A regretful path
Chose me
I would have passed altogether

A gained hopeful perspective

With time spoke intently
Too me and
Slowly held me in it’s pattern

You carried my heaviest burdens

When I was truly
At my breaking point
Stumbling blocks

Out of the gates

And a few races after  
Altered my direction
My centered entity  

Not for one moment

Ever swayed his course
The one
Permanent fixture  

Eventually the stars aligned

Forthcoming happiness
Was truly
On his radar

A process of elimination

Satisfactions came and went
Like the recycled mail
Outliers that never

Seemed to form a cohesive unit

Molding the
Scattered pieces
Was difficult for a long time

Valid concerns came and went

Unique emotional
Balances would
Eventually equip me to strive

I’ve stared death in the face

Of the many obstacles
Steadfast they tested
My will and faith

Rome wasn’t built in a day

Neither was I
I’ve had to buckle
Down and fight like no other

Against the obstacle courses

And jungle gyms  
I’ve had to climb out of
And carefully maneuver

Happiness is your choice alone

Evil and Depression
Will pry you open
Slowly and leave you for dead

And the blues won’t do you any favors

The worst of habits
Will ******* you
Continuously

Like a cancerous tumor

But there
Is a cure
In him and all his glory  

PERSEVERANCE is the key

Don’t fall short
Of your
Goals and dreams

For after all there is only one life

Here and just take it
Day by day
And let him

TAKE THE WHEEL AND STEER YOU

TO GREATER HEIGHTS

THAT MAYBE HARD TO ACHIEVE

WITHOUT HIM
IT’S NEVER ABOUT ME!!! THANK YOU GOD 🙏💯🌞
Rescue story
An abundant
Well that never runs dry

A love that’s unmatched

There is no measuring stick
For differentiating
The desires of the flesh

Versus the needs of your soul

Even the most
Complex adversities
Can’t outshine your halo

The proof is in the pudding

I’m walking today
Freer at ease
All do to my sanctuary

In the most unlivable valleys

Of dark circumstances
You held me
In your arms

Back to square one

Ironing out the kinks
Pushing forward
Starting anew

Deflecting the blame

I’ll take credit
For some of the fall
But unfortunately I wasn’t

The majority

Too point the finger at
Winning formulas
Aren’t always easy to come by

But one would have

Made more sense
Had life shown me him
A tad bit earlier

Had they handed out

A how too tutorial
Wounds that
Glowed in the dark

What eventually became TRIUMPHS

Over my past obstacles
The demons fled
Nurturing food I began to taste

A much needed healing

Grace through turbulent times
A sad story
Eventually something good happened

Yet not often enough

Sooner rather
Then not at all
Better late then never

Spoken into existence freedom grew

Your words and praises
Maybe they should
Be far more to the ends of the earth

For you are UNDENIABLY THEE ONE

My testimony
Is painstakingly written
One hundred

Percent BETTER TODAY

ALL because of your ENDLESS LOVING FORGIVENESS

MY RESURGENCE is all yours ALONE
Shape of
My heart
Tug of war

Torn to pieces no longer

I’ve waited here for you
Unspoken
All things are possible

In what I can’t see

With my own two hazel eyes
Stand up fight thee
Good fight

Survival of the fittest

No time for wasting away
Seeing is believing
One spark

Changed it all

Life finally begins
Better late then never
I’d almost given

Up on myself

A life I thought
I could never have
Fully attain and value

Came to be

Landed in my lap somehow
Closed my eyes
Took a leap of faith

Learned to fly

And trusted in something I’ll
Never fully understand
And learned to live again

Redemption never

Tasted so sweet
Full speed ahead
Cup overflowing

No turning back around

Thee past is dead
Gone without a second thought
Or care for that matter

Living in the here and now
Never felt so satisfying

Alive finally free to be

WHO I TRULY AM
FITING POEM FOR A SUNDAY WORSHIP!!! 🙏✝️😇
Sands of time
Flesh and bone
Bent but not broken

Decades came and went

Fearless one
You swooped in
Without anger

Ruler of all

Forgiver of sins
And wrongdoings
Freedom came at a price

Yours forever

Closer to heaven then ever before
Strong enough
To shoulder thee burdens

To forgive the wicked

Sinners of this place
By your grace alone
I was saved

From my wretched self

Is nothing short of a miracle
There are no words
Forever grateful

Could it be

I can finally
Feel my heart beat steady
My eyes are clean

My soul has been washed

Cleansed by you
I am truly in awe of all your are
I’m not worthy

There is only one

Never be another
Never duplicated even if they tried

Holy majesty never shaken

You are truly thee ONLY ONE FOR ME
Switchblades
Why can’t the echoes
Block me out

Of there crosshairs

Thee bright abyss
A novice I’m not
Scour the earth

With my hatred

Sweet redemption
Why have you forsaken me
This long

Fiction comes in abundance  

Biased opinions
Accepted standards
Where have they been

Wilted leaves fallen

Cynical eyes wander
Wounded heart strings that tug
My immortality

Is in jeopardy

Mobilize my soul
And pull thee linchpin out
The thorns on my head

Are far from a crown

They continue to consume
Pierce my skin
More like a curse

A wasteland of ruins

Heavy burdens
That I can’t wait
For the afterlife

To free me from

And dismantle
Me from completely
A tainted flesh and bone

Like a flash bomb

My blood boils
All I’ve ever known
Hopefully I won’t burn

When I arrive at your temple

All I wanna do is
Lose focus on what’s around me
And fly high into the heavens

Like a new born in your arms

Cleansing me with infinite baths
Of your HOLY WATER
Scandalous beauty
Rotting in view
Why was I always the

Sacrificial lamb

I should have
Taken an oath
To draw myself closer

To you sooner

Instead I allowed
The evil to wear me like
A sad painting

Soaking up my sanity inch by inch

Consuming me
Entirely to often
All my praises

Belong to you from here on out

What happened before
Shouldn’t matter
Yet it still displaces my being

Ball and chain

Breaking rocks falling face first
I never had a say
As I was blindsided

By a life I would have written

Differently and had
It been more decent  
Terrorized by

Meaningless tyrants

Like a sick addiction
It became maddening
Forgiveness is a skill

I’ve never quite mastered

And probably never will
My tarnished
Image split me in two

Mirroring a hologram

Left to pick up the pieces
Has never reflected well
In my direction

As I’ve stared it all in the face

The mirrors
That have broken me apart
Sadly to this day

Are the ones I hate the most
