Unintended (Spoken Word)

Spinning in circles, 

going nowhere; 

jumping hurdles; 

gasping for air; 

seeking answers; 

not what it seems; 

empty promises; 

shattered dreams; 

careless whispers; 

racing minds; 

slow down a minute you're going blind.

things that matter, 

things that don't; 

people who'll care, 

people who won't; 

giving love, 

finding hate; 

hold my heart but please don't break.

searching for truth; 

telling lies; 

lovers laugh;

 loneliness cries; 

counting good deeds; 

subtracting sins; 

keeping score; 

no one wins; 

pain filled moments; 

stolen breaths; 

longing for shelter; 

inching toward death; 

a loving touch; 

a long embrace;

kissing lips; 

where is this place; 

hand to mouth; 

unattainable wealth;

 incurable disease; 

poor mental health; 

winners and losers; 

predators and prey...

I truly don't believe God intended it this way.
