·Mental Journey

I hate myself for thinking of you No good will come from this It’s a coward who abandons those dependent on him I am not a coward Yet I stand here thinking of you O God… I don’t have the strength to decide How I love them, how I want to protect them Yet it’s their unremitting neediness However not their fault it is That drives me ever closer to you. I pray God takes me before I have to make this choice The fight I wage on so many fronts has taken its toll My exhaustion, so dizzying a weight upon my head My hands are reaching to stop the fall As I stagger ever closer How I would welcome your relaxing embrace Lulling me to sleep, finally able to rest my weary soul If only the rest could take but a moment How I hope I don’t have to say goodbye

Mental Journey

Mental Journey

I am on a journey of the mind. Contemplating the universe on every scale, and doing a complete introspective exploration. I may never be a literary academic, but I share my humble thoughts in hope that they may inspire others.
