PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Blurring thoughts raging inside of my overworked mind

Questioning myself of what others think to be blind

And I cry alone inside, but not a single tear will fall

Because I’m too confused, or maybe I’ve just numbed it all

And I don’t know what to think or say, and if I did, what would I do?

A misunderstanding comprehension of what they think I never knew

Young at 21 and I hide myself a little bit more each day

Hoping nobody would find this inconclusive stow-away

Vulnerability strikes hard so everybody else can see

And like a pack of wolves, they prey on and devour me

And I hang my head in shame for this thorn in my side

Because they saw it first, when from me it would hide

Convinced I was not naive, that I had some common sense

But then they knocked me down, and I, with no defense

Got up to strike them back, but the thorn nudged deeper within

Until I, in all stupidity was knocked over once again

In a world full of false wisdom, I am dubbed immature

Thought I had it all together, when now I’m not so sure

And I should be unaffected by their worldly ways

Because I am under God’s ever-sufficient grace

And if I only know one thing, it’s the meaning of life

While they still search for answers, I am satisfied

In the One Who picks me up each time they knock me down

Their evil forces stomping my pride into the ground

Only stuttering for the words I wish I knew to say

When I, myself a sinner, get caught up in my own way

Momentarily forgetting Who they really hurt

And they never knew Whose face they were rubbing in the dirt

Because He’s in me, and I, in Him, together in one unity

They think they know who they hurt, but it’s not really me

If I stand up to it without one single hurtful word

Then maybe silently they’ll know what they never heard

For it is they who will be judged on their final day

And then they’ll know what I know and Who has the final say

For if they know not what they do, then who really is the fool?

And I’ll be blessed for gracefully taking in their words so cruel
