The Way

when you are sure you know
when you believe you are
then are confronted with the truth
about your painful scars

You realize your perspective,
is limited at best,
that any knowledge you have,
is second best.

You try to find the truth,
but it evades you all the time,
you question all you knew,
you fear for the first time.

Then you finally settle,
and realize the truths still there,
but that being human,
means its somewhere out there.

It might seem elusive,
it might seem obscure,
but to pursue truth is to pursue God,
and find his precious love.

God give me peace,
to accept what I can't see,
to know there is more to life,
that what little I see.

God reveal to me,
your infinite wisdom and love,
help me accept my limitations,
by relying on your divine love.

I think I feel this inside,
because you put it there,
you put me on a quest,
to understand all the rest.

If anything I finally know,
there is a higher power,
something that guides me,
through this uncertain future.

Emptiness

When you try to listen
to those around
yet your heart's screams
drowning their sound

When you try to dance
but your feet can't move
they feel no life
no romance

when you try to write
what you feel
yet the pen is dry
no ink to spill

When you try to fight
this pain you feel
but your body betrayed you
and leaves you to reel

When you feel defeated
before you begin
because your flawed
and deeply scarred

When you want to love
but deeply suspect
anyone that pretends
they're into you

Whats their angle?
whats their game?
why pick me?
when i'm so lame

My life slowly fades
the feelings slowly die
why i hold on
i'm not even sure why
