Honestly

I got many rivals
I’m always hiding in shadows
Searching for scripture to read
And meditate from my bible

I have a diagnosis 
Your thinking a poor prognosis
But that is ok I know the one
Who can fix my psychosis

I don’t claim a victory
But I do have some liberty
With the faith in the son
Who overcame deaths misery

People make fun of me
Which feeds insecurity 
I put up a front
Deep down inside I am lonely

I want your acceptance
But I get your rejections
So I turn to the Father
Who gives me protection

I work with a den of wolves
Their bellies are never full
Tearing me down with those 
Insults its terrible

You say I am a loser
But I am not a drug user
I’m trying to win souls
But they keep acting like boozers

Many times I have faltered
Feel like quitting I’m altered
Pick myself up once again
On my knees at the altar

I got no excuses
Devils says I am useless
But I will still follow the Lord
Keep up with and choose it

Not trying to be right yo
Just enduring the fight though
Peaks and valleys part of 
Life must go on to the end so

We all got a history
But the cross is the mystery
He took all the sin so
That we could go freely

So don’t listen to users
They’re wicked abusers
They follow their master and 
His name is Accuser!

I’ll keep slaying these idols
And give back God his title
And keep reading the stories
He gave in the Bible

My emotions don’t own me
Depression and anxiety
I turn it over in prayer
And I live life joyfully

My emotions don’t own me
Fear and anger and sadness
I send up those prayers
And give him the madness

My emotions don’t own me..
My emotions don’t own me..
