I’m made new through God. While following him he doesn’t promise it will be easy, however , he does promise it to be worth the struggle. I am inspired to continue my poetry and share my journey following God to you now by King David. A warrior. A poet.
God why does my heart hate me
It steals my blood
devours my flesh
It wages war against the host
What weapon can seize it
Why does my brain seek to destroy
While also yearning only for your love
And wisdom
Can such fallacious yet pining thoughts
have balance
The fallen nature of man
There all your answers lie
How do I so often forget
your sacrifice
The one made to confirm a purity
Only through you

Lord you reign
Praise you, for you’ve blessed my life
Another day I arise
Undeserving
Your will in my life prevails over all
Please Lord, make me weak
To be strong in you
Allow me humility to be humble
In uncertain and unpredictable times
Your love is undeniable and strength
To much to fathom. You’ve conquered the world , my God
Do the same with me
Make me a new man in you Lord

There's no way
I want to stop it
But I ******* can't
It eats at me
She doesn't deserve to feel
as if every burden
is her doing
its mine
If I did things right
If I was better at this
I live in this constant fear
so trapped in my own afflictions
My lack of control
spirals
why does it have to be this way
it hurts like nothing else
Except for this one moment
I refuse to allow occupy my mind
Maybe if I listened
Shut my ******* mouth
did more, maybe then
she'll understand
my true love to her
my protective intentions
but I feel as if I'm so far
from these things I want to be
for you
I'm sorry.

sunshine glistens on your heavenly face
my heart stands still
my stomach turns and twists
your beauty is unmatched
throughout the earth
what great deed have I done
to deserve a gift like you?
my angel, keeper of my battered soul
my joy is uncontrollable when you
are near-
a rush of intoxicating love
when you are away, I feel you
inside
encouraging my lonely thoughts
singing the words,
ill love you forever.
I smile, I love, my destiny

From this painful bliss
the fact I ponder on if
I could change it
it is what it is I suppose
You help yourself
in the beaten world
The only people there are family
Sometimes their not even enough
to stop the thoughts of how scary growing up is
You cant trust today's society
everyone says they care
then few carry out a task
that proves their loyalty
Strangers will creep into your heart
pretending to know you
pretending to relate
Claims of being there for you till the end
then, **** they're gone
They cowered down and flee
when things get difficult
There's your heart. Sitting there
bumping and thudding
In a pile of blood on the cold floor
that's it
you've lost it all in a matter of minutes
You counted on them to take care of your battered heart
Turns out were all cruel inside.

I have issues
some small,
some big,
some I just can't wrap my head around
My brain is being corrupted
One small thought at a time
Eventually, it will drain out of my mind
every thought, moment, and disbelief
to ever cross my mind
Onto the floor in a pile of sorrow
no understanding, no promise for tomorrow
things my mind creates, the scenarios
don't even make sense
Perhaps for a moment
I could stop the world...
think, comprehend, and decide
How will I overcome the next challenge?
Where is this corrupt world taking me?

she says its because shes hurt
she doesn't know what to do
who to turn to
everyone has left her
let her down
no one knows the true trials
she has persevered through
no one feels the ache in her heart
a longing for touch
love
she feels lost
broken-hearted
loss of spirit
i will revive her
i will break my back
picking all of her pieces up
taking her into my arms
she will be relieved of all sadness
i will give her the love
she never sought possible
