Bleed ,Rip and Tear (Sonnet) by NoSage

In senseless agony We let small wounds bind Our hearts and our minds. Don't just struggle with the bonds Bleed, rip and tear At the fabric that you wear, Don't cloak yourself with ignorance... EXPAND. What Is mediocre? An excuse to your friends? Would it stand up in the end? Really, Would God just say; "Well Jason, You were quite lukewarm in your faith today, But I will grant you entrance anyway".

Please don't call this a sonnet. Thank you, I feel better now.

The first half is a nice little sermon on using small hurts to our advantage. Some will say that all preaching in poetry is bad. "Show, don't tell," they chant endlessly. But I like your little sermon. Then you get weird with the lukewarm thing, as if you might be bringing Scripture into it. And when God talks, well, it seems like a another way of saying to use hurts to our advantage.
