oneAlone

Long become the days full of anxiety. Scripture comes to mind but it isn't so easy. People begin to glare and ask, "What is your problem?"

My problem is simple. I've been given too much wisdom to bear. I seek knowledge as if it was an addicting drug and cannot stop. But what is this wisdom, what is this knowledge if there is no one to share? Oh Lord, lead me to a place where iron sharpens iron. I cannot take this lonely place. I find comfort in your moonlight with your stars shining bright. When can I come home? Will I come home?

The loneliness creeps in and Satan begins to whisper. His games are so beginner but what is all this rebuke if none is put to use, for others? I am not afraid of this spiritual warfare but it has always been solo. What is my gift, how do I use it?

Where do I go, what do I do? I feel trapped inside with an unbearable grip weighing me down and no exercise seems to withhold. What is it then? May your nights come quickly and last long that I may not see the depressing sun shining day.

This is a nice introspective piece that asks a lot of questions that we have all wondered a time or two... the flow is lovely... I did notice a few places that need a question mark, but other than that pretty well done... can't wait to read more of yours... again, it is nice to meet you sir, and welcome to WC!

WOW man this here is just gold. It reminds me of myself all through high school. I was always in the search of knowledge and refining myself from within as a human being, our spirits are what truly set us apart from each other and it really is amazing how beautiful we all are in the pure essence of what we REALLY are (plus im a huuge dirty govt. politics nut at times). Yet all these amazing things aside I always felt alone. As if my words always landed upon deaf ears. I feel as if because of huge difference between us all.. we are also incapable of truly loving one another. I feel like nobody can see all the amazing things inside of me as a person and that nobody understands the true nature of what everybody feels.

Possibly think that they would take all of us with the same mentality and stick us in a school of knowledge. Just an idea.

I loved this. It took me back to the mornings i'd wake up and the sun would be creeping through the blinds and hitting my eyes and it ws beautiful, but yet I felt so terribly depressed. Like something had changed. I too have that hunger for knowledge, but quite a lonely life. Great poem, thank you for sharing.

I love the piece but I don't get why its rated mature?

[Destined for Boring]

I rated it mature because I used the words God and Satan. I don't exactly know the rules of this site so I tried to avoid any drama.
