R.I.P. (Radical. Immortal. Poetry.)

Work in Progress

Writing sure works in wondrous ways

Especially on my worst of days.

But talking to you beats the stress.

Your spirit, I'll wear as a dress.

-

I desperately need to be more like you

Whose kindness and love is genuine and true.

But no matter what I do, I can't reflect who you are.

My thoughts and actions are evidently far.

-

How long am I gonna be a work in progress?

Is it really supposed to be a lifetime process?

But all this time, I'm tarnishing your holy name.

All that is left or me is my sin and shame.

-

If only it's the right things that I do

So some of my prayers might come true

But that's just my discontentment speaking,

It's still the world that I was seeking.

-

But I keep remembering that you died in my place

So why am I still wasting that amazing grace?

I want to be cleansed from within and surrender.

So I'll be qualified to be with you forever.
