My First Poem

New and Refreshing,
All the blessings that are in store,
I knocked, and the door was opened,
I was lost,
But now I'm found,
I have come full circle,
And searched all around,
I've been up,
But mostly down,
My whole sound I pray has changed,
My range is straight and narrow,
Instead of wide and spaced out,
I shout for help every single day,
And sometimes it looks like he
Does not answer, but he's always there.
I got rid of my old poems of my past life
Because I was faking it
Now I'm making it
And God is the reason why,
I cry often, sometimes from joy,
Sometimes from pain,
Sometimes from the strain of the
Devil on my back
Begging me to come back
I have a lack of knowledge
Of the word right now
But I love God
So I'm never going back
It's like prison not having God in your heart
And I would die before I
Go to that prison
I confess for people to hear
I'm a better father now
A better son now
A better friend
I'm trying to get right within
A better brother
I deeply love my sisters and
Mother
I'm a better uncle trying to
Be a shining role model
Where there is none to be seen,
I'm not perfect, but God is,
And I represent him
Because he is within me
I have water from up above now
And I will never again thirst
I've written hundreds of poems
But this is my first.
