Judgement Day

I can’t stand to look you in the face
Yes my Lord, I am a disgrace.
I’ve lived my life in sin
And I’m afraid to say this is the end.

For today is “Judgement Day”
And I’m most definitely not shouting hip hip hurray!
Yes, I am a sinner, a liar, and a thief
But absolutely no one has ever knocked my belief.

I hope this is enough to get me through the gate
But only he, my Lord and savior, can decide my fate.

Yes, today is “Judgement Day” and I’m looking around this place,
Everyone has the same terrified look on their face.
I can only assume where I’m going and it’s not where I’m hoping.
I know my past, so I’m getting ready for this hot flash.

Sooner or later it’s me.
I’m next in line.
I shake; I shiver, even let out a little tiny quiver.

Here I am getting judged on this day.
Man, oh man
What a price I’m about to pay.

Kacy, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
