To Not Do

Here we are again.

We're past the fact.
And I feel this way again.

I feel like I've done something terrible, again.
I feel like I should hide from You, again.
I feel ashamed to show my face to You, again.
I feel like I've died.

Again.

Why must I always come back here.
Why must I always give in.
Why must I always turn away.
Why is it so easy to sin.

Everytime I feel like I can't face you.
I've been told you have payed for all my sins,
for the sins of the world.

But everytime,
I feel like
it's the worst thing I've ever done.
I feel like
I need to beg you for forgiveness.

Everytime
I say
it's the last time.
I say
I want to never again return here.

So why am I here again.
Why am I here again.

I feel inadaquate.
I feel weak.
I feel judged,

Why can't I feel loved.

Why do some things
I've been told
not line up with some things
I've felt.

Once again I will beg.
Once again I will turn back to You.
Once again I will renounce my actions.
Once again I will repent.
Once again I will feel the joy of living as you want me to,

but will I once again turn away..?
I don't want to.
This is what I say/pray.

  1. i've been there, or is it here
    where scars remind us to fear
    and faith is weak so we seek
    selfish gain that fades away
    so quickly

    we return to our knees
    asking God for peace
