Saved

A Poem by beautifulblade

Freeverse rap thing written in 20 minutes

I race against time

to try and outrun

my fears,

trail my words

along behind me

as I hopscotch

over broken mirrors

and memories.

I leave my rhymes

in sidewalk cracks,

don't look back

as I'm walking away,

another day,

another play,

one more chance

to keep fear at bay,

hesitations

have no place

in my life

if I'm ever going

to step up and live.

Gotta give fully

to get freedom,

gotta live fully

to get wisdom,

pray to God that

things go my way

but prepare my mind

to fight a war today.

I have battle scars

left by invisible demons

and they barely even

cover how bad

I'm truly feelin'

but I raise my head high

and show the devil I've won,

he can't keep me down,

this fight is far from done.

For my God is my Rock,

my Refuge,

my Strength,

and he'll keep on fighting

this battle,

no matter the length.

Because love is the greatest

weapon of all,

against it all other things

clatter and fall.

He has blessed me richly

in ways I can't yet say,

but be rest assured,

I will tell you someday.

There are things that are known

and there are things

that are not,

but I know that my freedom

has already been bought.

So I lift up my fists

in a victory stance,

dance and praise what

I've been given,

yet another second chance,

for I will fall more times

than I care to admit,

but as long as I am loved,

I will never think to quit.

Satan

I like this. Hopefully your god can dig deep and find the compassion to feed all those he left to starve
in his world. Hopefully he can make his followers see that the money he created can't feed desperate hungry sick children. Hopefully he allows us to stop killing each other in his holy wars. Ask him if he can do that for us next time you pray please, it would mean the world to me.
