This Journey

This Journey Been on a downward spiral since the day of my very birth Lost in a whirlwind of what is meaning for me on this earth I start to see a glimmer of hope bursting through the storm clouds Suddenly thunder rolls around me, it arouses my doubts I can feel the hard rains of oppression dropping down on me Briefly a ray of chance shines through and it dares to set me free The strong winds of confusion anxiously tries to knock me down With it comes the sweet scent of victory blowing all around Seas of conformity rising above me and I try to jump in Crashing waves crushing my soul, I feel myself sink, so I try to swim A winter of destitute is settling deep in my thoughts In this cold the warmth of restitution is so desperately sought My life drifts by like the sands of time in a dessert wind Even in this barren place, small things piece together to form purpose again Flames of desperation consume me and dares to burn my faith Though smoke filled lungs I cry out, God, just a little more grace
