One More Time
So many thoughts flood my mind
I look to the sky and ask God "one more time?"
I made it a habit to search for love, acceptance, and comfort in others
I failed to prioritize the one thing that remained constant in my life
With age, I've noticed that the moon compliments the sky
Love compliments hate
The sunshine always follws the rain
And God's plan is what some call fate
The pain deems unbearable at times
But just like a child with stage fright, the performance proves the mind irrational.
There's so much light around me
Why would I choose to focus on the darkness
Nothing grows in the dark
And dim light is deceptive
I climbed the mountain of adversity
But on the way down, I hit the ground so hard
Too hard sometimes
It becomes repetitive
But my body refuses to die
So when I get back up
I look to the sky and ask God "just one more time?"
This time will be different
All the falling and breaking was necessary
Because my character was on the line.
Jeremiah 29:11-13
