This Angel Hasen't Fallen Yet

Folder: 
2005/2006

I speak these words but are they meant to be spoken?

I try to put myself together but am I meant to be broken?

Darkness has tried to reel me in, now i'm hanging on by a thread

Attempting to see the light, but am I already dead?

Long lost screams that have went unheard

I felt the shadows creep in, and in the darkness something lure

I walked in that direction unknowing of my fate

He'd lurk in the corners waiting for me to break

He knows not all but he knows how to decieve

wounds now appear, these scars are like a disease

He helped me kill you, forgive, I didn't want you to save me

But i've felt more pain when you began fading

Who will take me when I die?

You deminish day by day

But something keeps me believing

So please take me anyway

You promised to forgive me in whatever wrong I do

You sacraficed your body

My soul needs life from you

you came to me assuring you'd be there in the end

need not to be afraid, but the battles just began

You have power unimaginable but I can fight on my own

These demons won't consume me you give me strength to hold on

You're with me jesus

this angel hasen't fallen yet, i'll fly before pain breaks the fall

Author's Notes/Comments: 

2006: Interestingly, I had written this poem about a year or two before I got saved.

This poem speak volumes to me. I think everyone goes through the type of questioning you are. God knows I certainly have, but I also realize that God uses times of uncertainty as tests of faith. Each test brings God closer and places you deeper within Him. Keep posting, it was great! I enjoy reading and learning from others. --- jonathan

I really liked this poem for I have had struggles with Satan and God has had to bring me through. I especially loved the lines,
"Darkness has tried to reel me in, now i'm hanging on by a thread
Attempting to see the light, but am I already dead?"
Lovely job =)
