When He Is I And I Is Me

Have you ever come to the point in life,
Meaning when you’re caught in inner strife,
When he is I and I is me,
Not knowing which way to turn or let it be?

Do you stand up for those who cannot speak,
Or twiddle your fingers, pretending to be antique?
You wonder, is it safe to turn the other cheek,
Or will it backfire, making you appear weak?

There’s always an internal battle inside,
Between what we believe and what we try to hide.
From the moment of birth, throughout our life,
We wrestle with ourselves through endless strife.

Perhaps the question isn’t who is wrong or right,
But whether we have the courage to step into the fight.
For sometimes silence can speak just as loud—
And sometimes standing alone means standing proud.

    Canvas and I are one,Every stroke becomes my pen.No painting can compare to none,For life itself creates again. The canvas holds a mirror,Reflecting what I cannot see.It took years to draw nearer,To understand the art of me. Through passing years, affection grew,For every shade and every hue.Until at last I came to see,The hidden portrait… Read more: The Canvas and I Are One

  • After Emancipation, We Still Live in the Dark
    After emancipation, yet in sin we live in the dark,Our faith lies deep within the shadows, waiting for a spark. Many think they’re truly living while the shadows silently lurk,Believing they have found salvation, aboard an ark. Bound by blood, we stand together,Sharing this world through every storm and weather. From birth upon this earth… Read more: After Emancipation, We Still Live in the Dark
