love and hate, love and hate
why can't it wait
it hurts so bad
you don't want to get mad
you lose control and can't figure anything out
your feelings go on without you
they pass you by
leaving you confused
love and hate, love and hate
why can't it wait
things you once knew
are no longer
things that were once fact
are now fiction
lost hope, lost cause
you want to stay
the pain within grows
not letting you rest
but still you try your best
others are at stake
this ain't easy
being true begins at you
if you don't know yourself
how can you know others
confusion sets in
life is good, but could it be better
you can't figure it out
you try, but is there any justice
i sit, i think
i become restless and depressed
happiness is my goal
but sadness in either choice
what can i do
how do i survive
how do i go on
sorrow and hurt
sorrow and hurt
comes to everyone
this isn't supposed to be
life is too short
where's the enjoyment in confusion
the music plays on
i sit, i think
a ray of sunshine on both paths
but clouds loom overhead
a gray shadow lingers on
God loves all the same
and He forgives
so why can't we forgive ourselves
thoughts on a page
pen to paper
eventually even the ink will fade
is anything definite
is anything final
other than heaven and hell
no one says life is easy,
but how long does the
hardship go on
still i wonder the possibilities
good and bad
love and hate
sorrow and hurt
misery is destiny
people change and life goes on
but you'll never forget
you'll never forget
what it was like
what it could have been
the hopes, the dreams
fade away, leaving an emptiness inside
God is my only hope
my only solution
how long must i wait
to be sure
i know He listens to my cries
i know He cares
how long must i wait
one is right, one is wrong
which one is which
earth is too big
life has too much to offer
how can we handle it all
how can we decide
let go and let God
the only answer that makes sense
but He needs us to act
we are His hands, His feet
we just have to hear His voice
then shall we know the right way.
About Me
- -eltjr-
- i am -eltjr-. one man living as one man. living life, one day at a time. past regrets? sure. present equanimity? striving. future hopes? absolutely. i am 29 yrs old, living in rural america, enjoying the simple, while contemplating the depth of my own revelation. i try to keep an idealistic view, while keeping my finger on the pulse of reality. God is our creator and i am what i am by the loving grace which has continuously rained on the very essence of my existence. laughter makes the day brighter and the memories sweeter. intellect should never replace faith, while love should remain at the forefront of our motivation. pondering the possibility of truth in another's ideas without accepting them is essential in the communication of those with higher quotient levels of intelligence. there are no perfect men only perfect intentions. if we are to ever understand others, we must first understand ourselves. never allow your feelings to overpower wisdom. always expect the unexpected. never pass up an opportunity to brighten someone else's day. live, learn, laugh, love.
