Poem: The Price I Pay

Posted byDevin HoggPosted inPoetryTags:

What is the price I pay
For following my heart?
Is my destiny filled with pain
Loneliness among these stars?
Am I to spend m life alone
Adrift in this black sea?
Should I take comfort
In being there
For those I love
And who I hope love me?
Is this the price
For swearing to follow God
Wherever She may lead?
If this be so
If the price I pay
Is ne’er to take a lover:
I pay it gladly
For the good I do
By being who I must be.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TV and movies, going on long walks, swimming, and practicing Chen style Tai Chi. I love to write poetry and blog regularly about topics such as mental health, sci-fi/fantasy series, faith, sexuality, and politics.
