Why Am I Here

No other way for me but to be honest before man and God, I'm only a man created from sod. But I still try to do my holy part.

I'm here because
I came
inspired by His
holy name
Because of my sins
at first I felt shame
I no longer play
that game

The shame is gone
I accept my
poetic throne
So here I sit
still sinning like chit
cursing a little
while I verse it

Each day I try
to do better
but the eradicator
is trying to be
my babysitter
Lord knows
I'm no quitter

But the devil is
a super hard hitter

I favor
the creator and savior
and offer no excuse
for my bad behavior
Only that I was
born into sin
but this doesn't mean I'm
going to let the devil win

I Know Why I TRASK Am Here,i.e.Might Be You Go Into MEDITATION And Ask For GUIDANCE...

HOW IT WORKS: No Voice Is Ever Heard Only You Are Only Guided What To Do...

Keep Writing Your Stuff...

Hey,I'm glad you are here man.No one is perfect.People try so hard to be like Superman where in reality each and every one of us has a kyrptonite.You are here because you are a gift to the Lord and he is indeed proud of the type of human being,man,and individual you truly are just like we are at the Den.Your poetry is powerful,moving and touching.Your words is the voice that you scream with such might.You're a strong person.I enjoy reading this poem,take care of yourself and continue being yourself and overcoming obstacles

I don't let the devil win in my life either. I fight him and say Get away from me Devil and he does. Love God and he does right by me too. Glad you confess your religions this way. You will be rewarded some day too.

You also here because you touch many with writes like this. We all have sinned and each day we have that foe to fight. Well done, Beat regards, Bonnie
