I began in this life as a child
the child within
That never out grew the natural arrogance
Trying to see through
Our debris

Chipping at life
Digging for my soul
and Overlooking you
Who am I?

Real under this blanket of sin
Pretty, you're beautiful
Shaving off omitance
In line under lie
People are fast

Mass multitudes and faces
One body
LIghtening
Inside this box of myself
Selfishness as the base
Walls of worry
A ceiling from not looking out
who I am inside myself
By myself and my shadow
Its me, its all me

No one else even fits
Who do I love more?
Myself or God

There is no excuse for my rudeness
Watching God use my fingers
they are his
His creation
Apart of my defective soul

While I was crying about my imperfections
I didn't even notice you
Sitting there
In need
I didn't see you
Cause I was worried about my hair
The blood dripping from your eye
Is what they told me
I still didn't see you

While I'm burning in the wreckage
From the crash in myself
Maybe I can give you something after all
A good show
A beautiful piece of art
Enjoy the coffee and the chocolate

...and the way things are goin, they're gonna crucify me.  -The Beattles

Interesting read, though I didn't 'get' much of it.  Perhaps that's due to it sounding a bit cathartic, and those are right buggers to fully comprehend not knowing the impetus behind the pen.

Thank you.  Its pretty much about a selfishness I let speak up when I shouldn't have.  Its the box.  I basically feel like I box myself in because I worry about myself more than I do others.  Then also just think about Jesus.
