What is left to say?
Proverbs 13:12
12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.
What is left to live for if one can’t trust self?
What is there left to do if one’s actions replenish doubt?
What is left to give if you are empty and dry?
If your actions are deceitful always crying out
Where do you think you’re standing on sinking sand?
Are you hanging on to your lost integrity?
With both hand hanging on to your fallen nature
blaming God and man for your chosen reality
Being dark has no way out of misery
Like being sucked up in a constant fall
No light at all to show the state of depravity
No soft voice to lead you only anguish after all
When hope is gone and helplessness strangles
And fear of the uncertain takes your breath away
Completely broken down as despair is reigning
As you know there is little now left to say
Jan Wienen
