I sound like you
I feel like you
I think like you
I am not you
I am that which makes you fail
I am the one who makes you second guess
I am the one that casts doubt
I am both subtle and brash
I cause rejection
I cause anxiety
I cause squandered chances
I cause passivity and aggression
It is I whom you rely on
It is I whom you put your trust
It is I who leads you into folly
It is I who frustrates you
It is my voice that pervades your mind
It is my advice you so often take
It is my wisdom you listen too
It is my experience that makes you give in
Though you know I am false
Though you know I am wrong
Though you know I am empty
Though you know I am a lie
I tell you I'm true
I tell you I'm right
I tell you I am abundance
I tell you I am truth
You creature of I don't think so
You creature of just wait
You creature of not yet
You creature of maybe not
You know me quite well, don't you?

Hi Ryan, very cool writing. You obviously have had experiences to be able to articulate like that... makes me question what voice I'm listening to and living by.
Ryan - Cool Stuff. Poetry is kind of a hobby for me as well. Your stuff is cool. It points to Christ. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more of your stuff.
