Hello... I've been around the Christian forums for quite some time but I never really realized there was a writer's forum here. So, just for kicks, I'm going to post my most recent song/poem that I wrote a few weeks ago. Like it or hate it - your choice, of course.
The Shattered Mirror
by: ravendta
So arrogantly blind
To the obvious
Seven years ago this day
The broken chains of love
Lying at my feet
My new life and new future await
It wasn't supposed to be this way
This wasn't a part of the plan
A single hour of uncontrolled lust
Has left me eternally damned
The images of my former self come floating back to me
Much less different than I'd hoped
Reflection hasn't changed one bit despite my endless search
The mirror shows me the same pathetic soul
Took one mistake to shatter the glass
And I'm starting all over again
Seven more years of isolation
When will this insanity end
Turning the pages of my life
The story has turned out all wrong
Whatever happened to my happy ending
Is there a place I belong
Do I have a future in this world
Do I even have a place
Not in a world full of heartless monsters
Who constantly spit in my face
It wasn't supposed to be this way
This wasn't a part of the plan
I didn't believe that the acceptance I sought
Was such a great demand
The images of my former self come floating back to me
Much less different than I'd hoped
Reflection hasn't changed one bit despite my endless search
The mirror shows me the same pathetic soul
Took one mistake to shatter the glass
And I'm starting all over again
Seven more years of isolation
When will this insanity end
Darkness closing in on me
Hopelessness and despair
The black wind begins to blow
The pain too much to bear
Trapped inside this endless circle of pain
Torturous fear and strife
Bring me hope, bring me love
Pull me from my shattered life
The images of my former self come floating back to me
Much less different than I'd hoped
Reflection hasn't changed one bit despite my endless search
The mirror shows me the same pathetic soul
Took one mistake to shatter the glass
And I'm starting all over again
Seven more years of isolation
When will this insanity end
Terrible silence encompasses me
Isn't there anyone out there?
