Count the cost

Started 1-30-12 finished 11-3-12

I’m a Pharisee trippen at the edge of stupidity

Caught up in the mess of arrogance

Thinking less about how much I’m blessed

And more about how much I can score

 

It’s a point game you see

But it’s never enough for me

I find myself at a loss

Cause I didn’t count the cost

 

Regret seeps in

Causing my head to spin

Wishing for more

But not the score

 

Something more real

That’s just how I feel

Here on my knees I kneel

Wishing for more time to heal

 

Dreaming of going back in time

To make things turn out just fine

To fix the brokenness

And end the bitter distress.

Not too sure about the last two stanza's.

This is very powerful, friend!

I really like stanza two:
"It’s a point game you see
But it’s never enough for me
I find myself at a loss
Cause I didn’t count the cost"

...along with stanza four:
"Something more real
That’s just how I feel
Here on my knees I kneel
Wishing for more time to heal"!!!

Keep writing!
