Something for me
I am a representative,
ambassador, and spokesperson for battle scars.
Self inflicted wounds
were created by a silver spoon.
Low self esteem use to
be my life rule; use to run with deceptive fools, which was cruel.
No father figure, let’s
paint a bigger picture, no mother, I guess that’s why my emotions were always
smothered; because she was supposed to be my cover.
My sister left earth
early and gave my soul a blister and my circumstances turned into a result of a
repeated twister.
Neglected, misused,
and abused, stranded from life’s tune.
No past nurturing to
let this constant flower bloom.
In the midst of all
the self destructive tragedy grooves; I turn to Jesus.
With Christ I gain my
life I lose, to his call, I can’t refuse.
He’s the answer to all
life’s clues.
I must carry my own
cross.
For my renewed mind,
He bled over 2000 years ago, just so I could live.
They made Him carry
his own dogwood tree.
Weights of pressure
and rugged intentions shaved my image that was full of blemish.
Now my soul has been
replenished.
He was misunderstood;
they nailed Him to the cross, nails in His hands, they pierced Him in His
sides, and they nailed Him in his feet.
They made the crown of
thorns on his head run deep.
He put the devil in
defeat.
This is how
All of my life, I’ve
waited for a resurrecting moment like this; his love for me takes me into pure
bliss.
I never knew
He has all power to
change what you use to be, into who you should be.
He’s all seeing, all
knowing, and full of all wisdom.
He’s omnipotent,
omnipresent, and omniscient.
He is simply God in
trinity- the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
He’s the creator of
smooth, clean lyrics.
My scars have healed
and now the word of God is my daily meal.
I am a warrior, no
longer in chains, I can’t be killed.
Jesus erased my pain.
So are you ready for
battle?
What about your
What took place in
your life that made you a stronger person today?
Live life the battle
scars way, don’t play, run the race, and flow at God’s pace.
Now you know me a
little bit.
