Stage of Fakes.


I have a story. Everyone has their story. When I start to think about mine, everything gets a little gloomy. Its like a bad movie, where the good guy has a chance to kill the bad dude but can't bring himself to do it. JUST SHOOT HIM! you say all these things! And are claimed to be a good influence, but can't be depended on to take stand and start a movement. You lead people to believe you follow the teacher and you aren't even a student, you would like that to be right, but no, It couldn't. You bost on yourself all of the time! Stuck clinging and cherishing to your pride! You speak the words of truth through a life of lies. You fight an endless battle, unceasing, with no compromise. You stand on that stage for something higher, but inside its just to get on peoples good side. You slip on right by, fooling everyone accept for the one Guy. The one you clam to exalt. Your burdening the load and its all your fault. Just adding one tiny weight at a time till you're to heavy to float. The one we just leave behind and pass by. The one we fail to know and we cry, and we complain that his sustenance was a bit to shy. Well that's just fine....because that guy......that's me....I feel the chills go up my spine as I think how I'm "so corrupt".....well it is time! I'm done with with leaving people aside! No need to hide what's truely there lingering inside! 
     This darkness. You can't fight it blind....

<p>This was inspired from my experiences in a band following God. I was in a dark part of my life and i would still go play shows and tell people all about grace and how the could come talk to me. Its hard on the mind when you talk to people about what they could do to find grace when you have fallen so far from it. Hope you enjoy it.&nbsp;</p>
