Be As A Friend

Trust…

Confession time, so listen

I’m causing contradiction

Inside I’m feeling empty

A part of me is missin’

And I ain’t wishin’, I’m kissin’

An evil-ish rendition

‘Cause this person I’m presentin’

Just really ain’t fittin’

I’m reminiscent of empty tempting

Where my world changed and rearranged until eventually

I’m left with nothing but body, mind, and soul

“Let’s see how many fall when this picture unfolds”

Be as a friend

And bleed ’til the end

As because sex was needed again

Far from the cry for freedom from sin

Drown inside our hopeless dreaming again

Allegations arise

When you’re lost inside your mind

I pray to God forgiveness

To “Please not leave me behind”

If I could rewind time

I’d just leave it all vacant

And traveled crossroads in my life

Would now exist adjacent

For you, let this be taken

My conscience is forsaken

By an evil-ish presence of fornication

 

As I’m making notes

 

Trying to learn from my mistakes

 

These reoccurring nightmares

I can’t seem to get away

Be as a friend

And bleed ’til the end

As because sex was needed again

Far from the cry for freedom from sin

Drown inside our hopeless dreaming again

I can’t breathe

God, please…release my sorrows…

Take away my pain…

And God, grant me tomorrow…

A better day…

And if I can’t escape all these allegations

Then God, grant me the strength to deal with what I’ve created

Let me relate and tolerate…

All that I’ve made

So that I won’t let this drive me to an early fate

‘Cause even if I deserve it, I already feel worthless

Apologies from the heart, ain’t nobody perfect!

We all have skeletons hiding in our closets

Everyone has seen the line, and everyone has crossed it

Now real quick, pause it. Does it feel like you’re falling

Into a depression, or whatever you call it

And to this, we’re the same

Says the weird to the strange

We both hold it in, never revealing pain

Causing us to change

But not to leave us for dead

To be stronger at heart

Tears us apart instead

 

“Love had no connection”

 

To this statement I wed

 

I’d rather cleanse my soul

Believe in what I’ve said…

Be as a friend

And bleed ’til the end

As because sex was needed again

Far from the cry for freedom from sin

Drown inside our hopeless dreaming again

I can’t breathe…

I can’t breathe

This was phenomenal. Jason you are an amazing person. This write was full of the things that make you who you are. This piece give us a glimpse into who you are. We all have imperfections and things we fall on our knees begging for forgiveness. But those defining times create in us to do better. To write the wrongs. A usual brilliant piece. Thank you for sharing this. It was wonderful.

This is magnificent. I love the openness and the truth. This reads like a song. The flow is wonderful and the content incredible. Very well done!

I share your sentiments on not being able to breathe at times, when this world closes in and becomes a futile enterprise of hidden wishes and dreams; there is much to be said in letting the empty out and letting love and inspiration in.

Heartfelt words that I can truly feel.

Once again...amazing! Everyone makes mistakes....we all do things that we are not proud of....this was truly wonderful!

[XxXCherriXxX]

[Voice11]

I like the ending, the rest was a little confusing, I think it was because there was too much rhyme and not enough transitions

Then God, grant me the strength to deal with what I've created.
Let me relate and tolerate�
All that I've made.
so perfect and I agree, it's hard sometimes to tolerate and relate to what you've done, this was a wonderful writing.

"I can't breathe

That is brilliant. You stand and admit to wrong and/or failings. You do not hide behind a mask but admit to having a fallible human error. The flow to this is amazing. You read it with a voice narrative and a tune behind it, playing in your head as if it comes with the poem. It just seems so realistic. This would make quiet an anthem for thousands, that are not able to write their thoughts in such a creative manner such as this. "We're both the same says the weird to the strange." I love the part about skeletons in the closet. "Everyone has seen the line and everyone has crossed it." I could reciet this whole epic confession to life and living it. I respect the moral that I pull out of this and it is only my opinion, "If you do the deed, own it." Where has such talent been hiding. World Jason has arrived, now sit up and take notice!
