The strength that’s required
To brandish my sword
I cannot muster and
Leave to youth but
Rather I hone wit
Sharpen sarcasm and whittle
And pluck the mantle
Hairs from the shoulders
Of demigods theocrats and
Buffoons who wear such
Not because of triumphs
But because of confiscation
Crippling those bullies at
Their weaknesses their lack
Of intelligence and morality
It’s with a heavy
Heart that I admit
That I am scared
Breakups are never easy
Yet here we are
Once had now gone
I will miss you
And what you promised
I did love you
But then you cheated
With the one that
You promised to avoid
You promised me that
Never shall we mingle
And yet you did
I should’ve expected it
Seduction is always sweet
Until the apple bitters
And it always does
Strength and faith
Come from within
Power and belief
Come from without
One is Heavenly
The other Hell
Back to my knees
Lord where art thou
Here in my darkness
I implored the Heavens
To relieve me from
Despair have my sins
Prompted such turmoil have
I not been noticed
For my kindness nor
My love for others
Where are You
And then God said
I am the bottom
Upon which you have
Fallen which you kneel
Consider this do not
Sprouts spring from below
Do not trees rise
From the forest floor
Do not clouds gather
Rain from the oceans
Does not absolutely everything
Begin from where you
Find yourself to be
Now my dear boy
Start from here and
Be on your way
Just like everything else
Clarity is hard
Oh my God
It’s hard knowing
Understanding these things
While all others
Flit and fly
About knowing nothing
Bumping into others
Casually saying hello
I do find
My Heaven in
Others for what
I see in
Them is nothing
Short of angelic
From a distance
For who but
God dare to
Touch an Angel
