Sin <br /> <br />Captured by my emotions <br />Mixed feelings race within <br />Struggling to embrace this dreadful <br />dirty deed I’ve gotten myself in. <br />Knowing fully well, <br />that the next lie I’m soon to tell <br />Is charting my course to many more <br />A road leading straight to hell. <br />With no regard for the picture <br />I paint so grimly for myself <br />I tuck the truth and the freedom <br />It provides, neatly on the shelf <br />I lock away the transgression <br />my mind and body have performed, <br />while all the while thinking <br />no harm has really been done. <br />I pray one day that I see the light that shines so bright <br />The light of repentance that will <br />restore all my sleepless nights. <br />I pray that when I realize I am completely consumed <br />by the internal torment I have begun <br />That the Lord up above would forgive me <br /> and that I would be redeemed by His one and only Son. <br /> <br />13.January 2008<br /><br />Mary Wismer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sin-25/
