Cravings get the best of me
Feel like it’s arresting me
Tryin’ to stay healthy
But my body keeps rejecting me
Searching for that fill
Of holes in heart and will
To stay on track
No looking back
Moving forward up a hill
The harder that it gets
While struggling with my mind
The doubt in my heart
Takes up all my time
Grace is freely given
It’s heavy on the heart
A secret I’ve kept hidden
Keeps me hiding in the dark
Darkness takes its toll
As light begins to fade
Trapped in a stronghold
Of sinful misbehave
Redemption comes to light
I stay on His good side
Then temptation creeps
Into my body and my mind
Repeated giving in
To the same old sin
Hopping on and off
Of the happy hope wagon
I finally come around
I see what this all means
Without the sinful nature
I wouldn’t need His peace
Bring it to me LORD
Fill up my empty space
Change this broken heart
I’ll run to win the race

Leya, this is so well written, and I remember how it feels. One step forward, two back! Well done!
Thanks very much Fred! Your comments are always appreciated!
Very nice makes me wonder what you’ve kept hidden and why it was effecting you so deeply and how you’ve overcome it ... all of which you of course don’t have to answer .. good poem Leya glad you got to a good place
WL, stay tuned my friend. More of my story unfolds with each of my writing pieces. It seems to naturally come out as I put the pen to the paper... Or in this case, my fingers to the keyboard.... I am so glad it intrigued you and that you care enough to wonder. I am glad to be in a good place as well! This poem was written during a rough time, but I posted it because even though I am moving on, this darkness also made me who I am today. I really wanted to share that. I also really like to mode to this poem. You can kind of read it like a rap and it starts to sound cool 🙂
