A Second Chance

Folder: 
Faith

Waves keep crashing into me slowly,

I haven't a clue where I'm at or why I'm here.

I've been lost now for quite some time,

I just wish that you were near.



My senses seem to be diminishing now,

As I bury myself deeper in this unknown tomb.

Feeling so much pressure upon my body and soul,

I would give anything to break out of this endless gloom.



Worse than mosquitoes, the stress is eating me,

Overpowering my freedom, beyond my control.

I have no chance to break free from the devil,

Without letting God rule.



It's been awhile since I've given up on my faith,

When all doubt started entering my mind.

Now I'd give my world for God to forgive me,

Leaving all of those horrible times behind.



I'm starting to remember a prayer,

My mother taught me a long time ago.

Reciting bits and pieces of it,

I beg for God's forgiveness, and let the devil go.



The sun is now shining upon me,

I don't feel so alone anymore.

The gate of Heaven is ahead of me,

I'm standing on Heaven's floor.



I see the angels of God by my side,

They’re telling me to be strong

They say that it’s not my time quite yet,

Although here I do belong.



I've let God back into my life,

Pushing the devil forever away,

Life is going to be much easier now,

No day is ever a bad day.

I like your poem but i would like to see a stronger style; i come across alot of poets who have alot of talent but do not use semicolons etc. using more then commas can increase the fluency of a poem. But good job anyhow.

Hmm... Like a flock of sheep to the herd. What beasts of burdain we are to god. Yay! Sorry, I thought it was pretty spiffy. I just personally am not too sure if Gods really out there. Go figure.

Wow!! sounds like you really spoke your heart in this poem! It's true everyone gets a second chance, God is always there to take you back no matter how far away you may seem from him. I wish you the best in your faith. Just always remember, no matter how tough things get just stop, look up and say a prayer to the "man upstairs" cuz he's always there, always listening. And even if you can't speak cuz you're so upset, he knows what you need in your mind even before you say it. That's something the devil can't do-is read our thoughts. He can only tempt us with evil and lead us astray from God. But girl, da'devil was beat 2000 years ago when our Savior died on the Cross for us! Keep your head high and you faith strong!!
Always here for you,
Bobbie
