A Double Minded Man

Sometimes my heart is full of joy

In blessed light I roam;

A smile affixed upon my face;

I dwell in a comfort zone.

Sometimes my heart is hollowed out ,

And darkness blinds my sight;

My temper flares;

My patience ‘s thin;

I argue fuss and fight!

Sometimes my goals are sought with sweat ,

Determination and will;

Into a despairing state.

Sometimes I love my woman so

For her I’d give my life;

I shower her with loving care;

A trial is like a mustard seed ;

A mountain is as an ant hill.

Sometimes I give up way too soon,

Surrender to my fate,

Allow defeat

To comfort me,

I’m happy that she’s my wife.

Sometimes my woman irks me so,

I long for a divorce;

I wink my eye,

When girls pass by;

For sex she’s not my choice.

Sometimes my soul dwells with God,

I walk the righteous path;

I’m vigilant in saintly works;

His words are a peaceful salve.

Sometimes I stroll with Lucifer;

In madness I dwell;

I seek to destroy a person’s joy;

I make a life pure hell.

What’s wrong with me?

Am I insane?

Are my mental thoughts retard?

Are there other men,

Who experience within,

This Jekyll and Hyde visage?

For I want to balance out my life,

And make my footsteps sure;

Of “ man” is mind,

I yearn to find that basic special cure.

A shrink will deem me crazy, yet

I know the answer’s there;

Just give me time and I’ll be fine;

So world please don’t despair!
