When God Came Along Solitude Poem by Leonard Rebello

Took a walk with my ego along the shores of solitude
He showed me the wondrous sights there are to be unscrewed

The pictures blur but the memories crystal clear
Of the days I thought would never end so severe

Loved myself too little and hated myself too much
Walked through life with one broken crutch

Have been hurt Have hurt others
Everyone I met on the way were just pathetic actors

Loved red pink blue and white
Now I only know black and pitch black but it’s alright

Sometimes faked a smile n walked a mile
Hid the truth behind life’s stockpile

Grew up believing in fairy tales, thinking it's a beautiful world
Then I was appalled with the truth that this world holds

Tried to fool myself and hide behind my dreams
tried to make everything as simple as it seems

But deep inside, there were thousands of bursting tears,
with every smile that I used to give there were thousand fears

Ended up with a broken heart,
ended up with my life ripped apart.

Wound up left alone in the darkness, crying,
Gave up and just quit trying

People worship holy spirits
But who cares to dignify the angel shoved to the fringes

In the process unhinged my soul
It took time to come out of my hellhole

But the mighty god joined me along the shores of solitude
And gave my parched soul the much needed soul food.

He said a beginning every end brings
From hollow a life springs
