Chosen Few
A true story
With each breath
I draw further and further
From you
Now I don’t know what to do
Because your truth
I chose to forget
So naturally
Our relationship split
In two
Then my prayers became
More and more few
As words of deceit and confusion
I began to spew
The day I realized your truth
Is the day I died
Because I realized that the god I was serving
Wasn’t you, it was all a lie
I was just serving me
But I couldn’t see
Past all of my self-righteousness and hypocrisy
Then you showed me the light
And gave me the choice to continue in darkness
Or to fight…
But I obviously don’t serve you
So by default, I am one with the night
And even though my heart and soul
Still tries to do what is right
All my efforts blow away with the wind
As if it never happened
Right now I am lost
But with you
I can be found
But as long as I deny you
On this earth, I will forever be hell-bound
Though still young
My day on this earth is numbered
I know what I have to do
But when will I do it? I continually wonder
I wonder
Wonder why?
That though for my life,
You have died
Why I can’t pick up my cross
And at least try
Its hard to admit
But I’m afraid
Scared of the truth
And the price I will pay
Because when I found the truth
That day
You showed me
That we live in “The Matrix”
That though my parents think they serve you
We are all living in fakeness
But everyone will think I’m crazy
They won’t take this
But I don’t want to see them wither away
For the rest of my wakeness!
And its after this thought
That I hide inside
Because though I know what to do
I’m too scared, so I put the truth aside
All I know is that the devil is a liar
And he will do
All that he can do
To make us think
That what we serve is true
That is why many are called
But the chosen are few
* Mathew 22:14
Awesome!

thank you so much. Sins cannot be hidden in God’s eyes and he let my mistakes be seen by all such a disgrace but can you blame when it’s virtual not an actual act?

You can sin virtually the same way you can sin actually, I think. I mean no matter how much we try to be perfect, we’re going to sin anyway, that why God died, and that’s why we need him.

as GOd says no one is perfect no not one. Great advisers of this world fall on that category . They know the answers because they have been there and know how it feels

why? sometimes we are not the reason of why we commit that mistake we are humans environment and the people we are with are great factors that’s why I choose my friends while I was younger.

I distance myself from people, I haven’t had a friend for about four years, I know people that I can trust, but no one that I can actually call a friend. So I’m a lone wolf who learns from my own mistakes, people around me, family mistakes and all that. But I mean, of course I’m still impacted by my environment, though I try not to be affiliated in anything

Yeah, it gets me sad at times. I don’t know if it makes me wiser or just less influenced. After reading bad company corrupts good character, I’ve struggled to find a good friend. Thtats why I also haven’t been In a relationship for so long either. I still have a long life, so I’m sure I will meet wholesome people along the way.

well …that’s a good sign meaning more peace of mind. We are of the same wavelenght and it’s amazing . Well, it’s lonely at times but in the long run loving our own company is rewarding . Writing really helps …I always keep a diary, books are my company and a stroll with nature . It’s healing having a few friends of good character who won’t judge us is good than many fake plastic ones. I always try to test others character though but I’m too trusting and overly kind and generous which is a flaw that there were other’s who abuse us so, you’re right few friends is better.

I know that I should not be affected by what people say but know what? I feel humane and human. I’m change and by accepting it as a beautiful mistake in life there’s always a chance to repent and be more fired than before life is a cycle there are reasons why it happens. I’m thankful though at one point. Why? I learn to have control over my life actually it makes me stronger as a person making strategic moves to right the mistakes of my past and from there. I can see the big picture who don’t have secrets anyways. Nobody’s perfect though we can’t judge anyone so, what transpire i can’t hate rather be thankful peoples even pastors fall in this category. My last post perfect is a fiction hahaha testing peoples minds and perceptions spicing the thinking just. I’m a bit of a crazy you know.

I’m glad that you are able to learn from your mistakes and use them to live a stronger life. And I can see the bigger picture too…that’s why 95% of my poems are either about identity pr death, I keep thinking about both , you know heaven and hell, state of my soul, and where I’m at as a person.
And it’s okay to be crazy, everyone has a bit of crazy in them haha

when we appreciate the morning because we know what darkness means and how it feels without his guiding light. If we failed in his presence accept it be joyful life is about triumphs and failures . After the fall by learning through it all our relationship with God will become stronger Why? because, the greater our debts and freed from it then, we are more loyal, loving and submissive to his will because in our hearts we sinned but forgiven and love abound than those few are his debts.
