Contemplations of the Mind

We’re not perfect, but we’re not hopeless either.

I’m tired of being the man I’ve become
Hoping in promises as sure as the rising sun
Fighting each day to stay complete and whole
Fighting with whole heart, mind, spirit, and soul
Failing each day a little more than the first
Peering into the scriptures to find some self-worth
Friends and family say I am beautiful
Hard to believe when I feel so pitiful
All they can see are my words and actions, which are lies to them
Their eyes can’t see my heart, corrupt and devastatingly grim
But, Ah! Remember Jah sees all things
From the top layer of skin
To my most hidden inner workings
Blessed I am that Jah forgives
Knowing this gives me strength to live
difficult it is to write how I feel
Just a daily thought that has been revealed

It reads like a Rapp Lyric. I enjoyed it, I has a rythm, feel sorry for the subject tho’

Dear Smoothe
A very powerful piece of poetry, very gripping words. Never forget that you are beautiful and we all make mistakes hon and don’t forget the one gift I know you have and that is writing. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Love Shelley.

Hi smoothe1! That was really smooth.. All heart and soul. Keep it up!

Very very good flow. I read through it the first time so smoothly that I had to re-read it to get what it was saying. I mean that as a good thing, I was distracted by the writing itself on the first run through.

I look forward to seeing more.

Very nicely written,had to read it twice to get everything.not a bad thing though since I could have missed something vital…I liked it!
