hypocritically blind of my own state of mind.
where guilt is knocking on my heart
trying to get me to realize.

hypocritically blind to all of the signs
that show my path to destruction
but i brush it off and move on with my time.

hypocritically blind, to see the darkness inside of me
eating my soul alive, taking over my body,
taking over my soul, taking over me.

hypocritically blind to change myself,
and to stop the false teachings of
the world from controlling me.

hypocritically blind to take responsibility,
for the wrong in me, then i blame
my problems on God and curse the name of Thee.

hypocritically blind to know that God was all
I needed all along. In spirit and in truth.

hypocritically blind to do something about this.
rather than build myself up, i let myself fall.
lies, deceit, and sin is what build my walls.
like a burning house i burn and fall.

Hypocritically blind to know my name has vanished
vanished out of the book of life,
that is my punishment for living two different lives.

i wish i could change, but i'm to hypocritically blind.
i turn away from the glasses of truth, that i need
to guide me, i've turned away so many times
..there's no more truth inside of me.

The author's comments:
This was inspired by some of the people that were very hypocritical to me. I am a christian teenager and its hard spreading your faith when the others around you are being false. I wrote this poem in the shoes of an hypocrite.
