Losing Myself in You by ~polinius:iconpolinius:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Spiritual > Open


Losing myself in you
Saying goodbye to everything I was
Is this the last time I'll see what I used to be?
I'm left standing, feeling half of myself

I'm alive, but I feel dead to myself
I can't seem to feel the right things
And I feel so detached from life
But I know that the storm will pass

And when it does you'll be there
With your arms outstretched
Your hands of love and acceptance
reaching out to touch my soul

But I fall so hard, so many times
And I feel like I am of no use to you
But you knew my struggles
when you died on the cross

and you did it anyway........

yeah, this is about God and our relationship with him. it is called Losing Myself in you because as a Christian we are called to take on the ideals and actions of Christ. Being like Christ is basically what being a christian means. now that is an impossible task, but we must strive for it anyway. I was at a Bible College chapel service, seeing as I go to Bible College and all, and one of my classmates was telling part of his testimony. He said that after He was changed from a non christian to a christian, that he felt like He had lost so much of what He used to be, and He just didn't know who He was anymore. I guess what I'm trying to communicate is that we don't lose our identities, rather we find them. Knowing who you are in God is a very simple, very complex matter, that I still don't even half comprehend, but basiaclly I think it is all about putting your self worth in God and What He thinks of you, and not what people think of you. I sued to base my whole self worht on what this girl thought of me, but then I learnt to just let it all go and trust in God. Afterall, if I'm good enough for God to come down to earth and die for, I mustn't be half bad right! right! right................ ok enjoy the poem.

Your description threw me off. :P You wrote so much about the poem, and the poem was so small. It's good! But it seems so contained, apparently you had a whole lot of feelings about this, as your description shows, I'd like to see you put all of that into your poem instead. ^-^ Don't worry about form, though I don't think you do too much because you don't bother with rhyme, but let go and ramble in your poetry. You have a lot to say, say it. Poems don't have to seem "poetic", I honestly enjoyed reading your description more than the poem.

But anyway, the poem. The poem was good. It is good. It's easy to understand and relate to, being a Christian as well. Keep writing, for sure.

yeah, we have all been there at one point or another. I found that in grade 8 at school, We were taught heaps of stuff about identity but back then it wasn't even a rpeoblem. I didn't really start to question my idenityt until grade 12 at shool and after that, and I am only just beginning to know who I am. But I still don't know completely. oh well, thanks for the comment.

:) You will find out, don't worry, as long as you follow God. Not that I would know much about it.
