Contrast and Understanding

  “Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand”

~Contrast and Understanding~

I fall down and then I fall down even deeper.

Slanted and deceptive, a snake creeping and slithering to the end.

I fall down and fall again.

Covered by the crowd and what they believe is true.

They tell me jump to the left.

But I feel like jumping to the right.

I fall down and then I fall down even deeper.

Ignoring the righteous and hurting the lamb.

I fall down and fall again.

Engulfed by the waves and hurling towards the deep.

They tell me to take the bait.

But I feel like taking my crown.

Contrast and understanding.

Black and white.

Slipping to the left, slipping to the right.

I fall down and the take my crown.

As I drown a hand comes.

As I am covered a hand reaches.

Why is it that sometimes I do not grasp on?

I fall down and then I fall even deeper.

If I grab the savior I will rise back up.

But then so many times I fall down and fall again.
