to be

I simply cannot write anymore.
I have been trying.
I either have no time or no will to write anymore.
I cannot write.

Instead I will tell you about my life.

My life is a busy and confusing mess.
My life is a compressed and unknown catastrophe.
My life is a void and hollow disaster.
but my God is none of these things.
but my God creates me continually
to be the man I need to be.
to be the leader I need to be.
to be the voice that needs to speak.
to be the actions I have yet to make.
to be the song the world has yet to hear.
to be the friend to rest your head.
to be the follower of a risen cause.
to be the catalyst to spur others on.
to be the life others see Him in.

light reading.

It’s funny now looking back on all the time
I spent trying to get to you and, now, I’m alright
with not knowing a single thing you do
I’m sure I dont mean a thing to you

I’m okay with moving on
I’m okay with hearing your song
but maybe someday, I’ll finally figure you out

if I figure you out it wont change
you wont change, I figured that out

you’re such a lost cause and a lonely bird
I can’t stand reflecting on every word you said
“you’re my future, my future is with you”
It’s funny now how I thought you were just fine

I’m okay with moving on past these things
I’m okay replaying every moment we had
but maybe someday, I’ll figure you out

don’t read too far into this, if you’re even reading at all
I dont think you did a month ago so I doubt I have much to fear
I just need some space and a little time to figure out what happened
but you wont help me there, no. No. No.

Selfishness ruins everything, especially simple conversation that would help me understand
Selfishness ruins everything, like the character I thought you had.
Selfishness ruins everything, especially simple maturity to handle things correctly.
Selfishness ruins everything, like the person I thought you were.

Selfishness ruins everything, I was too selfish to realize.
Selfishness ruins everything, I was too blind to look past your eyes.
Selfishness ruins everything, I was too hastily enamored to lies.
Selfishness ruins everything, I was too happily disguised.

Selfishness ruins me.
It’s what keeps me far from Him
Keeps me trapped in sin
Keeps me locked away and hidden, deep within
Oh Selfishness will be the death of me
it is the death of me

but you wont help me there, no. No. No.
I just need some space and a little time to figure out what happened.
I dont think you did a month ago so I doubt I have much to fear
don’t read too far into this, if you’re even reading at all


transparency.

Living a life of transparency.

For those that know me know that I live a fairly open life. I will always let you know exactly how I feel whether that is good or awful. I don’t ask for much in return. I don’t ask for your life to revolve around me, rather I’d like it not to revolve around me. I don’t ask for your undivided attention. I only ask that you are completely open with me.

That’s it. It’s simple.

You live openly to me and I’ll live unreservedly to you. I don’t believe in wasting my time by giving only a part of myself to people. I don’t believe that we are meant to live a life of different faces. I will be me if you be you but only if you do it with your full honesty.

I’m not pulling this kind of writing to attack anyone, rather to let you in on me.

I am Bobby Koch. I am twenty-two years old and pursuing a Philosophy degree at Lincoln Christian University for God knows why. I will not claim to be intelligent. I will not claim to know much about philosophy. I will instead prove to you my worth by working hard at the things that get me going. This blog for instance. I love sharing my deepest darkest secrets with the world, especially when I know so very few of you actually give a damn, so I post to my little heart’s content about all the things that either upset me or bring love into my life.

There I go rambling again. I apologize.

Which brings me to something else you have to know about me. I am bound to say “I’m sorry” to you more than a normal human being. Why? I’d like to try to explain it, but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty I am just a terribly unconfident person. I say “I’m sorry” as a means to safeguard myself. I say it because I constantly believe that I am doing something wrong or that I am letting somebody down. No matter how untrue my feelings of self-doubt are, I will continue to apologize because I believe it is the right thing to do.

When I’m wrong, I’m wrong.

And I’m wrong a whole lot. Your first inkling of that may be where I typed “damn” up above. I typed it with full knowledge that it’s going to make somebody, somewhere upset. That honestly makes me super happy. Not that I want people angry or upset with me, but I do not want to live a life that makes me hold back how I feel. I know most people don’t care to read any of this. It upsets me. Not because I’m conceited. It upsets me because I have a personal belief that every human voice should be heard.

and seeing that I am me, I believe my voice is important.

Why? Why not? I’m making my voice a voice that should be listened to. Not for authority, but for pleasure. For something you’d like to read. For something you’d like to relate with. For something you want to be a part of.

With all this being said, I’m back blogging world. Beware, prepare.
