Epiphany of Self

-
I had an epiphany today
A realization of the way
The person that I want to be
Depends on no one else but me

I felt the need to be approved
I could not get the pain removed
But none can stop the pain I hide
It only ends if I abide

I blamed myself for all the pain
Reliving moments time again
I thought for me to truly free
I'd need the world forgiving me

But now I see I held me back
I was the one who I attacked
I'm not the only one who's sinned
And worse than I the Lord have cleaned

Must stop the hate for who I've been
And focus on just who I'm being
The shame for what I did must pass
To graduate beyond this class

I'm not the man of years ago
I did repent through scripture pure
I'm not what people see in me
I'm me, the me that God made free

Activate Diligence

Slow but not steady, go but not ready I'm just sitting on earth doing nothing already Every day every hour I'm just lazing around And I'm all about sleep because I'm feeling all down Spending most of my day as I listen to sounds There are  things to be done There are places to be gone I know I must do it but I haven't begun Must muster the will to fire the gun But I would rather run Though my body feels like it weighs a tonne Yes my flesh is weak at every turn So I stare at the ceiling or look out the view Or I start daydreaming about a thing or two But I never get started on items of taste The doing of the nothing is all such a waste This cannot continue; this useless state No time to be idle must demonstrate Let the will of action be transferred to me And with wonderful wisdom let me start to be It is time, yes it's time for productivity Move on out of this spirit of despondency Set the switch of my power on priority Set the mind o...

Say it straight - say it plain No more beating round the bushes again No more hiding, make it end Speak the truth and be a friend Say it now and do not lie Say it quick fore we die No more pretense to retrieve Orate all and let me live Say it, say it - don't be scared You said it then; no courage spared No person was able to stay your tongue Say your truth when I'm around
