a poem i just wrote , haven't named it yet?

Charmed by the man with the eyes to see

Felt rapture

Sudden amongst tribes of our own

Lie unspoken thoughts in each others mind

If only you could know me

If only I could show you

Then you’d see I too am like you

If only you would let me

Go where no armour piercing bullet will go

Let me , a soft voice calls

So you brush away to more urgent things

The girl lacking purpose

Like a prop on our stage

Causes such trouble

And likes to be touched

So I held a silence

From birth till today

When a day soon shall dawn

We’ll cast our shells away

Bought time from a merchant

With a gleam in his eye

Bought time from a merchant

Not willing to die

Buy time from a merchant

Or do I confuse

An ocean of time at my beckoning

With my imaginary muse

So a god lacking intelligence

We all call him names

And prove to him our worthiness

And put to others the blame

I lived in a deep tunnel

To sunlight I gasped

I learned to sleep in silence

With nothing to grasp

Like insignificant ones in limbo

Like the moss on the wall

Update:

i didnt mean god lacks intelligence only our perception of god makes him appear that way in truth , god cannot be put in a box or a book

    Not as good as "thousand fears."

    In the first stanza, you start out in the 1st person, then change perspective suddenly with the third line of the first stanza ("Sudden amongst tribes of our own") to a 3rd person world view, then on the next line change a universal view, then on the next line change back to a first person view. Try to maintain one perspective.

    It's a good practice piece. Keep writing. But don't be afraid to take one you've written, analyze it and make improvements till you have full control of your pen (so to speak).
