Christian Poems

What do you do with this demon inside?
Just waiting to strike every time that you sigh
When you’re sad or lonely, stressed or confused
When you’re angry or mad or feeling abused
When you feel good why go back to the bad?
When the bad makes you sad and makes everyone mad
Why make bad good when you know that it’s not
Why cover your tracks when you know you’ll get caught
Then by just one selfish decision
Your life is in shambles due to your addiction
You lied to God, to yourself, and others
The devil has trapped you again and you’re smothered
So how do you act and do what’s right?
Do you sit and pray, do you run or fight?
And how can you trust someone in power?
When it seems like they too, sin every hour
Now I just feel like everyone lies
Like they’re fake and phony and wear a disguise
And not only them, I feel like I am
I disobeyed God and I truly hurt Him
So why do we do what we don’t want to do?
When we claim that we’re Christians and that we’re brand new?
Our flesh and our spirit is in a war
We must constantly feed the one we love more
Well, I love God very much and I know it
But sometimes my actions in life don’t show it
The demon inside is named addiction
It’s coming to kill me that is my prediction
But if I keep God first in my path
Then I will dodge it’s evil wrath
But I’m just human like everyone else
I’m no better I need God’s help
I need it bad and this I admit
That without God, I ain’t shit
My conscience eats at me when I sin
I never can live this way again
Life or death is a choice we choose
I choose life so that I won’t lose
Just show me how and keep me close
Cause You’re the One that I love most
So God forgive me and dust me off
Find me again because I am lost

What a wonderful, real and truthful piece!!!

You have such passion in your write it affects me.
Living in sin is what we do, trying not to is all we try to do
But in the end life would be nothing, taken for granted, if we were not challenged or free to walk outr own path. I sin every day in many ways mostly minor on the scale of human right or wrong but each sin is equal to any other repentance is a cycle of trying. Don't beat yourself up over it. The beauty of the current life becomes ever more beautiful when it is threatened. A great reminder, of the infinite beauty that after/other lives perhaps will come to be. Enjoy the mystery and the fact you have a choice each second of the day to go either way, there is great power in choice even greater power in enacting that choice. Wonderful write I don't spiel unless I really feel it. Thanks can't wait to hear more!


Don't let any one shake your dream stars from your eyes, lest your soul Come away with them! -SS
