Cognitive Dissonance

An experience of cognitive dissonance
As one living here on Earth
Being told of how it is
From the very moment of birth

Yet something deep inside
Told me this can't be completely true
I think that I have always known
There was something I needed to do

I've always felt this pull
To the place I really belong
But to leave before it's time
I guess that would really be wrong

I think that life right here
Is sort of a finishing school
The knowledge that you learn here
Is such an invaluable tool

There's only two ways to go
Either dishing out love or pain
But real love is just sacrifice
You'll have to hurt to gain

I remember when I realized
What wasn't really real
My love made his own sacrifice
So now I know the deal

Home is really calling me
Getting stronger everyday
To the place where love is waiting for me
That sure will be a good day

Until that day arrives
I'll work humbly on my mission
Getting back to that place of love
Is my biggest ambition

Tuesday Afternoon

Here I am
Another Tuesday afternoon
Will these frustrations
End anytime soon

I knew I was different
Ever since I was born
When the angels escorted my
One sunny,Sunday morn

I tried my whole life
To always fit in
At times it worked
But the truth remained within

When given an assignment
That you would prefer not
You must do it anyway
It's from God and what you've got

I won't give up
Although it's so hard
I don't even understand it
Yet I won't disregard

Please help me get through
I'm having one of those days
Looking forward to the promise
Of those heavenly rays
