Wont give in
I have a dark cloud, over my head
Filling me, with an unending dread
I cannot escape it, cannot hide
Cannot stop, the dieing inside

I drown in a world, that is so lost
Fight to get out, no matter the cost
Claw at the lock, that traps me in here
Traps me in horror, a world of fear

I cry out to you, but you aren’t there
You watch me die, and you don’t care
You look away, pretend nothings wrong
But soon ill be gone, it wont be long

All that matters to you, is yourself
A plastic life, placed up on a shelf
You look down on me, thinking your great
Teasing me, I ain’t taking the bait

I’m better than that, though you don’t know
I’m able to conquer, every foe
I can get out, I can make it through
You’re not my friend, and I don’t need you

I used to think, that you were the one
But life was hard, and things were not fun
You spoke, and I listened, to your lies
To you, my downfall, was no surprise

You were greedy, ruthless and so cruel
All you wanted was, my life to rule
I wont give it to you, anymore
I’ve found who will help me, off the floor

My soul you cannot, satisfy
If I listen to you, I will die
You don’t love me, wont take care of me
But I’ve found someone whose grace comes free

When things are tough, and lifes looking grim
The one that I turn to, will be Him
His love is something, I cant replace
And with His help, I will win the race


Its not that great but watcha think?
Its about someone (I) who is trapped in sin, listening to the lies of the devil (YOU) but the devil is happy that the person (I) is in a pit and cant get out. But finally the person finds God (Him) and is able to overcome their hardships, and able to leave the devil and his lies behind. I hope that makes sense.

A good picture of a downword spiral in satan's clutches and the awesome realization that we can count on our Savior.  The decision is ours.

greeneggs-n-ham,

Not that I qualify as a poetry critic or anything, but, of the poems that I've read of yours so far, I liked this one the best. I felt that it really came from the heart and I thought you captured the inner battle very very well... He always is and will be the answer!!! Amen.

Good job, God bless, and Happy Father's Day.

-Bob
