PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My world is tumbling, Upsidedown,

Wrapped and covered, smeared and smothered.

Shining bright, Though torn with fright.

Blackness reigns, the shadow wanes,

Angels cry, the good things die.

Disturbed I lay, I die today.

The shadows overwhelming me,

My hatred leaves me thirsty.

I'm proud and I fall, stop taking it all!

I know I can't win, my life has grown thin.

I've been shown the light, but still I must fight.

I've driven it all, at the cross I fall,

I refuse to give in, I clutch to my sin.

I'm unhappy now, but still I won't bow,

I'm not on my own, I'm down to the bone.

If I reached for you, my pain would be through,

But I still refuse, your grace I won't use.

If you'll tell me why, I still want to die,

Then maybe I'll see, that you're right for me.
