You Say

You Say

A Poem by Debbie Lyn Jones

 

We know them... the people that wear a mask of being a devout, kind spirit ... but we see them for who they really are.



You Say...

 

 

You say to him -

 

I'm a good and divine person

deserving of your adoration and love

You say you are a devout and cherished soul

one deserving of angelic wings and flowing gown

 

 

You say

"I don't like them"

 

You plot and scheme to ensure their downfall

You're smug and trite and want them to feel your power

The power you wield to continue to pain their life

 

You say - to all

See me? See all that I am?

More than you ever will be

more than you can ever hope

 

 

You say to him -

Please Lord, hold me close

Give... my deserved blessings

Crown a halo upon my head

 

My bible is in my hands you see

I am always upon my knees for you

Always singing your praises

Always devoted to loving you

 

 

You say -

Look at them

what clever thing can I do - so they know their place

what plans can I devise with others

what fun can be found for one so undeserving

 

Hear me -

as I whisper to others

See me as I laugh as they hide their tears

What pleasure this is - to step down on their fingers

Barely holding on they are... barely....

 

 

Lord - see me

Hear my voice lift up for only you

Let your sun shine and warm my face

Let your angels know my name

 

I dance divinely for you

I know every quote your son has said

The location of every important passage

I keep the Sabbath in my heart

 

 

You say to them -

Dare you talk to me? Dare you take me on?

What fun it is to cause you such misery

Myself & my friends - all such exquisite memories

 

Get up - we are not done yet

Who ARE you calling to on your knees

there is NO ONE to help you

keep you safe from us...

 

Praying?

I laugh that you think YOU will be heard.

 

 

You say to him -

I praised your name every hour

Say how very blessed I am -  to all those around me

Not a day goes by without my crying “Hallelujah

I await the day I will stand in judgment before you Lord

The day I get what I have so earned.
