Proverbs 24:1-22 (Godless.)

Every sentence
spoke an anecdote
to each of my troubles

For I was disturbed

by the pace of some peers
which I cannot catch up to
and people who I cannot blend with

by a missing activity
in a lobe of my brain
as wisdom enters and leaves too soon
hurried away by a numbness

by worry and concern
of unmet desires
and falling short of responsibilities

by a consistent tug
of disappointment
weakening me as days pass

by a burden for
those who need God
but do not see
how they could carry on

by a fear of appearing dumb
to the people around
because of the way I talk
for God knows my heart
and I must not keep secret
any revelation of the gospel

by a processing once lost
of wisdom and soundness
— leading to darkness

and so by a future so dark
dimming as hope
was becoming bleak

by so many falls
consecutively

by envy and covetousness
of things not to be
— things that will not be

by a reverence distracted
from the One to whom it's due

The godless man does not have peace.
