Mercy

Contributed by Archie on Tuesday, 15th September 2015 @ 09:56:31 PM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



I could be vengeful for what they've done
Thinking they are more worthy of being heard than me
Instead I'm waiting for them to come
Although I know it will never be

They see my mercy
but they don't see my sorrow
They expect to see it still tomorrow

They do not know what I will do
For I can be unlistening too

They think my words are so in vain
by paying little mind to them
And now the reckoning begins
And yet I'll never be like them

They see my mercy
but they don't see my sorrow
They expect to see it still tomorrow

They do not know what I will do
For I can be unlistening too

Maybe if they heard me
Maybe we would be friends
But because of negligence
Our friendship will end

They'll hardly notice I've moved on
Until they see that I am gone
Equality has been ignored
By vanity and those I've scorned

They see my mercy
but they don't see my sorrow
They expect to see it still tomorrow

They do not know what I will do
For I can be unlistening too

I'll go to them
Who are good about being friends
And they'll miss hearing my voice
Seeing late this was their choice

(That's who I'm called to)

They see my mercy
but they don't see my sorrow
They expect to see it still tomorrow

They do not know what I will do
For I can be unlistening too





The promise of things to come

Great Write! Reminds me of my poem
"Not Understood" I could feel your pain in this write very strong.

Thanks for sharing

I love the strength in your words, repeated throughout so there can be no mistaking you mean business. The message I received from this is we can only control ourselves and our own actions. We mustn't let someone take that power from ourselves, or else us, and us alone will suffer. I am told there is great relief and happiness to be found in only worrying about our side of the street...To only tackle our own obstacles, and to give them away when the weight is too much for one to bear. Everything may not happen the way that we had wanted, but it will occur just as it should.


Let it go. Wonderful. Thanks for posting.
