My First EBook! Available for purchase on LuLu
This was my first poem I wrote coming out of a rough substance abuse phase, a super toxic life style, and choosing Faith over Fear, I read this and get so emotional every-time and I know others can resonate too, or if you're in that battle know its worth it to choose you!
So we take one,
One for the pain, then another for the guilt to conceal the shame
And just one more your mind will be free
But it’ll only last so long you’ll see
A perfect illusion to tame humanity
Reliant and distracted by things that shouldn't be
And the day will come when you face reality
It make shake you it may break you
But never lose hope
God won't punish you because you didn't know how to cope
Accept what you've been through and he will heal the things that broke
A concept that seems so simple and easy I know but if you've learned anything in life the Hardest path is to grow a journey that starts by letting go and grieving for everything and Everyone you use to know
Some may call you angry selfish and mean
But they to will find out things aren't what they seem
I choose to change and wouldn't fall for the scheme
And still have hope for those still stuck in that dream
They'll call you crazy
You know they will
Don't let it get to you let your mind be still
The devil may come to remind you, you still have freewill
Look to God he’ll remind you how far you've came
Looking forward you know you could never be the same
A part of you may be sad a part may smile
The thing about life is were only here for a while
Have no regrets just memories made
Carry a light heart and let the pain fade
Thank God for not letting you stay the same
Without him all the world can offer you is a name
With him you'll have heavenly fame
You'll know better then to play these earthly games
This journey wont be easy but really neither were the others
Nothing will prepare you for the truths you'll uncover
But really that's the beauty of it all
Rise above it and let the negative perceptions fall
Without the bad times it's hard to hear gods call
Before I took this journey I wish I would've known
The evil is set to turn your heart to stone I've found that to be the biggest
Trap to not fall forgive and be compassionate
Its the biggest lesson of them all
That's the way to save yourself from any downfall
