Looking in at a world full of lost souls, wishing for them to know the love that I do. |
This is my first attempt at "unrhymed" poetry, so please, critique it like crazy! *May 2005* Lost Inside a world They cannot control. Screaming, Crying, Dreaming, Dying. Yearning so earnestly For something different, Yet fearing change. Living their lives While inherently knowing There's something else -There must be- Something else Bigger than they are. And while they struggle In vain, To remove the shackles So tightly clasped around their feet, They resist, They push away, His name. And as the chains become tighter, And their cage becomes smaller, Still they spit upon They mock The one who died for them. Don't they realize? Can they not see? He holds the key to save them. The key To set them free. They hide behind What they call Their independence. Not knowing It is their impending gloom. Really prisoners are they And still they say Let me live My life My way. And why is it That only a few find- Find the Savior And escape from their cage That so many others Resist to be freed from? I'm on the outside looking in. My knocks They cannot hear. My fear -For them- They cannot sense. Yet day after day, I watch. I cry. The tears Fall From my eyes. I wish for Them What I now have. I scream, I yell He is there! With open Arms and unending love. Love- So true, So forgiving. Why can they not see? Do they wish To stay Where they are? Or are they Instead- Blind, dead To His message Of redemption. And while they still Go throught the motions, That they call Life. My life, Because of Him, Has greater meaning Than just to live And to die. And although So grateful, So thankful, So indebted I am, I still see them And my heart, It breaks, Into a million pieces. And I think Why am I so blessed? And I don't think I deserve it, And I want them to know it, And I pray So fervently And I wish So eagerly For them Not to be lost Anymore. |
