I Let **** In: The Secret That Almost Destroyed Me- Part 02
I let lust lead. So when I speak on this, I’m not guessing. I’m not judging. I know what it does. It rips your heart. Messes up your mind. Twists how you see people how you see yourself. It cages you. Makes you smile in public but cry in secret. Makes you feel too dirty for grace. Too broken for mercy. Too far for forgiveness. And the worst part? It makes...

I Let **** In: The Secret That Almost Destroyed Me - Part 01
The day I let *********** in... I didn’t even know what I was letting in. I was just a curious boy 11, maybe 12 scrolling one evening. One video. One image. One pop-up. One “harmless” click. Boom. That was the beginning of the shadows. They say curiosity killed the cat — but they never said it could kill the conscience too. It started small: Late nights under blankets, volume...

Lust, A Dangerous Master -Part 02
If you cannot overcome lust in the time of grace, What makes you think you will stand in the days without it? For the trumpet is close, the sky ready to split And only the righteous shall be removed from the wrath to come. Flee now while mercy still calls. Run from the screen, the scene, the shadow, the scroll. Run...

The sinking ship
I think I've found myself on the wrong side of love. It's still love so it hurts to see it. When I'm not with him, I want to be. When I am with him, I want to run away. I know I should have enough courage to just stay away, And I know I shouldn't think I'll never have love...

Premium Member Why Should I
Why should I live my life according to the rules of man? Why should I continue this lie? Even if I advise you not to worry about your life, you might simply respond, "Why should I?" The soul of Jonathan was intertwined with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own. So, how...

A Year Has Past
Nothing beats the summer breeze The memories of the ones who leave Lotus flowers smile at me Saying this will pass, you’ll come to see Walking in a forest with my shoes in my bag Wishing I were leaving the town that I have The year is almost over, and I’m still lying on the grass The...

Soon the night will be coming Neon lights will be humming Las Vegas opens her eyes The rich and their sifters The dreamers and drifters Will converge for the prize Each night another born Drawing cards till the morn Nothing else will suffice On a starry-eyed mission Their misguided ambition By the roll of the dice Still, there's winners and losers Tea-toters and boozers For most...

Premium Member Sleeping With a Plastic Enemy
Looking back, it seems I've made a giant plastic nest. Plastic cars -plastic totes- plastic toys plastic guns- plastic utensils-plastic boats plastic bags- plastic easter eggs-plastic remotes. Plastic Jesus hanging from a plastic cross a plastic grimace on his perfect plastic face. I've fallen hard for plastics so cheap and practical no more slivers of glass in the soul It's really God like it's an...
