Don'T Lose Control

...there is a hunger inside me that i cannot contain
its gnawing my insides....burning through my restraint
its a live-wired bomb waiting to explode
and destroy my life... my world..... my soul

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
