Tangled Thoughts



I stand here frozen,
to this notion,
that there will only be one like You.

Close your eyes and analyze the tangled thoughts I want You to see. Believe.
Oh, please, Believe!

There will be many doors to unlock,
many to slam shut,
but when the time comes,
you will know what's right.

You may be judged by your beautiful skin,
no matter the shade,
'cause that's what some do,
who knows no better,
                                    BUT You Do.

You are Expected to change this world,
remembering that You are nothing without Him.
 Nor can a train roam free.

You must carry the pages I've cried on,
but in these tangled thoughts,

The answer will be born...
                                            The answer will be born.
