Sometimes (Heaven Seems Faraway)
Sometimes all I want to do
Is run inside and hide
behind the veils of music
Or beneath the bedsheets
In the deathlike solace of sleep
Sometimes all I want to do
Is open my mouth and scream
loudly at my uncertainties
Please simply let me be
Let me be what He wills
I know all I need to do
Is close my eyes while on my knees
My dried out mouth is wide agape
But unsoulful words saunter out
And Heaven seems faraway

This combination of supplies should be adequate in patching up any minor wounds that would otherwise be a hindrance.Exploreb2B.Com

Ized and Pearl, thanks for dropping by
and your comments made me smile,..However, you know what makes all the difference? it’s the fact that that poem was written with the knowing that, it surely tells an incomplete story.
Have you ever heard the story of the young man who was troubled all night and struggled with anxiety, greatly worried that the sun might not rise in the morning…?; This poem and that man have a lot in common
Once again, thanks for reading and for sharing this.
I agree with Ized – you usually don’t reveal this part of you. This side of you that ‘struggles’.
Words, Music and God equate the perfect friday evening at home.
An African man that understands the power of words. Such gifts are not given to many. Enjoy your gift and I pray you pass it on to generations ahead of you.
The line that captivated me
“My dried out mouth is wide agape
But unsoulful words saunter out”
God Bless you
Thank you so much for the kind words Lizzy, and thank you for coming around here. God bless
Wherever it is U wrote this from was really deep within.. U talk, most likely go on acting like U dnt have these period wen it seems like evrytin is uncertain & God dsnt hear you- u’ve helped thru many a confused moment, so its nice to knw that u r human.. I love this poem/note, becos I can relate wit the feelings, I love it becos its not complicated with ur usual norm of big grammar, tongue twisters and confusing play on words. Its simple, yet profound, has an impact whre its supposed to, my immediate reaction was to want to give u a hug…
) really nice. Thank U. (Here’s d virtual hug btw)
Its lovely Poetolu.. Really so, I think u shuld sell it to Taylor Swift.
