Beata Agustin Poet Dramatic Monologue

Human Nature

Skeptical midst truth
deceiving self with hope's bliss
while struggling against pride
then battling over jealousy
as triumph missed mark of confidence...
oh, vain glorying becomes inevitable
along agony to accept flaws...
here am I succumbing 
yielding ego upon divine altar
striving to persist, and now express:
"forgive me." 
Such is what heart beseeches.

Sara Kendrick October 10, 2025 at 2:43 AM If we are followers of Christ, we spend a lot of time breathing little prayers asking God's forgiveness and trying to get ourselves right. Thanks for sharing this one and reminding me that I need to keep up the repentance in my life. Sara K
