FORSAKEN IDENTITY

In the case of forsaken identity,
We are not who we once believed,
Nor do we have the right to know
The future of outcomes once controlled;
Instead, there lies a troubling void
In place of refuge mind-employed
To cope with what we might incur
As in the past when being hurt
And finding no room left to run,
Looked for reason where there’s none,
Concluding that we couldn’t trust
A soul to love forever, thus
We learned to keep another plan
In store in case we had the chance
To try and find solution to
The loneliness we always knew
While in the form of self assumed.

Inside Out

So much damage from life before,
Leaves me searching for ever more,
Creating patterns of response,
That leave me in a pool of want,
Until I find the source of life
And all that ever there is,
To dwell on what He means to us
And what He suffered to give,
‘Til when I come beside His power
I know there is no doubt
That He is all I need to see
The rest is INSIDE OUT.
