Why Me?

cca298dcf8f7f3066fcf1981737fe43b

Blinded to our blessings
We glare at our problems
With a bitter taste
Always wondering,
‘Why me?’

We stare at others
Turned green with envy
Thinking he or she
Is unshackled by
‘Why me?’

On the ARK of Noah
We share a boat and sea
With angels and demons
We fight our battles, day to day…
Comparison paints a picture
distorted and incomplete

O’ the irony!
That he or she
Is glaring back
Blinded by your light
Thinking
‘Why me?’

Fighting Demons (7/30)

Look into my eyes
Hear the stories they tell
Of the battles I’ve fought
On the fields of hell

Every soul
Is tested and tried
Fighting their demons
Wounded and barely alive

Being pushed to the limit
Pulls out The Guide
The edge of sanity
Is where the Self resides

Embrace who you are
O’ warrior of faith
Your sword and shield
Were forged in Light

When you fight
With faith in hand
You’re invincible
On the battlefield

But if you leave the faith
And stand on your own
All will be lost
Including your soul

You’re not alone
In the war you face
Deep inside you
Lies the army of Grace

A strength so strong
The demon’s shake
Stand in acceptance
And you’ll never break
