Perfection is what you seek Yet that is not what I can offer Not in my life now For I am an imperfect being Faulted in my own ways Hated for who I am Hunted for what I do And yet not one of you really cares It’s not for you to decide Do I live or die Clean or dirty… It’s my decision While you can sit and tell me to feel You cannot do this for me You may light the path However, it is my path to walk Or to deny as I wish The outcome may never be clear While I travel in the City of Enlightened I still reside in the State of Fallen Doomed to reside within Until I am released by the One And brought back To the Grace from which I came. *************************** Written last night after watching the movie 28 Days, and while thinking of a new friend who is struggling within herself. Day after day I'm more confused, |

'It’s not for you to decide Do I live or die Clean or dirty… It’s my decision While you can sit and tell me to feel You cannot do this for me You may light the path However, it is my path to walk Or to deny as I wish' Good movie, good poem, good point!  |
