THE MYRIAD

WE WILL BE DISAPPOINTED TOGETHER


*Bolded are the lines most important to me

i'm waiting with my arms up high
my eyes pulled tight to lines of worry
that you won't meet me here tonight

am i reaching enough?
am i reaching at nothing?
am i reaching enough?
am i reaching at all?

tonight we will be disappointed together

this sickness for your hands abounding
like some holy disease
a perfect symphony resounding


For so long I felt like I couldn't reach any higher
It felt like I had devoted my life to God
I don't understand why it took me so long to figure out that I hadn't
I was asking for something, so that due to it I could dive in finally
but it never came. or maybe it did.
but not in any way I could've imagined myself being satisfied with.
sometimes I'm just so scared that i'm not giving enough to God
It feels like I've devoted every aspect to Him
but it feels like there should be more
I still feel like I'm a bit in control even though i've given that up

and when my something came, and when my something left
how much more disappointed can one get?
but then i felt infected by a neverending need to be in His embrace
and so much good has come from that
but I still want more
I still doubt my 'reaching' efforts
I'm still worried that I'm not meeting with God properly
are my efforts satisfactory?
are they useless?
are they comparably non-existent?
