The Reckoning- Part 1

Wait… ink has finally touched the page.

My pen hyperventilates like it hasn’t breathed for days.

Gasping for life these words pour out,

My life feels capsized as my heart drowns in love.

Standing at ground zero as the smoke continues to haze.

I feel lost in this fallen world so I look off into a gaze.

 

I see myself being me… who I really am.

I see my Father’s gentle smile as

He holds me by the hand.

 

In this alternate reality I find eternal peace.

It is here I no longer worry about the beast.

The sirens quickly brought me back.

The panic and the chaos is overwhelming I didn’t realize it was all that.

Trying to get to the top is not always a good idea.

The wrong motives could cost you your soul and they don’t tell you that in the media.

 

Humbleness is a trait that many of us seldom possess.

I know this is true because when it comes to talking about ourselves we are the best.

I’ve been trying to figure out how the human heart really works.

I’ve noticed how we could love someone one day and then the next wish him or her hurt.

Our hearts are deceitful and this should not be taken lightly.

I guess that’s why I refuse to let people really love me.
