Topic: Inculcation

INCULCATION


I was never a part of the scene.

I was comin' apart at the seams.

My Jesus, all I could see...

Sure God, was dwellin' in me.


Alone with the truth, in bed as a child...

Wrestling desperately, flailing and wild.

Hoping against hope, that it could be true... 

Jesus would love me, but what could I do?


Hated myself with a passion.

Sure I'd burn after this for my actions.

Knew I just had to believe.

Took decades for me to break free.



Alone with the truth, in bed as a child...

Wrestling desperately, flailing and wild.

Hoping against hope, that it could be true... 

Jesus would love me, but what could I do?


I slept, at night with my demons.

A dreamin' and always a fearin'...

That Jesus would come back and set me on fire...

All the while Satan, wearing a smile.


Alone with the truth, in bed as a man...

At peace with the facts, just do what I can.

False hope is blinding, faith is a lie.

Take your time, look closer, just analyze.

Re: Inculcation

Thanks for your reply.

Strange can mean so many different things.

I really gain so much more insight into my own psyche when I share what I write.

What particuarly, in your honest opinion, pushes this into the category of strange for you?

Thanks again.

I really appreciate candor.

One of my best friends calls it rigorous honesty.  I often refer to it as my best version of the truth (at that moment in life of course).

I'd really appreciate it if you would be willing to further expound about the wording.

It assists me in my efforts to communicate well.

Re: Inculcation

i dig it.  its short and very effectively gets the point across and has excellent flow IMO.  I can relate to the wrestling of demons.  Would very easily translate into a song

singin the blues one brew at a time

Re: Inculcation

Thank you punkrawker.

All of my songs are available for remix, reuse, repurposing as long as attribution is given.

I always enjoy hearing what others hear in their heads whenever they read the poem/lyrics.

Love to hear your take.

It would inspire my direction as well.

Thanks again for replying.
