Even a sinner
A sinner like me
Can see the truth in the light
I can make a stone-cold blind man see my way
Through tough times
Trials that threaten to strangle the very life I hold onto so dearly
Precariously I stand on the edge
Dearly departed I shall not be
For I have faith stronger than steel
But even steel bends and breaks
Under the strain of a broken heart
Mend me so I can fulfill my purpose
A purpose divinely bestowed upon me
Moving cool through life’s failures
Have I completely failed or secretly succeeded?
Won one of many battles before the wars won?
Even me a lowly peasant can be great
Even the broken hearted can find love
Greater than the enemies I face daily both human and other
Give me strength to move on
Bigger and better things is what I lust after
Lusting
A deadly sin that shows my determination to have what I want and need
No quick fixes
No rushing to the finish line
I’m satisfied with delayed gratification
