The Gospel Affect

My heart is pounding violently
against my chest
as I take each step
really fast...

running away from myself.

I fall to the ground
the asphalt digs deep
and my hands bleed
turning my head...

looking back, I am still there.

Embraced by fear
the hairs on my neck rise
as I gaze into myself
I can see the devil in those eyes...

unable to break free.

So once and for all
I answered the call of grace
praying for humility
then everything changed...

and I love the new me.
