Where We All Belong
Where We Truly Belong
if I write
another song
maybe it’ll stink
or so I might think
or maybe it’s just where I belong
a drunken fool
with an artist’s head
who could be cruel
or better off dead
but I’m still here
not in the clear
or even near
healing all my wounds
that so often I've bled
even with the lies I’ve said
I don’t honestly think
I'd be better off dead
but that’s just me
I guess we’ll see
the man I was
born to be
Lord please give me time
I know it’s a crime
to not have known
the real truth
about the true me
but now I believe
the truth shall set you free
so here I stand
before You Lord
confessing everything
I have done wrong
please believe in me
keep me strong
because near You
it's where I truly belong
DWM
About this poem
I was looking for an answer to the question of ‘do I write to get closer to God or do I get closer to God to write??’
