I Am All There IsA Poem by abluehorseandflowersThe third of five3. I Am All There Is
Only my shame is it I fear It declares that I'm the mistake It tells me I'm not human How could the Divine be near
What right have I to depend On anyone but me Or on my favorite 12 pack There's nothing but limitless guilt to spend
So I hide distorted thinking In a chemical atonement And acting grandiose Meanwhile my soul is sinking
I am a human doing To hide an ugly truth Everything I must control Or else there's cravings brewing
Miracles do happen But they don't for me I go from pit to pit I Am God abandoned
I Am All There Is then In a bastardized creation Where you mean less than me To me your will must bend
Now that I'm left friendless Everyone I've left behind Battered, bruised and broken I am my only witness © 2014 abluehorseandflowers |
