As humans our bodies are capable
of doing so many wondrous things
yet why is it we no longer treat it
with our undying respect
We sit and stare without care
shying away from pain
no longer doing our share
and when things go wrong
we often wonder where
Our bodies we've begun to shun
sitting down and not always under the sun
feeling like there's something we've lost
when we should be feeling like there's
something that we've won
There are so many things we've seen
often wishing it all were true
but if it lies in the realm of possibilities
what we see if we tried, we can do.
That which my eyes see
I must ask my tongue and body to refrain
lust begins to creep into my eyes
so I must turn my head away
It is a vile thing
despite what others may say
it causes so much heartbreak
each and every single day
It is not love
for love can tie it down
more often than not
lust is dangerous on its own
So when my eyes see
and my mind begins to imagine
I must turn myself away
less I be consumed by a dragon.
You command me to write
and to never sin
but if I were to sin
all I'd have to ask is to be forgiven
Now here I am alone
far away from home
and I ask what can be done
when the important things are gone
My eyes are weary and heavy
as my mind begins to think
I fear that should I sleep
everything will be gone in a blink
So I sit and do as you ask me to
and there is only one thing I ask
is that everything will get better
before the day is through.
To many things said and done
many more left undone
as the day goes by with the setting sun
looking back wondering what I've done
Looking back helplessly in regret
then looking forward hoping for the best
stuck in the middle with all this unrest
wondering if it's all just a test
Always one thing and not the other
perhaps because I've never had a brother
my guidelines were set by my father
maturing faster due to my mother
Standing under the misty rain
wondering what there is to gain
and what is left to regain
relying on God to keep me sane
Everything now seems surreal
looking inside wondering what to feel
while waiting for on
