Tyler Duvall - Free Post #3 - Personal Poem


Mouse

 

 

I thought I could be a better man if I could build my image and prove the strength of my hands

But that plan, no, a blueprint provider, building on the sands, a prophetic disaster

No laughter here, endless drops of sweat to achieve affection leaving me upset

Intimacy was a far off dream since the only love I knew was plastered on the screen

Fulfilled it seems, everything I wanted was a mouse click away

But that mouse had me running down every dark hole chasing in a craze

Till CRACK! The spring of a trap left me alone, beaten, and all my strength sapped

I was pinned for a decision, my choices came alive;

I could die to self or face the light

Or keep on fighting in hopes to survive another endless night

How quickly God exists when our only options are limited to following His

True intimacy isn’t my flesh in contact with another

It’s when I reach out my hands to press His palms together

Like a pushup, I finally get up as a man not a mouse

It’s in this moment when the hunter becomes the hunted

And the enemy is no longer my beloved, he is my trophy hung on the walls of my house

For in Christ I am now the hunter and the enemy is the mouse
