Heaven is Earned 

AnthonyLeave a comment

Heaven Gained a New Angel by Ieris-Azer

We’re all looking for heaven

Looking for answers inside

Count to ten or eleven

Only then abide.

–

Journeys are long wrought with pain

Long perilous rocky climbs

Sometimes feeling all in vain

We must walk our lines.

–

Sadness and beauty fill our lives

The contrast can’t be ignored

Journey filled with sharpened knives

Or even a sword.

–

The hardest lessons are learned

Walk against the stiffest breeze 

All the while the world still turned

See flowers and trees.

–

For later on, we look back 

Seeing how far we have come

Our accomplishments all stacked

And we know we’ve won…

Stop staring at me

You don’t know me at all

Keep your judgements to yourself

Or else you’ll be the one to take the fall.

–

Just because I’m not like you

Doesn’t mean I’m in the wrong

I’ll beat to my own drummer

And I sing a different song.

–

Nonconformity is not a sin

It’s just another way to live life

True uniqueness and weirdness too

Has sometimes been a personal strife.

–

In my youth I wanted to belong

So much so that it made me sad

But when I didn’t fit in with my peers

It often left me feeling bad.

–

What could I say to myself

If I could journey back in time

Words of encouragement and self love

Like “No, Anthony, you’re not a slime”

–

So I let these words flow out of me

My aims are honest and true

I love this oddball of a guy

And I think the world will too…
