You Didn't Know?

That curse that you carry
Like a stone in your heart,
The heartbreak of loneliness
Which holds you apart,
What anger you cherish!
By injustice undone!
The weight of unfairness
Is insanity's son.
Blocked from fulfillment
Through society's venues.
They see only the surface,
Thus make everyone lose.
Didn't you know?
Haven't you heard?
There IS a Deliverer,
Who hears every word!
That ugliness cursed,
You've abused yourself for?
Try seeing it His way,
He's given you more!
Didn't you know?
You're not lost in the lie?
That all life consists of
Is what is seen with the eye?
Didn't you know?
You won't waste your life?
You're forced to dig deeper?
Past meaningless strife?
Didn't you know?
Jesus waits in the wing?
While you exhaust your own effort?
Then acknowledge Him King?
Didn't you know?
He feels all your sorrow?
Will carry you always?
Today and tomorrow?
Didn't you know?
That He cares for you?
He's been where you're at?
Then died for you too?
Didn't you know?
If you'll just open your eyes?
You'll see you're near to the heart?
Of Him who is wise?
Understand that true ugliness
Is him with it all,
who's heart is contemptuous,
In place of mercy, a wall.

By the way everyone (so you won't think I wrote this for you), this is an internal dialog.

So many questions?
So little time?
Such a disaster?
My eye has begun?
And what is the answer?
Whatever shall I do?
I'll just leave a comment?
And make it for you!
