Always Poem by Austin Jones

Always



insanity
doing it over again
but still expecting difference
am i going mad?
in this jail of minds
this little corner of h***
i found my achilles' heel
the chink in my armour
letting it all in
the world is pouring in
i tried to stop it
but it is futile
plugging a single hole in a sieve
so much
hurt
anger
fear
pain
i am a dropp in the ocean
but they insist im significant
but i know that 1 in billions
is worthless
except to you
you know the number of hairs on my head
you try to make me feel
that its all worth it
anything butpain
anger
fear
but i dont let you in
i dont widen the gash
in my heart
youre there but it still hurts
the pain will be there
Always

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This poem does make allusions to the bible, specifically with the"number of hairs on my head" line, but the poem is about a love that has hurt the subject, causing him pain because of the innate control and trust he places in her, and her irresponsiblity with that trust and love.

I'm not really sure but I think you are talking about yourself, sin and God please help understand but nicely placed words!
