I Almost
I ALMOST –IT’S JUST ALMOST
Obsession with obscurity objects-obtruding my offering
Friends and families framed in my fairytales-hiding my fears
Scared to show the true colors-waiting to be validated and valued by vanity
Lost love, rooted in rooms with no windows-lack of wisdom cost me to loss all
Wives whispering wishes, wishing wrong words where never sown in sight
Now covered in fame and fancy fantasies, facts are now factions to my sight
I almost lost my life if it was not for you; I almost lost faith if it was not for your faith
I know you love me, please take me back, I almost lost your footsteps of life and love
I have become prodigal with your presence-my desires deceived me
I have become my cravings, lost the course of life-purpose of living
I live in shadows of life covered in pleasure, luxury, and leisure-void soul
Truth is now trauma to my spirit because I now live a lie as truth, absent from truth
Religious with rituals without relationship or righteousness to relate to: please help
Born from fallen generation, searching in dark places, sightless from light-blindness
I almost lost my life if it was not for you; I almost lost faith if it was not for your faith
I know you love me, please take me back, I almost lost your footsteps of life and love
You are the place I call home, you are the joy and peace I hunger for
I am now shrinking because I have lost your presence-relocate me back to you
Perception perfumed by ignorance, producing pitfalls with self-justifiable-painful
Please return me to the well of the creator, drinking fresh waters – refreshing
Review my identity, pass the past, projecting present into future-vision restored
Broken pieces, broken pot, broken heart, broken life into the potters hands, remaking
I almost lost my life if it was not for you; I almost lost faith if it was not for your faith
I know you love me, please take me back, I almost lost your footsteps of life and love
