eyes
cannot see
BLINDNESS.....
this is a reaction

Dynasty in eyes
the truth is we sour
Bend my backbone
and the money harvest

God for drug
I traded God for drug
Love for ***
I traded love for ***

Human form, life,  mind
Trademark... APE

Off time, syncing rhymes
Rolling dies, hearing lies
Synchronize these lines
Listen and adjust
To the words discussed
Do not turn away
It's your birthday
And you will listen anyway
Don't stop, you got the right away
It's in my DNA and now yours ok
I'm not playin'
Just keep prayin'
Not displayin'
Why don't you get it
You hypocrite
Recommit
Yourself to this you misfit
A lifelike missile strike
This war like fight
You in the right
But I can't write
Rise in the light
I'd rather die
And win this fight
Words on the screen
Listen to the beat
Standin' on my feet
Tryin' to sync them
Finding a ink pen
Writing at school
Now I'm a fool
Let's go
Soundin' like a talk show
Auctioneer tempo
Tracks that lack voice audio
Maybe I should stick to photos
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
I can't rap
Full of life, vibrant and radiant, grew up and grew apart,
to both of our surprises, I took control and went out,
making something of myself, there’s bitter resentment
in your voice, to everytime you speak. Now we barely
keep in touch. Acting like I’ve got be living for the block.
Devil in your grin, Satan in you lies. How come you look
with hateful envy? How come, it’s my fault of what you
did with your life?  Every time I go to embrace, you turn away.
Where were you when I needed love?
(There we both came from the same place, it’s the money
and the struggle got us changing places. People yield to
trends, sins committed, people attempt to repent, but they
recommit to sins, I guess it’s their essence and it's the way
it is, I knew my cousin was on dope, I lived in poverty.
Providing reasons to become a ****** as the poor nature,
Suffocates me while I’m clean and I broke free. Life goes
on. I’m alive again, writing in stride, it’s adrenaline based
motivation, I’m little awakened than most. I just wanted to live.)

things sometimes will go wrong,
and the road may seem long,
the income may get low
and the bills start to grow,
you need to smile and sigh.
'cause life may seem awry.
step back, rest, but don't quit!
regroup and recommit.
the method for success
is to halt the excess;
make ev'ry moment count;
living is paramount.

A small victory earned today.
I thought I was out.
I wanted to end it all again,
And leave them all about.
I thought it was all over,
I thought I was finally done.
A small glimpse of happiness and I thought I wasn’t numb.

I wanted to be at rest. I wanted to finally relax,
But I can’t get it off my chest, the family that’ll be on my back.
I never thought they cared,
The bond was only blood,
But I just can’t shake this feeling.
This **** feeling in my gut.

My mind struggles to hold on,
Holding back my temptation.
I can’t even remember the days,
Were happiness wasn’t just my imagination.

I have to put it back down, I need to find my grit.
I need to put it all aside and finally recommit.

Recommit to finding happiness,
To find my own light.
I hate this feeling inside my head.
But for myself.
I have to fight.
Apple on a Rose Jul 2017
It was interesting to hear
You share your belief
Of how if you were to hurt me
I'd be ruined.
Unable to recommit.
When I look at all the hurt
I have put you through
Secretly knowing
I may never be able to truly commit
Instead
I smile.
And nod my head
Agreeing that of course
I love you
We feel the same way.
But deep down
There's emotions and thoughts
Even I am to scared to admit.
Am I one to commit?
At the end of the road, your journey begins
There is a name for that
When the bitter winds of cold
Warm your soul
There is a name for that

When your heart aches and you don't know why
You want to forget but you don't know what
You have given up but still you try
Put a smile on your face when you want to cry
There is a name for that

No it is not love, it's so hard to admit
The need is not there but you don't resist
You know it will fail and you still persist
Recommit yourself to who doesn't exist
There is name for that

There are no angels in heaven
No bright star and no guiding light
Darkness awaits like a welcome friend
Wings of Hermes bereft of flight

Your mind wanders back to places not there
Too tired to breathe and too tired to care
Isn't life all about a game of dare
We take chances and life's not fair

If a relationship ends
And energy seeps out
From all the pieces you broke
Just to fit together with someone
Whom you never imagined you could
Become unglued,
Then recommit to loving yourself
Work on becoming whole
So that you don’t ever have to rely
On another person
To complete you.

I wonder how
One may convert religions
If I could open my soul anew
It would be in honor of her body
If I could recommit myself to a church
It would be only to their touch
I grew up under God’s gaze
Now I will melt under yours alone
I wonder how
One can love a body
And not worship the creature beneath it
She is my temple-

I wonder how
One may convert religions
So I may Adore All Their Pieces
At the edge of her thighs
And the satin space between her hips
There is my desire
And my rush of purity
To be made new
In the act of loving
A person so divine

— The End —
