One on my own, cannot be won”
Each day I dress in my finest
Attire
Shoes of the latest style
My hair neatly done and
Curled
A fashionable statement
To present to the world
~~~
The night had been long,
Dreams of memories,
Awakening with alarm
The first sound in the morning,
The radio is frightening,
Incredibly sad, but that
Is in another country
Nothing here could ever happen
That bad
With the last cup of coffee,
Shirking my shoulders,
In complacency I face the
Day
But one thing I forgot, I forgot
To pray!
The enemy knew that and jumped
Right in
Placing me in a familiar place
when I forget to pray
Of rejection and pain,
Confusion and doubt, anger
Over something I cannot
Do anything about
A battle is raged, one of the
Mind
One on my own, cannot be
Of devils and demons in
Dungeons of hell, seeking
Others like me held prey,
By the devil’s advocates
And all because I forgot to
Pray!
Satan’s attacks are lethal
His time is short
Our only defense is the Word
Of God
His armor our protection
But I had forgotten that!
In the midst of the enemy’s
Playground, a warzone I am
In
Bullets are shooting, artillery
Firing
Sounds of rumblings from
Bombs exploding
My only weapon is the rush
Of adrenalin to keep my
Distance
To increase my flight as they
Chased me night and day
I ran and ran till I could no
More, beaten bruised and sore
Until finally I was backed in
A corner with no place to go
And all because I forgot to pray!
