Poem: There Is A Side To Us That's Strong

There is a side to us that's strong. But that's the one we hide. Confident and soft-spoken, often confused with pride.

And for some reason we yield; and fall into the trap. That actions of our surroundings and past, should govern the way we act.

But now I'm coming to think, and believe in heart and mind. I can make decisions consistently healthly; and leave the past behind.

So will you join me in this journey. To become a better (wo)man? Neither for show nor success, but just because we can.

Edge Living

I want to keep myself on the edge, but not fall off. Living far from the crowd but not be haughty nor proud. 

I want to be secure with who I am, the way I was made. Before the days I got seduced to live for social proof.

I want to walk by faith and live, aware of his voice. When deeds go dark as night I still won't run and hide. 

I want to stay forever known, and know that I'm a son. So when all is said and done, I lay awake for his return.

I keep myself on the edge.
