SACRIFICE
When can we see, what we know must be there
When can we feel, what we know we should care
How is the world, in the palm of thy hand
How can the moon, change a man
What is a word, but letters that we call
What is hate, when written on the wall
Who is GOD, when asked to those taken
Who am I, when my faith is left shaken
Where is my heart, when I look in the mirror
Where can I look, for my goals are no nearer
Why do I sin, and is it really such
Why can't I win, fore I lose what I touch
In my world of struggle
Am I doomed to die
Is it all a struggle
Of who's and what's and why's
Is there some meaning
To the beat of my life
This silly rhyme and reason
So full of struggle and of strife
Does the sun shine for me
Like a hope on the horizon
Or is it out to burn me
Like my father's hate that is inside him
Is there a pattern
Woven throughout all time
A path for which we all tread
A template for out mind
Or is just all chaos
That crashes through it all
Do I struggle for intangibles
Jumping just to fall
When the lights go out there is darkness
And all is cold and dim
Yet there is always that fake light retina burn
Does this symbolize Him?
Is there light in all things
And so has he touched me
But if I can't not see it
Can he still judge me
I drop a quarter on the street
And someone takes it for their own
Do expect redemption
For the kindness I have shown
Is it all just darkness
Like the sky unpolluted by light
Between the dismal flickerings
Of constant striving light
Is there nothing all around me
And in what is inside
Are the shadows all a part of me
Or just the place I hide
Can it all have purpose
Can there truly be nothingness beyond
Do I have the strength to find out
Of anything am I so fond
To let go and feel the freefall
Into nothingness above
Maybe it isn't falling
Like floating on sings of a dove
And maybe I'll keep going
And maybe I'll push on
For I do have those that love me
I do hold such sacred bond
I can not let them down
Though their pressure weighs me so
I could tempt my own fate
But those I love?.......no
I sacrifice myself
Every day I live and see
And never will they know
How much their love has cost me
And never would I ask
For reparations for this sin
For this is all just the chaotic struggle of nothingness
I find when I look within
