I shout to the rafters enough is enough
in the silence of my torment
acknowledging a few choice mistakes
which the world seems to never want me to forget
why is it that good men suffer repeatedly
while those who don't even give a damn
dance through life unaffected
It truly pisses me off to see people
who haven't walked a mile in my shoes
breeze through life without any conscious effort
taking for granted the many gifts showered upon them
as they grip their fist tightly,
cleaving to what they neither deserve nor have earned
displaying no compassion for human life
with a mocking silhouette of apathy
and false sense of self
as they point fingers and judge those that they
have no clue about
meanwhile I agonize in the shadows of discontent
clothed in the weapons of warfare
holding up the shield of faith in a world
that is callous and unfriendly
As principalities and powers forge relentlessly
toward my constant demise
abusing my virtues with the whipping blocks
of their contempt, merely because they can
Anger consumes me in the night hours of isolation
until the winds of grace strokes my flesh
and unites me with a harmonious universe
One that is long on patience but exacts justice
in the fields of righteousness
where no one is exempt

Some just have it all & they abuse that power in
every way while the others struggle. But its that
struggle that makes us strong & eventually bring us
right to the top. I understand this feeling of yours..
take care & one day you'll see the light. -
