Poems from Another Lifetime Part 9
by Marijo Phelps This is part of a series of poems which were written years ago before I came to know Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Some were written when I was a professing atheist and an alcoholic. If you have read my pieces since I came to Jesus I think the contrast is evident. Poems from Another Lifetime Part 9 THE ACTRESS He loves her, she loves him They truly love each other Yet, he is puzzled, doubtful HE calls her an actress In reality, she's just a girl Discovering love. She's unsure of herself Like a colt Trying out her new legs Puzzled, not so much by him As a whole world of new feelings, Fears and emotions she has He perceives he's hurt her When she's really hurt herself Her first kiss came from him He was the first To whom she spoke The magical words "I love you" She is so sincere I wonder if he realizes Just how sincere. SELFISHNESS ME,ME,ME, I,I,I, Never you, she or they. ME,ME,ME, I,I,I, All along life's merry way I'm the only ONE who matters Why should I bother to think the other way? ME,ME,ME, I,I,I, Becomes more satisfying every day ME,ME,ME, I,I,I, Why bother about you, she or they? Why should I think About that insignificant three They've never done a single thing For ME,ME, ME I'm great! I'm glorious! The world should look at ME! World, I'm here, look at ME and see. World, look at ME Or have your eyes and hearing ceased? I don't get any attention. Not any in the least! Where is everyone, the people I see every day? Where is everyone, have they all gone astray? Someone talk to ME, speak to ME I say. Nobody's here, they've all gone away. me, me, me, I, I, I NEVER YOU, SHE or THEY me, me, me, I, I, I as my life slowly fades away CHANGE A SELFISH ONE? To change a selfish person It to move heaven and earth Love if a selfish person Can even love Might deviate those egotistical thoughts For awhile But in the end Even love in not enough to produce the change And the self-centered person Reverts to his former self. After this It is hopeless to try Useless to go on I know because I loved a selfish one Loved and lost him Lost him to himself.
