    CHOICES

    Dark voices want to cut me down

    Anger starts to move me

    Bitterness creeps into its place

    isolation move me to the left

    Insecurities push me to the right

    Doubt kicks me in the back

    The force is so great I fall from His grace

    I dust myself off, I stay in control of my life

    I try getting up, again, and again I fell

    everthing was crumbling beneath me  

    I realize I am not in control

    I cried out to God, I thought you cared

    Where are you my life is falling apart 


    I tried to call on the name of all names

    Everytime I called I felt farther from his grace

    I knew my faith was shaky and weak

    I was tired of feeling empty

    I knew forgiveness was a choice to choose

    Without delay, I heard His voice

    He was here, He had never left me

    He died so I'd be rescued, He rose so I would be free 

    right then I felt his touch, I knew I was forgiven,

    He gave me direction, equipping me to believe in myself

    encouraging me to get back up every time I fall

    He gave me faith like a tree I was planted

    He gave me courage like a rock to stand my ground

    Your style reminds me very much of my favorite poet- Helen Steiner Rice. You should really check out her work if you haven' yet. I think you'd enjoy her work, too. Beautiful work here!
