Arise

Arise

Arise

Arise from thy state

Of unworthiness

To a King or Queen

You were born to be

Stand tall in thy statue

To a crown awaiting thee

Walk on thy path in front

And your feet strong as steel

Arise

From the pool of blood

Surrounding from head to toe

Thy spirit crippled

Stand up to face the giant

That left you for dead.

Walk away from a life history

Before it caught up with you

Arise

From the words tearing

The soul you barely feel

Stand tall with ears shut

And a wall built to protect you

Walk on before the wall breaks

And you perform an act of regret

Arise

Arise

Arise

Just a while longer

Just a while longer

A saint I never was

For I knew not what it was

An innocent was never me

For I understood every consequence

All my sins I bear

For all I knew and comprehended.

But my measly life was all I knew

My measly soul was all I had

My measly body was all I used

To sin and live and sin in life

Even my creator surely knows

The life of a sin I lived

And the sin of life I died.

For every time an ounce of me

Wished for the end

He seemed to smile and say

“Just a while longer”

“For what?” my fury raged

“Just a while longer”

The pain in every bone in my body

Every tissue and sinew

Every molecule and microfibre

But His smile shines on

“Just a while longer”.

they came

They came

Opening her tear filled eyes

Seemed, became impossible

For the glass of tears

Plastered even her thoughts.

Blinking them away

Seemed to invite more,

As some gave way

To a torrent of them.

She wept condemning

Herself for it.

Ostracizing, crucifying her weakness.

But oh they came

Like a tsunami out to take lives

They came.

They came from years

Of preservation, deprivation.

For outward they wanted to be.

To clear and wash away.

The dirt filled soul

The hate infested heart

They came.
