Memphis May Fire — Prove Me Right
So count your money and I’ll count my friends.

Hello world
Ain’t no friend of ya
So quit with all the smiles I wont bend for ya
I’m walkin’ straight better now than ever
I guess I started late now my heart’s awake
When did this all begin I guess it’s hard to say
All I really know is that something happened inside of me
And it was not my own I was chosen
Now I’m flippin’ paper for the prophets
I ain’t talking about how my pockets grown
Not the paper with the dead people faces
Talking about them dudes that I read in the pages
Now I’m seeing clear but I ain’t got Lasik
I’m thinking about my past I never shoulda made it
But God in His grace saw it fit to come and snatch me up
I draw the line in the sand no I ain’t backing up
Back in the days I was acting up
You know when communion came your boy had to pass the cup
Pass the bread too sin I was still in
Offering went in the plate my condoms almost fell in
Outside I’m feelin’ cool inside I’m yelling
Outside lookin’ free inside’s like a felon
Doing time for rebelling a slave to that sin that I was dwellin’ in
Bought the lie they were selling like go, get as many girls as you can
And get it out of your system now so you’ll put a rrrrring on that hand
Down the line when your thirty after you had like thirty different women
They so pretty feeling clean … getting dirty
Yuck, now what a lie from the mouth of Satan
Let’s use logic for verifying these statements
Well you keep chasing them you’ll only want more
Sin is never satisfied boy we at war with ourselves
You ever want something so bad it was all you could think about
Yo you had to have it
Then you finally get it you like it for a minute but then your eyes pivot
Now your on to something different we got God-sized longings
Why you try to fill em with them things that you can’t take with you in the coffin
The whole world judges us. But they don’t know us. They don’t understand us. They’ve never been us. And those who claim they have, and left, are lying. The vow we take is one that can never be broken, and is one we never want to break. The true love we feel and give out freely is the greatest thing that the human mind could even begin to imagine.
You call us out, and you base the mass of us on the errors of one. I am here to personally say sorry for that person, for perhaps the fake who takes what we are in vain, or the one of us who became confused and hurt in a world that gave no comfort.
But please, don’t tear us down, because you simply don’t know us. Where in history has anything good ever come of that? Do you really feel so good about yourself when you spit at us, and call us every vile name you can think of, simply because we cannot reach the perfection you expect of us.
We may be Christians, but we are still human. We still make mistakes. The whole purpose of our faith, the whole purpose of Christ and his love, was because we make mistakes. Without our mistakes, there would be no Christianity. I wouldn’t be here writing about this love that is cursed at by those who do not feel it.
I ask you as a peaceful warrior, to think before you speak. You may tear us down for one thing after another, but you fail to look at yourself. What gives you the right or the superiority over us, to call us down for our smallest of failures… for the tiniest of misunderstandings.
You spit at us, because you don’t know us. You curse us, because you don’t understand us. You hurt us, because you want to forget us… but you can’t.
And all that time you spend taking out your anger on something you can’t understand, all we WANT is for you to understand. To take that one moment, and humble yourself for a few seconds to hear us. To understand and feel this love.
We love you while you hate us. We care for you while you push us away.
We will be there for you, when you abandon us.
And every night, we pray that the day will come when you no longer hate us, push us away, or abandon us. We pray the day will come when you can stand next to us, smiling, and understanding who we are, because you are who we are.
We wait for the day, when you stand beside us, fighting a hateful world with the greatest weapon man has ever known…
Love.
Despite all the things there to make me happy. Despite all the things I feel God is doing to distract my thoughts. Despite all of it… despite the fact that it’s been five weeks.
I still break inside. All I have to do is see that smile once, that face just look at me once, say one thing in their happy voice, and I’m destroyed inside.
I love it, and I hate it.
I melt into memories, and I can barely focus on my work. But then I realize… those are probably the only memories I’ll get… and that they probably won’t be relived.
I die inside. It still hurts. What’s worse is I think I’m the only one hurting…
I told you.
You didn’t believe me. You told me it would never happen.
You lied. Now I’m right. And sometimes… I wish I had never brought it up. Being right hurts so much more then being wrong. I’m sorry. For everything.
Goodnight Tumblr.
