Until it Does

Embedded image from another site

Deep in silence I focus on my pain
I've kept it buried below and softly away
Disabling all of my false and insecure pride
Filtering through the faces I keep disguised
Its been well overdue for me to make a change
While my words become like rotting fruit and falls away
Searching for something to mend a shattered heart
Insearch of inspiration, but instead I fell apart
Give me a pair of wings and watch me fly
Then watch me crash and burn out of the sky
I know that my plate is made warm for me on the table
As I begin to wonder if I will change at all
Honestly I'm not sure that I can
Behind a box of excuses you will find a man
With a heart so big and wants to save the world
But yet so selfish that my punishment is well deserved
I'm so tired of defending what I'm not and have become
And still I keep pretending that nothing is wrong
Throw me the obvious and I will wear it on my back
As the summer night illuminates memories I can't have
I know that my dinner is getting cold as I grow unstable
Uncertainty has become all but a poetic fable
But I will keep on digging until the whole is dug
As the hole keeps getting bigger with every plunge
Tomorrow doesnt exsist until it comes
So tonight I light a candle for hope until it does

Jesse, is it that so many of us are going through similiar trials right now, that many of us seem to be purging and sharing the really DEEP stuff. I think it's great. It give me the courage to follow suit. I was to moved by this piece. The honesty you shared here. I read it with jaw agape. I am inspired tonight and will do some writing myself. Blessing to you and thank you for all the beautiful and heartfelt comments you post on my work. Hugs, Celtic!~hug

Jesse, you are MOST welcome. My mind is buzzing so tonight. Your comments to my comments...well thank you. I just have to remember that we are here in this life to help each other. I also remember this night that the true measure of success, if getting up one more time than you fall down. Hang in there and keep writing and sharing. Blessings to you from the heart. Celtic!~wine
