Time's up!
23 April 2005
i despise myself for letting the cancer consume me with such great intensity.
the pain it caused and still brings
wrecks my being,
pounds on my very core.
i retaliate with my teeth and fists clenched;
trying to control this rage.
but this hate, i could no longer bear--
a stumbling block to my faith,
draws out buckets of tears of defeat
like rusty metal chains that wring my bleeding neck
how heavy and burdensome it is!
for years i couldn't fly because of this...
gasping for air in this air-tight bottle
this bottle of self-centeredness
i so long for my freedom...
i plea to its keeper to let go...
and let me be-- be me.

there's only one gatekeeper of our cages.
only one who holds the key to freedom and existence.
the only one who can take away our pain.
but somehow, we find comfort in our solitary confinement.
that's why even though our cages have been opened, we refuse to fly out.
or perhaps, we've been stuck for so long that we forget how to fly.
but remember, we're still under the great gatekeeper's wings.
comforting us, caring for us...
i hope i don't see you in the hundred years of solitude club.

pride?
don't wait for God to humble you, that's a more painful process.
lift it up.
not by your own strength can you be free. and certainly not by your own efforts.
God loves you. So much he allows you to see this.

nope... not about pride...
