The Poetry the Soul

through poetry
my soul breathes
imprisoned seed
it longs to be free

contaminated by sin
hard to keep clean
hard to breathe in
from all that we bleed

life can seem so hard
we can make it easy
through our heart
prayer and belief

life does whether
we want it to or not
we can pick forever
by given what we got
 
I keep going
I keep praying
I keep hoping
for that day, Amen
