There’s this fire deep within. Oh, I know it won’t be long.
It’s so hot…burning hot! I wonder what is going on?
There’s this passion deep within and it makes me wanna fly.
How this passion’s growing stronger, giving me a natural high.
As I stand upon my feet. I break the bars that hold me down.
Ever strong; no more weak. I’m standing now on solid ground.
On solid ground
I do stand.
All other ground
is sinking sand.
Heart of mine. Oh heart of mine! You have risen from the debts!
Grab my sword and shield to fight. I give my all. I do my best.
As I look into the rearview…the rearview we call life.
I see sadness there behind me, but behold, more in sight.
I was anxious, now at peace. Was depressed, now I’m fine.
I was sick, now there’s healing. And the joy I found is mine!
I was worried, now its past. Was stressed out, that’s gone to.
Instead of praying I would worry, wondering what is left to do.
I tried drinking. Didn’t work. Often played a game of church.
But I found it was no use. It was myself I only hurt.
Yes, I did the best I could being the best that I could be.
If I’m here, there, up or down you’ll think the worst of me.
I see anxiety, depression, worry, stress. See them all behind.
Can’t go down. I won’t go down! Perish the thought. I don’t have time!
Yes, this life is so hard living, but I’m ok. I shall be fine.
I am taking back my life. I am taking back what’s mine.
Sounds like you’re in a swell state of mind, good optimistic read.
Thank you Robt. I have to stay in that mind set, I have no other option if I want to succeed. Appreciate your feedback,
Jarid man.. once again your signature style comes in full blast and that’s why I keep coming back. Masterful write, bro – seriously this is undoubtedly one of my favourites of yours!!
Whoa… wasn’t expecting that! Thanks man! Honestly, didn’t consider this one of my strong writes, but you’ve given me the confidence I needed. Appreciate it!
Such an encouraging, hope-filled write, Jarid! Some of the most beautiful poetry comes from past brokenness, but future wholeness. I loved your words. Good job,
Very true! Thank you so much Jane!
