Poetry
I tried to write a poem a couple of days ago but I ended up deleting it. I can be a bit of a perfectionist sometimes but it really sucked. It was really hard for me to write it. It's like I've become too hardened to think of similes and pull out emotion and whatnot. It kind of sucks that I've developed such a thick skin but I guess that's just how my character has developed. However, I have found some old stuff from years ago. My stuff tends to be easy to read. But don't feel obligated. I know reading poetry can be a drag sometimes.
Does anybody remember that story I wrote for Halloween a while back called The Master? I thought that was pretty good. I'll repost some other time under this SN.
This one was from back when I considered myself a Christian.
Redemption
Twas a demon in my soul
But You have given love
That I may cast the demon away
And, by grace, rise above
Youve given me new life
The battle, we have won
Ive years upon my head
But my life has just begun
Oh, the tear that wells
With thoughts of joy and grace
Youve cast light upon my shadows
My sins you have erased
