7 Deadly Sins

My faith is all I have, all I'll need

but why do I question what brings me glee?

The sounds of thoughts zooming around awake,

the guilt and wrath I cannot shake.

Trapped in a battle with God and time.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart"

but I flinch, I quiver with greed,

due to the habits that hither me.

My love for God so strong but my gluttony still eats

and I become more and more like a sloth.

Lust and pride tie me up and force me to take a long hard look.

At the trust behind my mask,

the truth that I always fail against my flesh. 

"God help me, I'm drowning" I scream.

The reality crashes down on me, 

I turned my back on the raft he sent.

Lies and envy clutter my layer of secrets.

Can't seem to muster the courage to admit,

admit I need to give up my way of life

Comfort is the cloack I dawn,

only I choose to take it off and on.

Escaping the prison I've built myself will be daring.

If only I never with the 7 deadly sins.
