Found Poem

I tried to be perfect, but it never gets easy

My thoughts get so tempting, but I don't want to walk away from you

I don't want to gain the whole world and can't see your face

I don't want them to take the one thing I have left, don't let them beat me to the ground

There was a time I used to say leave me alone

And my lips praised your name, but then I turn around and curse and blame

But everything about you just takes my breath away

The things I go through, I am on my face and I'm calling you

But they turn their backs away and choose to just ignore

There's got to be a better way, just think where you step (fijate bien donde pisas)

But no ones believes me, don't let them walk away

I don't want to walk away, even though I am fading

So save me, I don't wan tot lose my soul

Save me, I don't want to be left alone, I care what you say, help me see the way

We all don't want to forget you, no,no, no

In this false life, I need to give, I rely on you

We all rely on you, all eyes are on you lord

So save me from what I have become

  


I made this in 10th grade; it was a poem for AVID where we get music song we like and make a poem.  Most poems had different meanings.  My teacher was very impressed on my poem and how I made this.  My meaning for my poem was about how much the world can take you in and hurt you, and destroy who you and make you a part of the world.  But there is a light;  A mighty light that will rise and save you.  We can stand and sing to God and the Heavens and know we will rise and be saved and go into his kingdom.  As Toby Mac says "I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul"  I pray everyday I do not become a part of the world.  I mess up, but I am forgiven.
