Victory.!

When will this all be over.?
The internal war that I am battling.
Fighting my inner demons.
So really this can not be healthy.

But Jesus,
O Lord Jesus,
Can this be.?
What I actually needed to set my mind free.?

From this dungeon.?
This cave.?
This maze.?
Of eternal hell.!

I'm lost until I hear it.
There it goes again.
The bell.
I soon follow.
Not knowing where it leads to.
But it has to be better than this.

I fall.
I crawl.
Only trying to reach it.
To receive it.
But I can't believe it.

I may have fell for the lies once more.
But as I began to give up,
Something told me to keep my head up...
...And reach for the door.

I do.!
And its there.!
I inhale the fresh scented air.

And there He stood.
My Hero.

The voice in my ear whispered.
I listened.
And I followed.

And now I am free.!
He opened the gates of heaven to a new angel.
I no longer have to face misery.

I rest this soul.
I rest in peace.
I rest in heaven.
Everlasting victory.!
