What's done in the Dark comes to Light

What's done in the Dark comes to Light

A Poem by sinNsincerity

With a sense of familiar,

To deal with someone I can’t stand...

Put it to flesh.

Don’t turn away.

A momentary lapse,

Can I really shake it away?

To take a worldview

Rather than my own?

My idea of success isn’t the same idea of success

As it is in your eyes.

Others are making it their business to remind me of my failures.

I remain to mind my own

And not seeking to develop a clone for those who need to own.

A fisher of man,

A simple man,

And within the pen and paper I see my true self.

I’m just a person on paper because you don’t take the time to care.

We want what we want

And how we want it.

Well..,

I want it all without the downfall of losing it all.

All my character traits lie within all of you.

Everything makes me

And that’s why you hate me

Because the simple thought isn’t in your grasp to fathom or comprehend.

There’s no discomfort.

It’s very real to me

Even though you can’t see.

All I can do is pray for faith

For faith fail me not.

Hoping that it’s never eclipsed like the love of hers and his.

God called,

So I’m in for the ride of my life.

It’s tough,

But the impossible becomes possible.

I go beyond the essential elements

To show you that plenty of things can live beyond the tangible reality.

There’s no denial in my faith.

The world says if I fail I don’t get a second chance.

Well he doesn’t want me to be perfect

For he has set me aside from the chase of the rat race.

When eyes meet,

What will you feel or think?

We all do what we said we wouldn’t do day after day

And he still loves you by allowing us all to stand in his grace.

The closer I get to the light the more dirt I begin to witness.

The light magnifies the specs and filth we all try to hide.

He’s doing something with me that couldn’t do alone.

There’s a fire of coles,

Warming myself by one...

When I was all about myself I lost myself,

But that’s when I truly found myself.

Crucifying myself won’t save myself,

But I do carry my sins on my back like the cross all the way to the promise land

Because I feel guilt knowing they will be refreshed and forgiven.

What goes on in my mind when all I have is time?

Thank you!
I could feel your struggle. I could feel your words. So poignantly written to the point that my chest felt constricted with the anxiety I was reading about. Well done.

A boatload of anxiety
Thank you so much for reading!
Powerful and deep thoughts in the poetry.
"But I do carry my sins on my back like the cross all the way to the promise land
Because I feel guilt knowing they will be refreshed and forgiven.
What goes on in my mind when all I have is time?"
Mistakes, sin and bad decision. I believe just lessons. I like the honest tone and powerful ending. The mind never forgot. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I will be honest, I am a weird one when it comes to poetry but I really enjoyed this. I love the bounce between faith and worldly struggle. I struggle daily between my duties as a wife, mother and christian. Trying to balance between my roles and strive for a perfection I can not reach to a avoid a judgement that should not matter. On top of this review I noticed a few grammatical errs, so sorry here they are;

He’s doing something with me that (I) couldn’t do alone. (I feel an I is needed here)
There’s a fire of coles (Coals is the correct spelling.)

Great work
