Apparently, I haven’t been living my life
Up to the point where I don’t even know myself anymore
The reason I answer back to my parents is because of you
You are the reason why I smoke
Why swear words always somehow find a way out of my mouth
And why these drugs always end up in my bag
Yes, I’m talking to you
Media

The things you tell me appear like treasure
But not all that glitters are gold
Not all the sheep in the flock are white
Not all the fruits in the basket are sweet
Not everything you say is right
I thought you were great
But it turns out you’re just another liar

You,
You are like a blindfold that covers the truth
Like a deceiver that whispers in my ear
“Hey, it’s alright to steal, alright to ****, alright to destroy”

You put me into this abyss
Deeper and deeper I fall
Until the light is no more

But the fault isn’t all yours
I took the first step
I let you lead me down the wrong path
I,
I too was at fault
We all are at fault

But there is still hope
We can still escape this abyss
We can still untie this blindfold
We can still uncover the truth

But how?
How do we climb out?
How do we see again?
How,
How do we go back to the truth?

I tell you now, there is only one way
One. Way.

Through Him
The way,
The truth,
And the life

We must fix our eyes on God, and not on earthly things
For this world is only temporary
So let us build on what will last
And make the most out of our lives

Ephesians 5:15-16 says:
Be very careful, then, how you live
not as unwise but as wise,
Therefore do not be foolish,
But understand what the Lord’s will is

So I warn you here and now
Be careful with what you hear
Be careful with what you see
Because looks can be deceiving and your ears can be mishearing

So, media,
I quit
I am done following your ways
I am done being your slave
Starting today, everything I do
Will glorify Him and only
Him

Apparently, I haven’t been living my life
So I will start living it
And my reason will be You
And only You
