This Foolish Pride

Folder: 
Gotta have FAITH

Foolish pride, I had.

Owning solely this life,

That is never mine.

Taking charge of this life,

That is too big for this mind

To comprehend.



Foolish pride, I had.

Pretending to be somebody,

When I barely know myself.

Searching for something more,

When I haven’t taken a closer look

At the wonders that I have.



It is with this foolish pride

That my sun lost it’s aura

And left nothing but the dark skies.

Leaving me alone in this pit

Of nothingness.

Lost and scared.



It is with this foolish pride

That my bright red roses wilted

And left nothing but its dried thorns.

Slowly piercing through my skin

Numbing me with pain.

Neutrality, carelessness.



I’ve had enough of this foolish pride.

Every step forward is twice a step back.

The higher you reach for the glory,

The painful it gets falling rock bottom.

I want to throw it all away and start anew.

Take my hand Oh Lord, I need You.



And I am letting go…

I am surrendering everything

To Your Almighty hands.

Mold me, transform me.

This life I have, I offer unto Thee.

My Lord, from now on, let Thy will be done on me.
