Poem -
LET ME BE
HEART OF A BACKSLIDER
I beg of thee let me be
Don't think of me
I've already rejected thee
My heart is turned
I've chosen the eternal flames
Let me burn in my own desires
Please forget my name
I refuse to live forever in your light
I love being caressed by the darkness
Give me the night
Yes you've created me
Beautiful and extraordinary
To bow at your alter and worship thee
But I have this strong desire
Deep within my soul
Sin has seduced my mind
And swallowed me whole
Please I beg of thee
Don't think of me
My mind is made up
And my heart has already rejected thee
Why don't you just let me be.
Wilford Barker.

wow! a powerful tragic truism of those that don't realize what they are giving up for so much less with the replicated drone, or artificial substitute!.........Jim
Hi Jim..
Thanks so much for taking time out to read and comment on this piece that is so dear to my heart.
Fab poem. I think it's important to be who we are. None of us are perfect...and who would want to be? We should embrace our dark sides sometimes. And anyway, all roads lead to Rome so they say. Great poem ⚘x
Point well taken. Thanks for stopping by.
