Embrace this God-thing.
Lost World
Lost World who would want to live in a world without God’s purpose Where boundaries have no name each human heart choses the beginning of its own tumultuous game no structure no solidity only constant fluidity rampant running from one idea to another as they lay sunning on rocks just waiting another innocent to be baiting not realizing each stone carries the lust of each heart’s own depravity guidelines are good standing out from the crowds as they should but […]
Words
Words Words, words That drip from The tip Of my pen Or the corner Of my lip Words, words Spit out into the sky They whiz, they buzz, they fly Inherently imbibed With power For the hour Into whence they have Been sent Sometimes careless, Sometimes meant To build or destroy So be careful with those words Those unkind or gracious pearls Thrown like darts Out from the heart Let them pour Another target to be scored Do not allow our only world To be killed Rather let them […]

This was recommended to me by my undergrad adviser (may not be the right term, I mean the prof that was grading me on my honors thesis in undergrad) a decade ago.
I ended up not writing on it. I honestly struggled to understand it.
It's still a little hard to understand, but I think I get it a lot more now in this stage of life.
"Carrion Comfort" is a phrase that's been buzzing around my mind lately, for reasons I can't quite get into, but let's say I was thinking about how we as humans reach for lesser comforts when we're hurting.
(I'm doing well, btw, don't worry ;)
Carrion Comfort
By Gerard Manley Hopkins
Not, I'll not, carrion comfort, Despair, not feast on thee;
Not untwist — slack they may be — these last strands of man
In me ór, most weary, cry I can no more. I can;
Can something, hope, wish day come, not choose not to be.
But ah, but O thou terrible, why wouldst thou rude on me
Thy wring-world right foot rock? lay a lionlimb against me? scan
With darksome devouring eyes my bruisèd bones? and fan,
O in turns of tempest, me heaped there; me frantic to avoid thee and flee?
Why? That my chaff might fly; my grain lie, sheer and clear.
Nay in all that toil, that coil, since (seems) I kissed the rod,
Hand rather, my heart lo! lapped strength, stole joy, would laugh, chéer.
Cheer whom though? the hero whose heaven-handling flung me, fóot tród
Me? or me that fought him? O which one? is it each one? That night, that year
Of now done darkness I wretch lay wrestling with (my God!) my God.
