Me again


Psalm 39:4 

“O Lord, help me understand my mortality
and the brevity of life!
Let me realize how quickly my life will pass!

 

Me again

 

Blindness is mostly self-imposed … self-centeredness the recluse

Removes all grains of sensitivity and the gift of communication

As hearts in need cry all around me to expose my self-abuse

My spirit seems in jeopardy … escaping in silent frustration

 

I should have known the better … can’t see much going on

Eyes on “misunderstood by self” take away the bigger picture

Maybe this small letter will show me really uncanny dumb

as I can’t tell at all as my thoughts are polluted and fractured
