Fighting with the darkness,

Pressing on for phantom dreams.

Dissipates in the air.

Taking me down.

To the ground.

Heartbreaking realization of things not meant to be.

Things that are not.

Things that never will.

Hopes on the unbalanced.

Crashes like waves on the mighty rocks.

Eating away bit by bit.

Stubbornness of my heart.

Perhaps

Lack of humility.

I refuse to give in.

I should; but will not.

Looking for the answer

The reason

PURPOSE.

Parrying with my foes,

You're there.

Watching me.

Loving me.

Waiting for me to fall.

Waiting for me

To NEED You.

To need You desperately.

I do.

I need You so much.

Place this passion in me.

Let me drive on in life for You.

I WILL find everything in You.

I need nothing more.

But first

I must let go.

Help me take the first step my Lord.

Touch me

And nothing will become more real than Your touch.

Comfort me

I will need no other arms around me

Teach me

Discipline me

Be gentle with me

That I may be more like You.

Show me how to love

That I may love others

The way You love me.

That I may Yove you too.

Jesus,

Live in me.

Don't ever forsake me.

Without You I am nothing.

I will surely die.

Break me free of this carapace.

Embrace me in Your light.

Let me live the destiny You have made for me.

That one day

I may come home to You.

That You may call me faithful.

That I may finish this race.
