My Chains Are Gone

My chains are gone
I've been set free
I have finally opened my eyes
And now I see.
My life is not a prison
It's God's place for me
I have changed my ways
I know who I want to be.

Thanks Stefan and Mark, When

Thanks Stefan and Mark, When I said 'My Life is not a prison, It's God's place for me' Is where I referred to who I want to be. I want to be in the hands of God. I have asked God into my life.

lmao honey ok IFaP

The first time I did that my life became a continuous misery. But when you start doing the work it begins to get better. I think it is correct when said "God is a pervert" and in relation "Look, but don't touch. Touch, but don't take. Take but don't swallow." (The Devils Advocate) Follow your desires that nobody gets hurt and that is doing the work heavenly ;) bye for now, Mark "Do not ask me about poetry, I am just a poet"

Finding your way

Is half the battle. Find your way, accept and be happy with yourself. That is the whole secret my friend. Well done. Respectfully, Rett: “Anyone who sacrifices liberty for security deserves neither.” Benjamin Franklin

What really struck me..

I needed to ask the question - Who am I? And move from there as I think Rett implies (I think) but you probably already have :~)>]/\__ Mark You are the leaf, I am the tree. Cling onto me, I'll grow into you. http://www.neopoet.com/node/36042
