Open Mic Night

So, last night was my first time EVER reciting a poem. Man, I went through a lot to get there. LOL you might be able to hear my voice cracking.. I think I was about to cry mid-way through. SMH LOL When I tell you, the enemy was attacking me... it was some serious stuff...But the hand and grace of God led me to continue on despite the tribulations that came my way. I cried, I was very sad before I even got there.. it was just a MESS but my girls Brittany "Monique" -- she's the one who comes on after me -- and Vania definitely tried their best to get my spirit back up... with prayer and patience, I built up the courage to let go of those emotions and the events that took place and got on stage... strangely enough.. The poem and what happened that night coincide with one another..ANYWAY...here's my new poem .. "Myself"..




Myself.. I need freedom from... myself
Because, myself... is always doing something else
That contradicts Your Holy word
See my heart, has been so disturbed, Caught up in the lusts of the world,
I was almost at the point of NO return
I was almost at the point of NO return
I was almost at the point of NO return
Which way did he go George, which way did he go?
Got me going in circles now I don't know
Which way is which, because now I'm in a pit
Confusion [amiss]
Dag! I fell for his trick
Once again here we go, Same ol' same ol' Puppet show
But THIS time, now I know it's
Myself, LORD free me from... myself
Because myself, is realizing that I need some help
Help to break away the chains, This program is old, it needs to change
No longer can I stay the same
No longer can I stay the same
No longer WILL I stay the same
It's dark in here, BUT I can see a light, It's so small, but yet so bright
So, on that day... I chose to be free
LORD Jesus PLEASE save me! Holy Spirit move inside of me!
The Godhead is 3, the most powerful source, Those chains were broken, with a mighty force
And now, myself, is free from myself
Because, now I know it's not JUST myself
God dwells in THIS temple I had to die to self
God dwells in THIS temple I had to die to self
God dwells in YOUR temple you have to die to self
Pride, and hatred, vanity and gratification
I made a vow to deny fornication
The old me, is gone, I've been made a new creature
Now I stand among those few peculiar people
As You continuously mold me into Your, Original masterpiece
Now myself, is finally free...and at peace
