Picturesque
Psalm 26:4
4 I do not spend time with liars
or go along with hypocrites.
But how to put up with self?
Short circuit in the heart ... which fuses have been blown unfair?
Is it the one marked anger or the hidden one marked despair?
Why does this always happen in that overly exposed part
Called the center of my being far beyond my chosen smarts?
One thing is for sure ... somewhere intensely deep inside
The light goes off regularly and darkness then feels right
Not made to endure for long as I flee into the night
Where I seek for comfort to soothe feelings to be right
I tried so often over and again to find these darn fuses
To replace with new ones... to protect me from self-abuses
The only thing now left for me … is to be one who amuses
The crowd by putting up a show … to prevent all excuses
