I am dirty
I am ugly
Beyond words
I am battered by my ways
My sense of self preservation is lost
My pride is diminished by my foolishness
By my hands I am doomed
By ways I am judged
I lied to myself believing I would get away with it
My hell is not beneath, not in the underworld
My hell is here on earth
For I see daily my path of flaws
My victims and my evil trophies
And though my repentance is here
My past is still memory
A burden I shall carry all the way
Hmmmmmm
Im sorry Lord
Without you, I am alive without life
By my hand, my sword is thrust to my heart.
nenchinten@yahoo.ca My 5 year old son, Jonathan asked me the most amusing question the other day....Daddy, how come im small? why am i not 6 yet? I looked down at him with a smile and said, "slow down, we all get older eventually, someday, you just might wish you were younger", i answered. I'm not sure he understood that line, but i am certain those words will come around sometime in his life. It is quite ironic how boys so eagerly seek to be men only to realize that time is a field of mixed blessings. Being young may be a sort of convenience, especially where one is born in the ideal environment....otherwise being young is a state of defenselessness and the eagerness of boys to be men is hinged on the ideals of self preservation. In the path of growth, dreams are forged. Dreams that define, direct and redirect life's choices, life is the battle fought to achieve, conquer, possess, dominate, realize and attain the goals birthed by those dreams. Slowly but steadi...
