I've attempted
over the course of
25 years
on countless pages
inked in innumerable tears
never shed from my eyes
to lay down in between these pages
a handbook to go along with
what comes along with this gift
that I call my craft
and what I can do with it
and your heart
if given some room to play
a part
in time
by my design
you may never understand
who or what I be
still you'll
be thankful you met me
and I...

I will thank God
that He made you
and recreate His image
of Himself in you
in ways that only I can do
as He works wonders
thru my pen
and I am bestowed with the power
to single handedly immortalize
mere men
like forever isn't a concept
defying the idea that
nothing that walks this earth
ever does so endlessly
but I know that
to not be...

though there be
no formula to my madness
remember there was none
to His mercy
laid over the least suspected
while seemingly missing
over those thought to be
most protected
these words do just that
for the souls of the broken
lost and thrown away
and there's no formula
my God just made me
this way
