My Compromise With Self Pity
I held it all inside
And then began to cry
and cry and cry
like there was no tomorrow
Oh my God Why?
Why Why Why Why Why
I don’t deserve this sorrow,
The tears would subside
and then return in waves
til’ I feel wasted
I begin to write
He moves some
but I resist following
His inclination
until I hear a tiny voice inside me say,
It may be time for us to part ways
For this is where I wade
not wallow
I dry my eyes
They’ve stopped flowing
although still a little puffy
But so are the white billowing clouds
that were once vapor
Everything seems about the same
and I feel remnants of the pain
But in Faith
This is a new day
Yes it is a new day
And it’s waiting
to empower me
to go on with my life
And I want to,
with love
and rejuvenation
