Stuck


Hebrews 10:35 

35 Therefore do not cast away your confidence,

which has great reward.

 

 

Stuck.

 

 

Confidence lost … what is the cost?

Is there a price to be paid?

One life to live … nothing to give.

Death reigns from early to late.

 

No purpose in sight ... only darkness no light.

There is no use to go on.

Totally plastered ... a game never mastered.

Directions from the start were all wrong.

 

The rules made by self … stacked on a shelf

never looked at by others around.

A straight way to hell … as you can tell.

Never a truth to be found.

 

No faith in the heart … totally torn apart.

Insecurity swallows the whole.

Is this God's will … a bitter pill

that kicks and batters the soul?

 

Much anger inside … under girded by pride,

that sickness that in emptiness boils.

It drives from within … in directions I've been,

where the smell of death constantly spoils.
