Lost and Found -Unedited Version-

Writing a masterpiece Takes so much effort and thought My mind’s settling in my comfort zone – feed me with flawless peace Words seem to escape me…my feelings mean naught Anger molds me in inside and out…I feel insecure again Peace barely meets my body Joy seems to abandon me like an orphan Faith passed away – it’s buried too far below the debris Have I lost the race? Writing a successful book…writing in general Takes so much confidence and self-control My mind is stacked up with debt… Words splinter my tongue – I can’t repair my tarnished soul Danger is placed in many corners Happiness is a few blocks away from me Fearlessness dives into me Acceptance of who I am – God’s chosen one Have I won the race? Have I found His grace?
