Inner Dilemma

Determined with no direction

To cure what's wrong with society

To heal the inner child inside of me

Crying, crying, a voice unheard

God's voice telling me to calm down

That He doesn't want to see me frown

To take some time to bask in His glory

Although I can't see past anxiety

Woes for the world falling apart

Tears from behind a silent heart

Yearning, unsure just how to fix



Analyzing, questioning

Attempting to provide an equation

That will become the solution

Planning carefully, unclear resolution

Utter confusion, footing for ground

People masking problems all around

Wondering why they hide it so

Shouldn't we fix it, then let it go?

Must not be the answer, you see

They respond to that question

With a common negativity

Telling me to let it be as it is

Keep moving on, regardless of stat

Somehow I feel like this is how

The world has gotten where it's at!



Continually fighting these internal wars

So I stopped to ask what's all this for?

I am only me, a person of one

How much do I expect to have done?

Every now and then I deserve to rest

Because I know that I've done my best

Yet it's hard, there's so much to accomplish

And I do it for the future of my own kids.
