HARD HEAD **don't that hurt?** (61 hits)


you just don’t get it

you just don’t get it



the many times

that you have

bumped your head

hasn’t made you

any smarter



because you keep

finding that

same ole wall

and bumping

your head

even harder



you keep traveling

in the same circle

hoping it will

become straight



not realizing your

own fate

is on the direct

line



time after time

you persist to

carry that baggage

on your back



thinking you standing

upright

but your bent over

and that’s a fact



you talk the talk

but the walk ain’t real

so you continue to feel

the need for happiness



but

that steady bump

on your head

is leaving you characterless



your body

is your temple

it’s just that simple



but you fail

to learn that lesson



so you keep on

banging you head on a wall

and traveling that circle

missing all your blessings



filling your holy place

with poison and grime



wasting your time

trying to find

something that’s

already there



seems like

you are scared

to let your

divine shine

manifest



so you search

for it on the outside

in a world of

hopelessness



desperation calls you

and you run

right toward it

head first



don’t that bump

on your head hurt?



ain’t you tired

of being sick and tired?



don’t you want

to be free

of misery?



i’ve come to

innerstand

that the divine plan

is not your way



you’d rather stay

in what you think

is a comfort zone



but it ain’t comfort

at all

it’s just a fast fall

into despair



and the glare

from that

can be harmful

to your eyes



cause you

to go blind



that’s right



blind to the facts



this is not an attack

upon your existence

it’s just a mention

of your counterfeit contentment



in hopes that you see

how complete

you can be

when you stop

bumping your head

on that wall..

Ohhhh sis... You said a mouthful with this one.
I remember the bump and heck yeah it hurt! LOL
Truth be told what I remember most is finding myself and taking a different path taking MY LIFE back. It was refreshing and the new found freedom is priceless.

Gurl... I don't think I know a soul who can't relate. Not sure they would all readily admit but hey we know how people like to live in that stagnant city of DENIAL.
I've conquered all that... THANK GOD!!!

GIrrrrl!!! I sported that bump at a an unhealthy time of my life!!! Whewwww chile!! It ached continually because I was not able to grasp, that this was the same wall I kept trying to break through. When I turned it all over to the Creator, He showed me how to go around that wall choosing the path he had already prepared for me.

Awesome and enlightening scribe!

At one time I thought I was the only one with the (act rights) bumps on my head, we have to quit going in those circles.
