My Confusing Illusion

My Confusing Illusion

A Poem by Leandri Van der Merwe

Stuck in the middle of this confusion...
Don't know what's going on
Don't know what I did wrong
But everyone else seems to know

"Help me out" I'll find myself asking
But nothing but silence would come from this confusing illusion.

It's killing whatever comes in it's way with foul words, lies and made up stories just to make sure that no breath is left inside your body.

But what is this terrible confusing Illusion?... That leaves it's victims scarred, broken and to afraid to go on with what some might call life.

The confusing Illusion I find myself stuck in, is something a lot like you & me. But just a little different...
Yes it's alive.. It's got a soul, It's got a heart, It's got feelings, It's got love, and same as you & me pain...

But to cover up all those things that make us Human.. It will turn into a "Confusing Illusion" as I would like to call it.. And destroy the lives of others...

Because there's nothing "Better" to do in the eyes of this Illusion..
Yes It's really confusing..
How "People" would want to live a life like that.

Yes People...Some People..
That's my confusion

But then I had a moment of clarity
When I realized that this is all just insanity
And frankly I don't have to care about that Confusing Illusion and what it's doing to me or my life..

Because There's a God that keeps reminding me
I'm Loved!
I'm Wonderfully and Fearfully made !
And I can do anything through Christ who strengthens me!!

I Then realized that the confusing Illusions in our lives don't have any right to break us.
They don't even have enough power to do that.

Because with God by my side, Nothing can break me and No word can ever harm me!

Beautiful! I believe everyone has their own "Confusing Illusion," like a fear or an anxious feeling. It reminds the reader that whatever their weakness is, it can not bring them down, for we are strong. Good job! This is a nice piece of literature.
