Titled, "Struggles and Sin"
Sin is used in this definition
This poem is a description of how I've been feeling about school and the responsibilities I must accept but I keep running away from. It always is significant in the way I feel about a certain girl, whom I cannot admit my feelings to. And lastly, it pertains to my faith, as so many times I fail to leave my struggles and sins behind and leave them at God's feet and fail to recognize that he is in control of everything and that all I can do is be faithful.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do I feel this today?
This hopeless, restless feeling today?
This day, why always this way?
Does it always stay?
Why doesn't it leave me alone so I can be
At
Peace.
Why does it follow me wherever I go
I just don't know
But all I want is to make it flow...
Out
Of
My
Heart.
Why is it just so hard sometimes
To leave it all, all of it behind?
Why can't I leave this place
For a better tomorrow
For a better day
To live the way
That I was supposed to live
My struggles are pinning me against the wall
They're making me fall
But I just can't stop
From AM to PM it surrounds my life
I'm covered in strife
Because of the choices that I must make
Why can't I look at it right in eye
Tell the truth and not be forced to lie
Make up my mind
And then not be afraid to accept...
My
Responsibility.
