Obedience

By thewritegurl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Why after this long storming winter Do I fear the light of the sun Why after leaving behind all my aspirations Do I want to run? Life often takes me to places Kicking and screaming I don't want to go But if you don’t go where life is calling You'll never know What was there for you Obedience Obedience Why can't I ever just be true to myself Too afraid to look inside Afraid of the life I might find Cigarette in hand He's so handsome to me Wish he'd put out the fire That's consuming me Obedience Obedience We fall to our knees without question Ready to die We do what we're told no objection There's not a word that I comprehend today Too much going on in my head I sit alone and wonder Where we would all go If tomorrow the world ended But we're not meant to go there In our minds Gibberish, none of this makes sense I've lost my mind and it's obvious I'm living the saddest song And it will never make the radio Obedience Obedience God willing I'll be obedient Written March 29th, 2002 © on Mar 29 2002 06:21 AM PST, Nicole   20 • 0 • 1
