Claimed

My life has been a waste

One spent looking for the light

I know now, I won't find it

But not because I've never tried

I've never tried harder

Never wanted something as much

As I burn for Salvation

But that's just it, isn't it?

I burn

White Hot- scorching- dancing flames pulse

Wrapped in excruciating knowledge

I can't be a lamb 

Born outside the flock

No shepherd to call me home

Just a man, calmly waiting

Knowing he has me

Knowing I can't get away.

I am claimed. 

His.

Looks like a job for Super Granpa. Let's see now....right....okay, he has claimed you....right....what did your granny say?......Oh, I forget now....doesn't matter...yes, he has claimed you. Right honey, just be the empty headed doll he wants and that will always send them running. A nice write!

i feel the lessons of confessionalism in this.

you relive it, and recreate it like you can't escape it. caught between struggles and a feared depression.

good work!
