Be As A Friend

Be As A Friend

A Poem by Jason

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.

Oh my.. a ventation and confession.. flowing quite smoothly.. great rhythm plays truly like a song.. and wow your words "says the weird to the strange" .. but aren't we all a little strange really sometimes.. what is the norm in society... forever changing.. and we do live in the land of so much sin and addiction.. a great cleansing with focus is what you have here.. and in the end.. you are out of breathe.. from exhaustion.. is the feeling it gave me with "I can't breatheX2". So many can't escape daily allegations or rumours..as this is a world driven in the quest of fame and popularity.. people use others as step-ladders to success.. then escape to the world of dreaming.... I felt a sense here of sexual addiction which is not certain but does happen in reality to so many.. Nobody is perfect.. as you have written.. thank you so much for sharing.. =)

Outstanding poem, Jason! It appears to also be a song you have written...if not it would make a great one. Especially with the chorus:

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

The chorus has a memorable hook to it. And with all great songs, there is a powerful and emotional side that inspires the creation itself...this is no different. We all make mistakes and for our lifes' sake we don't understand just did it. But life is what it is. Thank God for us, your readers, that you choose to express yourself through writing! Another Excellent showcase of your Talent. By the way...I am enjoying your book! Congrats once again on your accomplishment!
