A right to be there
1 Corinthians 2:7 New Living Translation (NLT)7 No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God-his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began. There
To have a right to be there ... but not to belong
is like a smooth skin with a pimple.
I find myself so often ... where I should not be
in thought and creed up to the simple.
I nullify the call of life ... in word and indeed
and find me in all the wrong places.
I don’t understand ... what makes me bleed
through the ones with most familiar faces.
“Where to be and not to be” ... is not a mystery
Unchanging place and time until I interfered.
Did not I choose to be ... where it’s now an extension?
Are decisions from the past now near to be feared?
Do I raise the children ... in my own distorted image?
Are the adults in my life suffering in my path?
As I blind as a bat ... I try to fly till senseless
hitting about everything that’s laid down in my wrath.
Are the idols in my life ... what I call idealistic?
Are the ways I follow ... paved by my desires?
Am I what is called ... “A fake in the making?”
Or am I almost ready ... to be tried by fire?
This poem did not come easily.
It did not flow from the heart.
