Keep Chasing Me


When you look at yourself what do you see? Because some might say themselves but that’s not what I feel in me. And when I try to find what others see in me I cringe knowing that it’s something I may never be I’m living in this world always trying to please The ones who are either looking at me in high praise Or utterly fatigue. And because of this I question myself like it’s my highness Trying to figure out how I will ever get to my highest And to doubt myself the pain is excruciating Because the answers I’m looking for I’m anticipating And though I’m living this fleshy life I’m on a time limit trying to get my spirituality right Because at the end of the day there’s nothing else that matters But what god sees in me So I’m climbing those ladders To the highest for as long as it takes me Watching the devil chase me Because he knows once I’m up there he can never break me And as I watch him chase me through his fleshly forms I keep on climbing because the decision I’m making is about to be completely out of the norm And for those who are watching Please don’t judge me But instead take my hand and be chased with me To be honest, I find this more like a game It’s like I’m playing tag with the devil One minute he’s in full speed after me And the next I’m defeating him with the bible It’s a catastrophe But everything I’m going through feels like a blast to me Someone please tell me is this how it has to be Living in this reality Because if it is, Throw me some boxing gloves because it’s about to be round three And through this fight When all is said and done The devil will still chase But I’m not tripping because I’m running at a slower pace Now I can see the end I’m about to win this race Because the devil can’t keep up Give it a second He’s about to give up And before I knew it There lies that finish line I’m so thankful that it all finally happened in the perfect time And yet, With no regrets I push forward instead of turning around to face the Satan who Like most would do Doubted me the entire time Because God had me all the time I just needed that push That Christianity push The push that was going to get me father then what the world allowed me to do The limitations I was at are now unlimited And those restrictions… there no longer I feel like I’m living a free life A Christian life And every step was worth it Because through every step I made it Farther into the plans that the father had for me And I will never go back And if I slip up the father will guide me back And when I do slip the devil will be waiting But I’m in no hurry Because he’s just gonna have to keep chasing
