Wisdom Words Tablet
Approval is often
what I seek
Clasped hands begging
it from peers
The person I need to
seek it from is myself
Yet I am always
dissatisfied with the results
Always attempting to
achieve things beyond my grasp
Mercy I am eager to
bestow upon others
When I view myself
under hindsight’s microscope
I do not seem to
allow its forgiving presence
The healing balm that
Gilead and God extend to me
Christ died for all
of us but I lack faith in accepting atonement
Justice is the
pretense I give
Yet it is only the
ill-fated guise of revenge
Only God grants true
Justice for those whose hearts he knows
I wreak havoc on my
self-esteem and physical person constantly
If I were true then I
would atone and repent my sins to God
Compassion for self
is lacking in my life
It abounds endlessly
flowing outward toward others
Truth strikes at me
shattering my rose-colored view
In written words I
see it a wound laid out and raw
Easy to comprehend I
feel unable to act upon the wisdom
