Forgotten
I have spent my entire life searching for my own happiness in the hands of others
Sad but true
Never truly understanding that my happiness lies within me
& within me lies the greatest of love of all
You
Lord you have given me more than I deserve
& I have failed you more than I should
But like the Hero that you are
You save me from the demons in this world
Through the dark and through the light
You see me through
You have given me clear sight
It has taken trial & error to finally see
That my purpose here is to live for you
Not for me
Growing up I remember giving you my all
Praising you
You were the keeper of my Heart & Soul
But somewhere along the way
I lost myself
I lost it all
It is sad to look back and see
That you were always there
Through it all
Not once did you ever leave
I say this is sad
Because I ignored your presence
& continued to do bad
You witnessed the darkest times of my life
But you didn’t give up
You never let me go
You held on and saw me through
Because you have a plan
& it is set in stone
I woke up today realizing that I still have not given myself to you completely
Like I had once before
Maybe it is the fear of change
Or habits that I need to break
No matter what
Either way
I am done with going through the motions
So here you go Lord
My Soul is yours to take
You are no longer Forgotten
