The Mirror
we stood there
looking at each other with discust.
we didn't talk,
neither of us would listen any way.
we wanna leave,
but it took too long to get here.
so we stay
thinking about all the time that has been wasted.
we had different paths-
who knew it would lead us to each other
all our effort
just to end up side by side again.
if i spoke
could i be heard over the other voices right now?
could i listen
if something of importance was said would i catch it?
this is hard.
it's all we can do just to look at each other.
we are nothing alike
our paths are parrelel but our walk is completely different.
the light and the dark facing off,
the epic battle continues as the saying goes.
"i pity you."
i hear the same response from him.
you will never know what it's like to be me--
i know exactly what it's like to be you my deluded friend.
i do what i'm told.
you stand their like a whipped dog.
i do what is right.
you act like a pawn and a slave.
i keep the peace.
you keep your mouth shut so you don't get hurt.
what am i thinking.
you could stop and step over right now.
go to the other side.
see if the grass is really as green as they say.
but what would that prove?
i hear my friend telling me to hurry up
i wash my face and look back at myself
am i to weak to finish my journey?
i can't talk.
i feel like such a hypocrite.
all i see is flaws.
the mistakes and failures scar my face.
i can't help but cry.
i wanna take the pain away from my heart.
i could stop.
i would know how it fels to be dirty.
i could relate to the others.
i could stop struggling to be accepted.
i would know what they know.
but the stakes and the cost is too high.
i would have to lose myself.
i don't want that life to take over my own.
i want to live my way.
the real way
some how--
i will find balance with myself.
INTAMATE THOUGHT: no one said that following Jesus would be easy, nor is it true that once you are following Him your problenms will dissapear. but even though you still have to face issues you do not face them alone and you can always find peace in Him and those He has placed in your life ----Shadow light
