Mind to a Mission

I let my poems do the describing for themselfs

Wake up, and I do my best, 

put my skills to the test, 

pushin me so far, 

I hate the expectations, 

or am I just a complication

what do we get out of conversation. 

Don't want no problems, 

don't mean no disrespect, 

ive been thru hurt and neglect, 

and the pain is on overload, 

bottled up the poisen, and you don't want no overdose. 

Real talk, I don't let no sneaky get past me, 

those wise words you chose weren't clever enough to grasp me. 

Cleary I see a front when its right in my face, 

tryin to get ahead, here take my place, 

i'd rather be somewhere around a bigger person instead. 

See I listened to what you said, 

but I was confused on what you really ment. 

So my prayers to God, they were sent, 

and he showed me something different. 

It's a choice to pray, and to believe in the power of it. 

I remember what was said about that too, and I think different from you, 

so in my head, thats not true. 

Agree to disagree, thats what I do,

I guess its new,

Im me, I love it, I don't need a label,

okay, should I just lay my feelings out on the table?

only if Jesus reserves me a seat,

following him is the only way I can take this heat.

I've turned my back havn't I?

how can I not even try?

I have no words, only shame,

for my suffering, Im the one to blame,

he gave me life, not a game.

I feel like im not the same,

I don't understand a lot of things,

most of all I can't explain,

why I start the fire, and can't put out the flame,

I ignore what I truly adore,

and give nothing back, 

then ask for more,

I want to pick up the slack,

still I stand hear,

not letting myself think clear,

still I stand in the mirror,

not really letting myself be here.

Jesus I don't deserve what you done,

yet your still standing by my side,

even when I try to run,

my footsteps, you still guide,

for me and everyone,

you suffered, and then gave your all, for us you died.

we don't deserve it at all,

so full of selfishness, your wating, why do we stall?

I just want to learn the ways,

help me out of this phase, and out of this maze,

how did you find me in this place?

I swear its so dark, still I can see your face, 

all this disturbing noise,

so loud, still not as loud or clear as your voice,

soon I want to be able to make a choice,

and be ready to lead as many as I can to the light,

the battle is starting,

I want to do whats right,

help me get to your side,

help me help them learn how to win this life long fight.

teach me how to love like you do, so strong,

teach me how to defeat whats wrong,

I pray with you is where I belong

I pray with you is where the world will start to move along,

I pray with you is where we belong,

I pray with you is where we will start to sing along.

take our attention away from the distractions

turn our attention towards your satisfactions

show us to follow our fathers will

show us this answer to what we all search for and want to feel

show us where to finally find,a way to heal

show us how to keep from being left behind,

show us how to control our mind,

show us that we're all deaf, and blind,

reach out threw me, and help.

God you created me, and your perfect,

so many flaws, so many laws,

but only your worth it,

keep me in your arms,

im nothing

your everything

with you theres no suffering

show me how to get to what you ask me to bring.

please prepare me,

then share me,

 the world needs to hear your words,

and I don't just want to be a big fan, I also want to be a follower that serves, 

only to help bring you treasure,

only to help with your pleasure.

my mistakes are not okay,

ive lost my way,

and only Jesus, and my Father God can save the day.

I feel like this would make a really great song - there's a lot of passion and heart within each line.

Thank you! I've always wanted to write songs, and that's why I write poetry, I am so thrilled you said that, I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you like it.
