Giving Myself Up Unto This World

A Poem about moving on from everything and trying to make a difference in this world

Giving Myself Up Unto This World

As I look upon my past

As all the memories pass before my eyes

As I look forward into the future

And feel as if it all shall work

Out and as I look upon this world

It cannot survive like this

And I shall change it

And I look into the future

Giving Myself Up Unto This World

All of my past obsessions

And as I have realized my true self

I have shorn myself of all of it

I have discovered my sister

I have found my family

I can finally move forward

Changing this world 

This world must change

My wants of relationships

Have merely caused pain and suffering

So I shall no longer seek them out

If they should come unto me

I shall not shun them

But I cannot allow false hopes to drown me

As I give myself up unto this world

For it is true that history will repeat itself 

If you do not remember and learn from it

But if you dwell on the past,

Allow it to engulf and swamp you and hold you down

You are condemning yourself to it all over again

There must be change 

It cannot last

And this is how I throw myself to this world

It has to change

I will make it change

I will help the oppressed, the poor and downtrodden, the ignored and impoverished

I shall speak for them

This world shall change

And for that change

Here I am

Giving Myself Up Unto This World.
